Doing the math so you don't have to

Next Wednesday in the World Cup, the US plays Algeria, and England plays Slovenia. The US will advance to the next round iff any of the following happen:
  • USA wins
  • USA/Algeria tie, and Slovenia wins
  • Both games tie, and the tied score of the USA/Algeria game is greater than, equal to, or 1 less than the tied score of the England/Slovenia game
  • Both games tie, the tied score of the USA/Algeria game is 2 less than the tied score of the England/Slovenia game, and USA wins a coin toss with England
