The USA hopes they can have a repeat of their huge shock in 1950 when they beat England, who were the heavy favorites to win the World Cup. USA is good and in playing in the easiest group. England has a ton of pressure on them in this World Cup, as they have a solid team, like they usually do, but they have not advanced past the quarterfinals since 1990. They recently took a big hit to their defense, as Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand hurt his knee in training and will not be playing in South Africa.

The USA has pressure on them as well, but not as much. Besides England they are in Group C along with Slovenia and Algeria. USA can make it out of this group and should do so, as it will be a disappointment if they do not progress to the knockout phase. They can get off to a great start by beating heavily favored England in this match on Saturday afternoon ET time, but even a draw would be a solid start for the Americans to the start of the 2010 FIFA World Cup action.
