26th: ALGERIA
They certainly made their mark, worrying all England fans to distraction after we failed to score against them in a very disappointing nil-niller. Algeria didn't really have any stand-out players, but like most international teams these days, they were well organised and difficult to break down. However, they'll realise that it's very difficult to progress in a tournament if you don't score any goals. And the Algerians certainly drew a blank, if not the crowds, with their style of play.
