on how long into the England v Algeria game it is before the commentator says something along time lnes of 'this is the biggest night in Algerian football history' or 'this is the biggest night in some of these Algerian players lives' i'll go for 32 seconds.

im sure the Algerian v Egypt games mean a lot more to most of their players anyway.

Surely not, what could be more important to anyone than being lucky enough to be playing the mighty England? WHo remembers Euro 2004 qualifiers when England played Turkey in Turkey needing a point to qualify and the commentator described it as 'the biggest night in Turkish football' despite it being only 18 months since they played in the world cup semi final against Brazil. obviously England needing a draw in Istanbul is far more important to your average Turk.
