England v Algeria: England fans are in confident mood as they descend on the magnificent Cape Town Stadium for their second Group C game against Algeria
But despite defeat in their opening game against Slovenia, Algeria's fans are also in upbeat mood, perhaps heartened by recent shock results in South Africa involving heavyweights Germany, France and Spain
As reported earlier in the day, England coach Fabio Capello drops Rob Green after his mistake against USA and brings in David James for a World Cup debut at the age of 39
England's fans are joined by two famous faces as Princes Harry and William take their seats in Cape Town Stadium. William predicts a 3-0 win for England, while Harry says he will take a 1-0
Gareth Barry is also back in the England team, protecting a defence including Liverpool's Jamie Carragher, but England make a nervy start, and Algeria edge the opening 20 minutes
Capello's bellowed instructions can be heard above even the vuvuzelas as England toil, although there are signs of life as Frank Lampard's low shot is well saved by Algeria keeper Rais M Bolhi
It's another frustrating evening for striker Wayne Rooney as England and Algeria head in at half-time with the score goalless
As the clock ticks towards full-time and the score remains goalless, Capello brings on Jermain Defoe to partner Rooney, while Shaun Wright-Phillips replaces Aaron Lennon
Algeria keeper Bolhi is winning his second cap at the age of 24 but, but England fail to test him, Emile Heskey's deflected cross a rare moment of concern
The final whistle goes and England fans make their feelings known by booing a lacklustre effort by their team in Cape Town
By contrast, Algeria's players are given a great reception by their fans, jubilant at gaining their first point at in South Africa, ending a run of three straight World Cup defeats
England must hope they can beat Slovenia in their final group game in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday, or their World Cup will almost certainly be over
