Diary
Tuesday,
1 June 2010 - Slovenia named their 23-man World Cup squad and there were
no surprises. The three players omitted from coach Matjaz Kek's final
party were defender Dejan Kelhar and midfielders Mirnes Sisic and Darijan Matic.
Influential midfielder Robert Koren, who has been released by West Bromwich
Albion, is expected to be captain.
Sunday,
13 June 2010 - Slovenia win their opening World Cup match after beating
Algeria 1-0 with a goal from captain Robert Koren. Its a victory that
sends Slovenia to the top of Group C.
Friday, 18 June
2010 - Despite leading against the United States, Slovenia can only draw their
second match 2-2.
Saturday,
19 June 2010 - Nejc Pecnik will miss the rest of the World Cup after
breaking his right ankle in Friday's 2-2 draw against the United States.
The 24-year-old, whose goal sealed Slovenia's qualifying play-off win over
Russia, suffered the injury in a collision with Clint Dempsey.
Pecnik had only come on as a second-half substitute for Zlatan Ljubijankic.
He will now miss Wednesday's game with England, where a draw would be enough to
put Slovenia in the second round. Although he was only on the pitch
briefly, Pecnik was involved in one of the most significant incidents of the
game against the US. Having come from 2-0 down, the Americans thought they
had taken a dramatic late lead when Maurice Edu put the ball in the net with
five minutes remaining, only to see the goal ruled out. Although the American
players claim that the referee ignored their requests for an explanation,
television pictures suggested that US captain Carlos Bocanegra had his hands
round Pecnik, preventing him from jumping for the ball.
