Algeria vs Slovenia

Algeria are experiencing a poor run of form. In the build-up to their 2010 FIFA World Cup campaign, the North Africans suffered a 3-0 defeat to La-Main-de-Thierry-Henri victims the Republic of Ireland. In their final friendly match, they could only beat the UAE 1-0. Algeria haven’t been playing the type of football characterized with passion which fired them into the finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The pressure is now on for Rabah Saadane’s men to do what they have to do: to win their opening World Cup encounter against Europe’s minnows, Slovenia. The Slovenes are now famous for their historic play-off triumph over Russia which gave them tickets to embrace the promise land in the south of the African continent. Algeria should be aware of the hidden potential of this European nation.

Certainly, Les Fennecs aren’t taken anything for granted and Antar Yahia, who plays the role of Algeria’s captain since the real captain Yazid Mansouri has lost the coach’s favor to start games, declared ahead of Sunday’s crucial World Cup match:

“My appointment as captain? Well, it’s always a great pride. I’m fully aware of the task ahead.”

Antar Yahia’s first mission will be to lead his team to victory against Slovenia at the Peter Mokaba Stadium. The skipper became his nation’s hero with his winning goal against Egypt which put Algeria through to the 19th edition of the FIFA World Cup. What more can he do come Sunday?
