I think Slovenia are in better position than the USA as they have secured full three points in their previous match against Algeria. If they can make an upset against the USA or England anyhow they will ensure their second round. But having made a draw with England in their first match, the USA is on the verge of danger. As a favorite team they have to be more conscious than Slovenia. In the previous game they were not active in the first half but after a lucky goal they completely changed and started to play convincingly. But their defense must be appreciated. Clint Dempsey after scoring the only goal is now on spot light. On the other hand Robert Koren the scorer of Slovenia also holds the main aspiration.
