There's something beautiful about watching soccer highlights played out by stop-motion Lego characters. It even makes a boring match such as England 0-0 Algeria look exciting. Watch the above video to see the highlights, which even includes Wayne Rooney's rant in front of the TV camera and the England fans booing.

Having England and the United States in the same World Cup group is one thing. They played each other once and life moved on. However, one item we neglected to consider is what happens on the final day of the World Cup first round matches (which begin tomorrow), and who we'll support on Wednesday when […]

As England approach their last chance to qualify for the round of sixteen, the avoidance of certain embarrassment and arguably this generation's most important make or break match, John Terry and the England squad have voiced their concerns over a beer with Fabio Capello resulting in the request to include Joe Cole (among other things) in the starting line up […]

Think back to the 2006 World Cup in Germany and the game that England played against Portugal in the quarter-final. There were many vivid moments from that match including Cristiano Ronaldo's wink, Wayne Rooney getting sent off for his stamp on Ricardo Carvalho and David Beckham exiting the game with an injury. But the one […]

We have been here before. England’s performances so far have been under scrutiny and they have been panned by blood thirsty critics and fans alike. There is a feeling among most of us that the barrage aimed at England is quite reasonable but is it entirely the players fault? End of the day, it should […]

England is one game away from being knocked out of the World Cup. And while England's supporters are still reeling from the abysmal performance against Algeria, they're now looking for excuses. They need someone to blame. What else can explain the dire performance in a game that most people (myself included) predicted they would win […]

For a number of months there has been a debate on this site about how good the English team really is. Most have claimed that this version of the Three Lions represented a golden generation of players finally coming to the pinnacle of their skills and ready to challenge for the most valued trophy […]

Before the 2010 World Cup started, who would have expected nations such as Portugal, England, France and Australia to perform so poorly in the tournament? But who, out of those four worst teams in the World Cup thus far, has been the worst? Vote below and share your opinions in the comments section below. [polldaddy […]

As the three lions bow their heads in shame and continue to yawn and whimper their way through what was supposedly the easiest group they've ever encountered, I feel the need as one of their biggest fans, at least on this site, to step up and face the music and admit my passions exist for […]

England continued their dismal 2010 World Cup performance today with a 0-0 draw against Algeria. After England's 1-1 draw last week against the United States, everyone expected England to come out guns a-blazing against Algeria. But the way they played was embarrassing. Wayne Rooney was absolutely abysmal yet again for England. And as he was […]

After an incredible draw between Slovenia and the United States, the world will now be watching England against Algeria this afternoon to see what those two teams in Group C can do. For England, it's more important than ever for them to win this match especially if the games in Group C will go down […]

What if? What if Robert Green had spilled that shot from Clint Dempsey in the World Cup, but then he managed to grab it before it crossed over the line. Watch this video to see what could have happened if things were different. It's a handy piece of revisionism that England fans would much prefer […]

Friday is a big day for readers of this blog as we prepare to watch two massive World Cup games, both of which are must win matches. USA against Slovenia kicks off at 10am ET. Followed by England versus Algeria at 2:30pm ET. And we have the added bonus of the early kick-off at 7:30am […]

So the World Cup is now a week old, every team has played at least once. It is now becoming clear whether your team was a sound bet or as dodgy as a Northern Rock balance sheet. There have already been a few surprises, and those following a minnow may have had a nice surprise. Also […]

Ladies and gentlemen, take a second and place the back of your hand on your forehead to check to see if you have a fever. I have a gut feeling you may be suffering from World Cup Fever. But if you're feeling 100% healthy, perhaps it's time to check your paid time off balance to […]
