England must beat Slovenia in their final Group C match to guarantee themselves a place in the last 16 after a poor 0-0 draw with Algeria. More
90+3' All over here! Pretty forgettable stuff.
89' Mesbah comes on for Yebba for Algeria.
85' Lacen booked for Algeria and England have a corner. Lampard to take.
84' Crouch for Barry in the last five minutes.
81' Ziani departs for Adlene Guedioura. Looked like a bit of cramp.
79' Abdoun is deemed offside as he tries to trouble the England defence.
74' Djamel Abdoun replaces Boulebouz for Algeria. Jermain Defoe comes on for Heskey.
70' Barry's corner floats towards Gerrard, but his header is collected by M'Bohli on his line. Better bit of play by England.
63' Shaun Wright-Phillips replaces Lennon. Winger for winger.
62' Cole's cross into the box is headed behind by Halliche with Rooney lurking. Better by England. They have a corner, but Barry can't find a teammate.
57' England try to break out through Gerrard, but the ball is quickly returned. Carragher booked for a late one on Yebda. He will miss the game against Slovenia.
55' Gerrard suddenly free in the box after loose play by Ziani, but he can't pick out a teammate. Was a great chance for England.
46' England begin the second half.
45+1' One minute added, but there goes the half-time whistle. It has been a disappointing effort by England. Not really good enough to win this game, never mind a World Cup.
39' Rooney push on Kadir when he thought he had won a corner.
38' Lennon on a nice run. Picks out Barry. Tries his luck with his left foot from 20 yards, but straight to the Algeria keeper.
32' Lampard has a golden chance. The ball breaks to the midfielder in the box, but his shot from 15 yards is claimed by M'Bohli diving low to his left.
22' Bougherra swings a ball in for Yebda, but Barry denies him space. Great block. Had to make that.
17' Ziani's cross almost deflected past James by Carragher. A touch there could have taken that past the England keeper.
12' Rooney wins a corner. Barry floats it in for Heskey, who heads over but is penalised for fouling Bougherra.
1' Algeria get us underway in Cape Town.
70' Barry's corner floats towards Gerrard, but his header is collected by M'Bohli on his line. Better bit of play by England.

Fabio - what are you doing - Lennon nfor Wright Philips - they do the same job!
Taking off Heskey - is was the only one that playered like E£ngland meant somethign to him
Rooney - waste of time - should have put Defoe on for him not take of Heskey
This game (and similarly France and Italy) shows that playerts that get £100k per week playing for their club don't give a s**t about playing for their country. No passion, no desire. Of the teams in the world cup there are only aboput 2 England stand a chance of beating! Hondurus, Austraila. They are a joke.
Get some Cham pionship players in, at least they would be interested. PS keep Heskey.

Capello like Sven will take his £6m cheque and go home

Franz Beckenbauer just now all English Fans agree with you that English players
are Foking Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, and Rooney you go Fok yourself we dont need you anymore
you Red Moneky

rblackhurst2004 - yes i'm a villa supporter, but I am an even bigger supporter of clubs giving their local lads a chance of playing and maintaing the english footballing tradition. There teams like Everton, West Ham, etc. that have been breeding good'ol local english footballers - against the trend of foreigners.
Vasell 'died' after he left villa for Man C. That;s what a screwy team full of foreigners will do to the english.
Anyway, back to the issue - what happened to THAT tradition of producing players like Gascoigne, beardsley, platt, spink,etc., the option of having 3-5 players competing for 1 position in the national team. i remember the 1990's, when england had Tony Adams, Martin Keown, Steve Bould, Gary Pallister, Mark Wright, John Scales, Neil Ruddock etc., all vying for 2 center back position. I'm only using the CB as an example.
Now, you have players whose head are so big, because of the influx of foreigners that they know the position belongs to them and them alone in the national team. It used to be so much simpler back then. Look at John Terry, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Gerrard and even Rooney for that matter. Due to the foreign influx, there isn't anybody capable of challenging nor replacing them in the national team and they get SO OVER CONFIDENT that they fail to perform. Fact - ENGLAND 1 - USA 1. ENGLAND 0 - ALGERIA 0. Its a bloody joke.
So I am pissed that Capello refuses to call up players outside the big four teams to challenge these 'established' players for their national positions, resulting in them being over-confident and thus not performing as they should.

all our players are over rated they are a load of @#$% portsmouth would put in a better performance get rid of the whole team

we are out we wont even win the last game forget it pissed me off bunch of @#$%.s

Sick of it all
Would it be true to say you support Aston Villa?
Ashley Young is a good player but Agbonlahor and Downing no thank you very much.
Whatever happened to Vassell another Villa player

Disappointed in England but at least we are still unbeaten
Probably the worst World Cup in living memory.
The only way to improve things is to impose a quota on overseas players as the best players in England are foreign.
Too much has been made about the ball I like Robert Green a very good goalkeeper but he and other goalkeepers must take the impact of shots (along the ground) on their bodies not much you can do when the ball is in the air.
Then again we all make mistakes not a lot to choose between Green, James and Harte although Harte is one for the future.

James
Johnson Dawson Terry A.Cole
Barry
Lennon Lampard J.cole
Gerrard
Rooney
That should do it on Wednesday.
Cappello's eMail address, anyone?

No pride no compassion.Keep the wages of all players for the tournament back and share it out with the fans who have paid out big money to see that rubbish.Rooney if only you could have played as good with your feet as you did with your mouth?
Paul
