Outcomes - group C

Group C
This is England's group, and it's complicated.

If England beat Slovenia and the USA beat Algeria, then England and the USA go through. Top place would be decided by goal difference, England needing to win by a greater margin than the USA.

If England beat Slovenia and Algeria beat the USA, then England are top and Algeria or Slovenia are second, depending on goal difference.

If Slovenia beat England and the USA beat Algeria, then Slovenia top the group and the USA finish second.

If Slovenia beat England and Algeria beat the USA, then Slovenia top the group and Algeria finish second.

If England beat Slovenia and Algeria and the USA draw, then England top the group and Slovenia come second.

If Slovenia beat England and Algeria and the USA draw, then Slovenia top the group and the USA come second.

If Slovenia and England draw and the USA beat Algeria by two goals or more, then the USA top the group and Slovenia are second. If they beat Algeria by one goal, it depends on the number of goals scored in each game.

If Slovenia and England draw and Algeria beat the USA, then Slovenia top the group and Algeria are second.

If both games are drawn, then Slovenia top the group and the USA are second unless England draw with at least three more goals than the USA do.

If both games are drawn and England draw with two more goals than the USA do, then Slovenia top the group and the second place is decided by lot. Oh yes.
