Johnson: We're Looking Forward

Glen Johnson insists England's focus has already turned to Friday's clash with Algeria following the disappointment of their 1-1 draw with USA.

Steven Gerrard's early strike appeared to set Fabio Capello's men on their way to the perfect start in South Africa, but Clint Dempsey's leveller - aided by Robert Green - salvaged a point for the Americans.

Slovenia's victory over Algeria means they lead Group C going into the second round of games, but Johnson believes there were enough positives to take from England's display in Rusetnburg to signal a change in fortunes as the tournament progresses.

"It's disappointing we didn't win the game but the lads are quite happy with the performance and we look forward to the next game," said the Liverpool defender.

"The manager said he was happy with the performance and felt we were unlucky not to win the game," he added.

"The Algeria game is the most important now and we'll worry about that first and see what happens."
