The matches for USA go like so. On the 12th of June 2010 it will play England first. This will be a very tough game for USA because England has a very strong side. Some critics say that England could go ahead and win the tournament altogether.

On the same day England will be up against Algeria in Cape Town. Finally for Group C, United States will have to play against Algeria on the 23rd of June 2010.
