World Cup 2010: The best images from England v Algeria

Three lions on their shirts, but only two lions on their hats ... No way chaps - get back to the toy shop and sort it out! This is England we're talking about and amateurish offerings like that simply won't do. Heck, if the fans aren't properly prepared for tonight's match with Algeria, then what hope is there for the players?

Ah, now that's more like it. Safari suits, pipes, pith helmets. These bounty hunters mean business

Look at the poor woman on the left ... She probably only popped out for a pint of milk and now she's being confronted by three knights and a half-naked copper

Not that the Algerians are shying away. They've even signed up Freddie Mercury's doppelganger to lead the chants

Inside the stadium the Algerian support is growing

While England's fans are still getting their kit on. Lycra all-in-ones; always a hard look to pull off

Fabio Capello looks deep in thought. It's simple Fabio - win tonight, then beat Slovenia. That's all you need to do

Not sure what exactly Prince William is supposed to be feeling...?

Here's the man himself, next to his brother Harry. William doesn't look like he's feeling it. If anything he looks a tad worried

Perhaps he's spotted Maggie Thatcher, Prince Charles and the Queen nearby

England's players line up and look who's in goal ... see, we told you so - David James has been given the nod ahead of fumbler Robert Green. Gareth Barry, meanwhile, returns to the midfield at the expense of James Milner, and Jamie Carragher fills in for the injured Ledley King

A glum-faced Robert Green sits on the bench. Quick, someone tape his hands together so he can't come on as a sub

The game gets under way and Barry is soon sent flying by Ryad Boudebouz

Frank Lampard strikes an effort at goal for England, but has no luck

Emile Heskey leaps with his eyes closed. Little wonder, then, that he's only got seven goals in 58 international appearances

Barry screams in agony as he is felled by Karim Matmour

England's captain Steven Gerrard is next to hit the deck, but it appears the Liverpudlian was looking for a foul

Perhaps Aaron Lennon isn't the best target man for long aerial balls. Just a thought

Heskey and Yebda stumble simultaneously as the ball escapes them

Capello offers a wry smile from the touchline, but he's the only one in the stadium who can muster a grin. This is an utterly vapid encounter - bereft of incident, creativity and hope. In a World Cup which has been slated for being dull, England are hitting a new low

Heskey lies prone on the turf looking injured, or perhaps bored

Substitute Jermain Defoe attempts to find a breakthrough, but is stifled by the combined efforts of Belhadj and Madjid Bougherra

Even Wayne Rooney is off form tonight, losing out in this battle to Adlène Guedioura

Shots on target are a rarity. Here, a cross spoons into the air and lands on the roof of the net

Another England substitute, Shaun-Wright-Phillips, flops meekly when tugged by a player who's even smaller than himself

Thank heavens for that. It's over. Final score: 0-0

John Terry looks rueful as he contemplates the result

Rooney is not a happy lad either. England's fans make their feelings clear as the players trudge off and the Manchester United striker does the same, turning to a TV camera and saying 'Nice to see your own fans booing you'. Now there's only one group game left - against Slovenia - which England must win to guarantee themselves a place in the last 16
