A housemate of mine is half-Algerian and so I would've bet a hefty amount of money on Algeria ending up in the same group as England. Just had a funny feeling.
I think we should probably win our group, but I agree with the general sentiment that people do underrate the USA in this country. Certainly there were other teams in that pot I would've preferred to the Americans. Mostly, however, I just can't wait to get started. Why must we wait another six months?
