No England vs Algeria thread?
Was looking for the England vs Algeria thread on here but couldn't find it. Well, let's discuss it here. Apologies if it has already been created but I couldn't find it.

COME ON Algeria.

so James starts

Yeah. The way Fabio kept going on and on about Rob Green's 'mistake', I knew he would drop him.

Does he start too

At this rate England will soon run out of Goal Keepers

Because David James is better than Oliver Khan ever was on his good day but yet as useless as Seaman could be on his bad day.

David James is surely gaffe prone with good balls and I believe he is bound to make his own mistake.

@Dayo, he's a sub.
@Mike, not that they had any before.

England are not looking convincing

Am not surprised by capello's decision.

What do you expect from a man that stripped terry his captaincy just because he had extra marital affairs and he went ahead to say as long as he is coach, terry can never captain england.

The guy is obviously tough and unforgiving. He may never allow green man the goal post ever again.

hesky!!!

As useless as ever.

see jazz for Algeria goal post

I really found that hoopla curious too, why is Terry's private life the Nation's business?

David James is not looking any better.

There's a bird perched on Algeria's goal post. The commentators are saying that a goal should chase it away. LOL

some people thought this was gonna be a walk in the park for England. hehe

You will never outclass Algeria if you play kick and run football

Because they also thrive in that.

Exactly. England cannot play together as a team. they lack the ability to keep possession and play opponents off the park

is it me or the match is so boring?

England is one of the most overated teams in the world. At times i wonder why they're always among the top 10 teams on the FIFA list.

It wouldn't have been Capello's (and the nation's) business, was Bridge not a player in a team where Terry was the captain and the leader where he ought to set a good example and unite the team

Anyway, i hope they loose so that the US can qualify.

Algeria is playing very much like the team that defeated Egypt. Giving England a run for their money

Does Rooney want to tear that guys shirt?

They are just like french team of recent times. great on paper but piss poor on the pitch

Even the commentators are sounding frustrated

This match is proving tougher than they thought.

who else thinks if England play a football match against Bostwanna they will still not control possession?

For once we can hear some of the fans English singing above the vivuzelas.

It's laughable to think they are one of the pre tournament favourites. currently being outplayed by an average team like algeria

This is the first Algeria match I will be watching and I must confess they have impressed so far.

I really dont like Heskey in that team

Pre-tournament favourites according to the British press you mean.

haha, my sentiments exactly.

Exciting match so far, Algeria looking quite impressive.
I wonder why they keep starting Heskey??
