Well England fans, at least you didn't lose like France, Spain, or even Germany today.

But the performance was so dreadful today, that I will let the British press sum it up for me.

And Rooney's anger was just awesome to see:


Man of the match, hahahahaha. He stuffed this ballot???

Lineup:

Algeria: Mbolhi, Bougherra, Belhadj, Yahia, Halliche, Boudebouz, Lacen, Matmour, Ziani, Yebda, Kadir

England: James, Johnson, A Cole, Gerrard, Terry, Lennon, Lampard, Rooney, Barry, Carragher, Heskey

The coverage in a second, but this is going to be a beatdown: Eng 4, Algeria 0

1st Half Analysis:
What, even though credit to Algeria, what a pathetic 1st half from England there. Lampard was poor, Gerrard was poor, Lennon was poor, and Rooney barely started to arrive in the game.

It's Capello's birthday, but he has gotten a nightmare more than a perfect gift so far.
