England Vs Algeria 2nd World cup Match

What a hopeless performance from England in the second world cup performance it was. I feel like it was just the hype created by British media because of which the expectation of the people is so high that its is hard to accept the lose of English to a team like Algeria. Its not that Algeria is a useless team but compare to the British at this point of time anybody can say that English team is the better one. We cant say its bad luck for English if so when is this bad luck finishes? After the world cup?!!!!!.

Roony the biggest expectation of the country and the hero of Pundith’s was missing in action for the last 2 games for England!!!. Every time ball goes to him it was easy for the opposite team to get the ball back !!!. In the match against Algeria if not Gareth Barry, Games David, Jamies Carragher in action England would have lost 4-1!!.

It was sad to see drawing with USA not as a rivalry or don’t like USA but its just as again the experience of the English side and the big names (now just left as names!!!) USA was easy win. Pundiths hyped the game and expected to be 4-0. I would be happy for a win at the end that’s all matters me. Robert Green became a villain over night, but I felt it was wrong to bump the weakness of the stickers on a poor guy like him except Gerrard all the players including Roony were in a deep sleep stage. I felt they haven’t got a hang of the world cup.

Second match it looked like England playing with only 4 or 5 people! Algerian players steeling the ball from the English players like they are not there at all!! They were frustrated English players from the beginning. It was so sad to see the ball was stolen under the nose of the giant players of club football like Roony, Gerrard, Cole, Terry, Lampard!!!

What is next? English team need to sit together and see the game videos of the 2 matches repeatedly and see where they went wrong before facing Slovenia. Otherwise England may slip off to the 3rd place easily! They need to learn the lesson to go some distance in the world cup finals to save the face.
