They didn't have Sir Wayne playing forr them setanta - oh wait a minute yes they did. Not enough confidence they could cuff the Engerlish and push forwards more and take advantage of a crap team.

There was so many openings that they didn't take advantage of. Just lost their composure in the final third.

The cross in the opening 15 mins when the bloke didn't just hit it but tried a pass back to the winger.- I blame their manager - just weren't set-up to cuff the poor team Algeria were playing.

Yeah, he should have swung a boot at it. And for the last 15 mins or so England were even more all over the place and they could have easily capitalized on it. Just didn't have it up front. Slovenia are handier in that department. It'll be very interesting to watch.
