Algeria 0 – England 0: Desert Warriors topple the English emperors

Algeria 's team realised a great achievement , as awoeful England team failed to find the killer touch in a disappointing 0-0 draw with Algeria, putting them under huge pressure to beat Slovenia in their final World Cup Group C game.

• Algerian Desert Warriors showed a good performence and were able to realise a historical win over the English team which was shocked and weak. As it was expected changes by the coach Rabah Saadane who placed Boudebbouz as a striker, side to side with Karim Matmour, as well as Meboulhi who replaced goalkeeper Faouzi Chaouchi, and was strong in the face of Rooney’s teamamtes.     

• Fabio Capello’s team, already under the cosh after their much-criticised 1-1 opener against the United States, struggled to find any rhythm and gave the ball away far too easily, doing little to silence their detractors.

• It was a poor performance from Capello’s team with players looking tired and devoid of spark and captain Steven Gerrard made no excuses.

• Algerian midfielder Ryad Boudebouz said England had been complacent – and said his side were capable of beating the Americans.

•  “We are pleased with the draw as the English underestimated us in the media over recent days,” he said.

  “We were determined to show them we were not just here for the ride and that we have a decent team.

  “Now we have to play the United States and if we know if we play like we did tonight we can beat them.”

  England couldn’t get going and Algeria saw plenty of the ball.

  It was clear that Capello, celebrating his 64th birthday, was none too pleased, angrily pacing the dugout

  In a last role of the dice, Capello brought on Shaun Wright-Philipps for Aaron Lennon, Jermain Defoe for Heskey and Peter Crouch for Barry, but despite picking up the pace the breakthrough remained elusive.

•  After the Half time things did not change, especially at the begining as Algeria’s team continued high pressure on David James zone, who lived hard moments, while Rooney and his teamates failed to find a sollution before a strong Algerian Defense by the magic Bougherra Madjid. At the mast moments of the match Algeria’s team noticed some pressure and Desert Warriors likely ended the match with a good achievement.
