Algeria's national team frustrated England's ambitions by holding to a scoreless draw in the teams' second game in Group C of the 2010 World Cup.

Even though the English dominated much of the game, the Algerian team managed to foil their attacks in the late match in Cape Town on Friday.

After the USA and Slovenia also drew the other Group C match (2:2), the Slovenians are in the lead with 4 points followed by the USA and England with 2, and Algeria with 1.

Theoretically, each of the four teams stand a chance of qualifying for the Group of 16 before the third round of matches when Slovenia will face England, and Algeria will play against the USA.
