England v Algeria

Not going to do it England

this is the difference between the rugby WC and the football - sooo much more even 

Great stuff. The upsets just keep on coming...

same old England

That was an even worse performance than in the USA game. England have gone backwards.

If Slovenia hold them they're gone 

The Algerian coach said that they played for Algeria, the Arab world and for Africa.... 


I was much amused by the Sky commentator calling the Algerian keeper Bolhi as his name is M'Bolhi ... What next... Steven Errard??

Awful performance, a squad that looks clueless and out of shape. Terrible when you think Carra was probably the best player for England covering his position and Johnson's.

I knew our squad was poor, but friggin hell.

i should of stayed in bed.

"should of"?

Frustrating game. Their centrebacks were solid.

what a sh*t game, rooney was dreadful, as were most others

Two sides played today. ?????? played to a firm plan and stuck to it.

I liked this ?????? it's Tamazight for Algeria.   Isn't the interweb a great thing?

Just comes up as a bunch of numbers in small boxes on my computer.

Have a look here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algeria might be able to see it. 

That's because the Algerians were so rubbish they couldn't get anywhere near the goal.

 Carra - great player in his day, never had pace, but did "ok" today, because he had to cover Johnson, but he's about 2 years past his best.

You should in no way have two players like Terry and Carra as a pair. Poor getting the ball out, both slow Terry overrated sh*te.

Anyone who knows what a goal looks like and has pace will kill us. I'm HOPING we have just forgotten how to play football against anyone outside Europe, "frustrating" is not the word we were f*cking awful.

If we go out I won't be that upset as the squad is very poor anyhows. Would Heskey get anywhere near an England team if they had a Shearer or a Lineker in the Squad? Would SWP or Lennon? James, Green if Clemence or Shilton were around? The players are terrible.

Probably the worst squad that we have had since Taylor in charge, but at least they gave a sh*t.

Drop Lampard, shift Gerrard up with Rooney,  bring Milner in and for chrissake get Joe Cole on the park

Glad I didn't see this game, England is underperforming like Italy, and France. I can see why the English, Australians and some others are rooting for the All Whites at the moment since their own teams are so disfunctional.

Upsets results against to England, France, Italy, Germany and Spain are such a LOL this tournament. Crikey, these countries have the five top-rated football leagues in the world. Their league rating might drop down a tad after this tournament, if any don't get to the quarter finals.

Does this mean that football has truly become more global at the top than ever?

I reckon so, and have thought so for a few years now. It used to be between half a dozen teams in Europe and two from South America, now anyone has a chance of turning over another team, that's why I think the English press have shown how foolish they were in suggesting the NZ squad was the worst in the finals for years.

Blimey. The AWs would have had a sniff of a result against that bunch of turnips

I've recorded this game and I already know the result. Is it worth watching? Yes or no answers only, please.

yes just to show how bad england can be

yes, good 4 a laff

No, one of the worst games of the tournament so far. Only worth watching if you enjoy seeing England suffer.

lol

No way - we play at 1/3 the pace.

lol

Fuck
All,
Ingerland
Losers.

Well, final standings could be:

Algeria
Rebels from the colonies
Slovenia
England

I thought England looked ponderous and laboured vs the USA, but I think the word I need for this game is "limited". I think they created one chance inside the box, and Algeria restricted them to almost nothing but long shots from outside the penalty area. Don't recall Algeria creating anything at all.

People complain about Tony Lochhead but I was amazed how many unforced errors Glen Johnson made at right back. Terrible game in a typically awful England WC performance.
