England overcame their disappointing 1st two game misfortunes as they beat Slovenia in their 3rd and final game of the Group Stage to qualify for ROUND 16.
Robert Green's mis-handling of the ball in the 2nd half of the 1st game ensured that USA also shared a point with THE THREE LIONS after Emile Heskey had given England the lead.
The Americans had fought back like wounded lions and a shot from Fulham FC's Clint Dempsey slipped out of Green's fingers.
England also failed to get the maximum points from Algeria as the two sides could only play out a goalless draw.
England qualified with 5 points as a Jermaine Defoe against Slovenia gave THREE LIONS the necessary 3-points.
