Match Preview: England v Algeria


Green error

England face Algeria in Cape Town this evening in the second of their group stage matches. Fabio Capello's men know that three points this evening is vital, with their final game next Wednesday against current group leaders Slovenia looming. Capello's biggest decision will be whether to stick with West Ham keeper Rob Green after Saturday's mistake against the USA, or play either Hart or James.

England bossb Fabio Capello will also face tough decisions else where on the pitch.  It is believed he could be considering starting Jermaine Defoe ahead of Emile Heskey up front.

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher is expected to start for the injured Ledley King, and rumour has it that Gareth Barry will make the starting line up after shrugging off the ankle ligament damage which he picked up 6 weeks ago.

it should be Hart. It should go on merit, on who has earned it. Hart has had the best season out of him, Green and James, so Hart should be in goal. He cant seriously do any worse then James or Green anyway!

And so we are gonna Drop Green who cant catch for James who has done the same down the years and who is called calamity. Smart move that! Hart must be wondering what he has to do to play!
