Watch Live Match USA vs Slovenia

Group C tabletoppers Slovenia are going to have to battle to the last minute if they are to overcome the United States in Friday's World Cup clash and progress to the second round said US goalkeeper Tim Howard.

Slovenia are top of the group after an opening 1-0 triumph over Algeria while the USA held England to a 1-1 draw last Saturday.

A Slovenian victory over the Americans at Ellis Park will send them into the last 16 and Komac was in bullish mood on the eve of the game when he declared: "We are going to win this match".

Howard, who has shaken off a rib injury from the England game to take his place in the US goal, said the Slovenian needs to back up his words.Slovenia captain Robert Koren, who scored the winner against Algeria, says he is relishing the chance to take on the United States with a place in the knock-out phase at stake and has seen nothing to fear from the Americans.
