Striker Wayne Rooney showed his frustration as he trudged off the field to the jeers of disgruntled England supporters, saying to a TV camera: "It's nice to see your own fans booing you."Captain Steven Gerrard was the first to trouble the Algerians with a cross shot that 'keeper M'bohi Rais Ouheb, prefered to Faouzi Chaouchi after their 1-0 loss to Slovenia, had to jump high to collect.
Replacement 'keeper David James got into the game on 11 minutes when he punched clear a looping cross on his goal line, not entirely convincingly but good enough to avert the danger. England couldn't get going and Algeria saw penalty of the ball. It was clear that Capello, celebrating his 64th birthday, was none too pleased, angrily pacing the dugout.James was tested again when his Portsmouth teammate Nadir Belhadj whipped in a corner under the England bar, claiming it impressively this time under pressure from two Algerians.
England finally started to wake up and Gerrard got a shot on target near the half-hour mark before Frank Lampard had a great chance, collecting the ball in the box after some nice build-up play.He unleashed a left-footed drive but the keeper saved.

Germany got to shock 0-1 from winner Serbia at World Cup
Germany got to shock from Serbia 0-1 in pulsating tie marked by a cluster of two yellow card's Klose's off to red card sending and Podolski missing a second half time penalty on Friday at FIFA World Cup 2010.
Milan first half-time goal gave Serbia victory to throw wide open with Rodomir side joining Germany Group D and after routing Australia 4-0 in the tournament’s most impressive debut on Saturday -with 3 points.
Germany striker Klose picked up the first booking of the game and then his fatal second, from Spanish referee Alberto Undiano, in the 37th minute for a tackle on Serbia captain Dejan Stankevic. Milos Krasic sent a high ball in from the right post for Nikola Zigic, the tallest player at 2m 2cm high in the World Cup, to head down for Jovanovic to flick in past keeper Manuel Neuer.
To make matters worse for Germany, Serbia goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic stopped Lukas Podolski’s penalty kick in the 60th minute.
A goal and a man down Germany had a mountain to climb to get back into the match but they almost grabbed a first half stoppage time equaliser when Sami Khedira's shot hit the crossbar. Before he was sent packing Klose thought he had come up with his 12th World Cup goal on the half hour but the linesman's flag had already been raised for offside.
Trigger-happy Undiano dished out two bookings in the space of barely a minute to Serbian duo Branislav Ivanovic and Aleksandar Kolarov. It was two cards apiece on 21 minutes as Khedira caught Undiano's attention for felling Milos Krasic, the latter a menacing threat to Germany down the right wing.
The game's eighth booking for a handball by Vidic in the box, led to Germany being awarded a penalty on the hour.Podolski stepped up but his spot kick into the left hand corner lacked inspiration and Wigan's Stojkovic comfortably saved.Jovanovic then hit the woodwork down at the other end.
Stojkovic said,''It was a difficult game, a very important game for us, this is a great victory for all of us. We have showed we are a good team and we believe in ourselves.''
