World Cup Diary Day 8: No comment
By Jemma Tappenden
June 19 2010
I've aptly named today's diary entry as 'no comment'. Afterall, what is there to say? England's 0-0 draw with Algeria leaves qualification through the group stages very much hanging in the balance. The German's undoubtedly have 'no comment' to make after their 1-0 downfall to Serbia, and the USA also finished all square with Slovenia, although at least in that game there were goals aplenty.
