This morning I got up extra early and went to an outdoor sports bar that was open specially for the World Cup...at 6:30AM! They had breakfast tacos and whatever you wanted to drink. My email list notified me that they were showing the Germany game this morning, so I decided why not? It was a lot of fun, actually. All German fans except for one lady wearing a Serbia t-shirt. I bet she had fun gloating. Although the main reason Germany lost that game was because of shitty reffing. Nine yellow cards???
In other signs of the coming apocolypse, England may not advance at all. They couldn't manage a point against Algeria of all teams? Although the advancing system is a little complicated...
FIFA says this:
Got all that?

FIFA says this:
– If Slovenia win or draw against England, they are guaranteed a first-ever last-16 berth.
– If Slovenia win they will finish first. If they draw they will finish first if USA fail to beat Algeria.
– If Slovenia draw and USA win, first place will go down to goal difference.
– If USA beat Algeria they will progress. If they draw they can progress so long as England fail to beat Slovenia, although this will go down to goal difference if England also draw.
– If England beat Slovenia, they will progress. If they draw they can progress only if the USA-Algeria match ends in a draw and goals scored will be the deciding factor.
– If Algeria beat USA, they are guaranteed qualification if England fail to win. If Algeria win and England beat Slovenia, Algeria and Slovenia will be tied on four points with goal difference deciding.
– If Slovenia win they will finish first. If they draw they will finish first if USA fail to beat Algeria.
– If Slovenia draw and USA win, first place will go down to goal difference.
– If USA beat Algeria they will progress. If they draw they can progress so long as England fail to beat Slovenia, although this will go down to goal difference if England also draw.
