Ah, Group C... home of the yanks. It probably goes without saying that I'm making these picks with my heart and not my head, but here goes:
England vs. USA (6/12) - Draw
Algeria vs. Slovenia (6/13) - Slovenia
Slovenia vs. USA (6/18) - USA
England vs. Algeria (6/18) - England
Slovenia vs. England (6/23) - England
Algeria vs. USA (6/23) - USA
1st Place: England 2nd Place: USA
Rationale: This actually isn't that crazy. The US getting the draw against England is optimism on my part, but a fourth to a third of all group games end in draws, so why not us? Slovenia has some goal scoring ability and Algeria showed a lot of pluck in qualifying, but unless the US or England or both have a very disappointing campaign, they should be the ones to make the first knockout round.
