Excitement in both matches as Clint Dempsey bangs in a goal for the U.S. only to be ruled offside. It was a good call, close but good.

In Port Elizabeth, Jermain Defoe has given England the lead in the 23rd minute, knocking in a cross from James Milner. If the score holds up and the Three Lions win, they will join Slovenia with four points. The U.S. has two points, and the clock is running.
