I wish England played like that.

They did it in the first game and generally the best way for a huge underdog to prevail is defending hard and hoping for a stroke of luck on counterattacks. And they do have a decent defense. In a different weather pressing hard in the midfield might work, but in these games it's also somewhat of a suicidal strategy, unless you think you can score a couple early on.
Admittedly Algeria has shown defense is not the only thing they can do. They've actually been one of the (many) pleasant surprises in this tournament, and it would not shock me at all if they tried to be active, despite the risks.
WHOA SUPER EAGLES STRIKE FIRST!
Offside, dammit.
