Gonzalez picks up a yellow for a tackle on Schweinsteiger.
That means that Beckerman, the US' defensive midfielder, and one of the two US centerbacks have yellows in the opening 35 minutes. That's not a good thing for the already under siege US defense. -

If Algeria hold on for this point - will be first time ever that two African teams make the second round of the World Cup.by Simon Evans via twitter 6/26/2014 9:40:41 PM -
The last day of this group has been somewhat interesting, but really other than that it has been uneventful. Belgium, supposed darkhorses to win the World Cup, have been unable to score many goals despite a talented team. Russia have been dull. South Korea have lacked an ingenuity or skill. But for Algeria, this looked like a group where no one wanted to win (or lose) a game.

Russia had a stinker of a tournament. Reuters David Ljunggren has the post-mortem of a performance that will infuriate manager Fabio Capello:Capello's men pressed forward and although they occasionally looked dangerous, their lack of technical skills foiled them time and again.At key moments passes went astray, corners were thumped right across the area and out of play while free kicks either sailed wide or landed in the arms of the goalkeeper.Even the simplest tasks seemed beyond the Russian players.With 10 minutes to go Kozlov took a throw-in so far from the correct spot that the referee awarded it to Algeria.Capello, criticised for not making more use of attacking midfielder Alan Dzagoev, brought him on with 25 minutes to play but he failed to shine above the mediocrity.Russia's underperformance will infuriate Capello, who knows his side blew a good chance against an Algerian team that often looked out of sorts
