It's all about desire for the footballers. The effort put in to these games seems to be inversely proportional to the financial rewards gained. The England team, undoubtedly better drilled, fitter and more skillful, not to mention infinitely wealthier, than their Algerian opposition, clearly thought that it was 'only Algeria', and figured it would be a lot easier than it actually was.
All credit must go to the Algerians, as they ran their socks off, especially into the dying minutes, where England seemed to be coasting around the park, assuming the goals would come. They didn't, and a 0-0 draw was all they deserved.
In fact, if it went down to effort, Algeria should have won.
Cheers,
Rucker.
