The draw between Slovenia and the United States should have given England the ideal platform from which to snatch control of this group. Instead, they produced one of their worst performances of any World Cup. Wayne Rooney, who has not scored since Manchester United's elimination from the Champions League in March, looked lost and clashed angrily with England supporters who booed their team off at the final whistle. 

Had Algeria shown more adventure or even fielded a specialist striker, they might actually have won this game and now England have to beat Slovenia in their final match to qualify from what seemed like a very straightforward group.
