Awful England Struggle In Second Match In South Africa

England were totally out of sorts in their draw with Algeria. The North Africans ended up with 52 % of the possession and looked the better side. Whilst England’s keeper James had a quiet game the England side as a whole were a terrible disappointment.

For a team of superstars earning millions of dollars the England side were a disgrace. Particularly Wayne Rooney, who the whole country sets such store by, was diabolical.

Of the England eleven only the full backs Johnson and Cole, Jamie Carragher at centre back and keeper James come out with any credit. In fact Ashley Cole was awarded the Man of the Match Award.

The Algerians came with a plan and a point in mind and succeeded. Their three centre played extremely well and contained a lively Heskey in the first half but their job was so easy with the rest of the England attack and mid-field misfiring.

The lethargy and awful ball control must have set the English hearts back in the UK ablaze with fury. This was a typical game by the English superstars who turn it on week to week in the English Premiership but fail regularly when they put the White shirt on.

Fabio Capello the England Manager, on his birthday, was beside himself with fury for most of the game.

In a team game like soccer you can have 8 players “on their game” and have to carry two who are out of sorts. The England team today had 7 out of sorts and 4 others, Carragher, Cole, Johnson and James trying to carry the team to a victory they so desperately wanted.
