Group C of the 2010 FIFA World Cup began on 12 June
and ended on 23 June 2010.[1] The group consisted of Eng-
land, the United States, Algeria, and Slovenia. Only Eng-
land and the United States had previously met at a World
Cup: in 1950, when the United States defeated England
1–0.
As group winners, the United States advanced to face
Group D runners-up, Ghana, while England, as group
runners-up, faced the winners of Group D, Germany.

England vs United States
England controlled the early part of the match and got
off to a quick lead when an unmarked Steven Gerrard
made a run into the box and beat U.S. goalkeeper Tim
Howard in the 4th minute. The U.S. levelled the game
in the 40th minute when a seemingly harmless shot by
England[3]
Clint Dempsey was mishandled by England keeper Robert
Green and rolled into the back of the net. This mishap has
been dubbed "The Hand of Clod" by the media. The U.S.
had a good opportunity to take the lead and pull off a sur-
prise upset in the second half. U.S. striker Jozy Altidore
muscled his way through the left side of the English de-
fense and had a good attempt on goal. However, Green
deflected the shot against the crossbar. England also had
a good opportunity to win the game when Emile Heskey
fired straight at the goalkeeper while one-on-one.

United States vs Algeria
Early in the game the U.S. nearly allowed another early
Slovenia[9] goal as an Algerian shot hit the top bar. Throughout the
remainder of the game the U.S. had a number of good
chances against a solid Algerian defense that allowed just
one goal from two games. U.S. striker Jozy Altidore
volleyed wide of an open net, while Clint Dempsey had a
