After this morning’s game we’re throwing all our support to the Desert Foxes. England have replaced Green with James between the sticks, which apparently is a better choice. Let’s not forget his nickname is Calamity James…

England are heavy favorites, but Algeria did knock out two-time defending African Cup winners Egypt to qualify for this cup. There’s a chance, especially if Gerrard and Lampard continue to trip over each other in the center of England’s attack.

All the vitriol after the bump!
