South Africa 2010 World Cup – Algeria’s 11 – Open Thread
Comments(11)
Algeria is back but as the 2010 Angola African Cup of Nations mitigated results showed, there is still work to do. Maybe, new players should be given a chance.
This is an open thread to discuss the best 11 for Algeria.
In the Algerian media there are talks of new players to join the national team: Mehdi Lacen (again…), Rafik Djebbour (returning) and Walid Cherfa (Tarragona, Spain).
Ziaya and Laifaoui could be replaced…Mehdi Lacen has yet to confirm as he feels he might not be welcome by his teammates for refusing to join earlier.
Saadane might decide to call any of the following players too: Mohamed Meftah (JS Kabylie), Bouzid (Hibernian, Scotland), Carl Medjani (Ajaccio, France), Soltani (Den Haag, Netherlands), Benyamina (Berlin Union, Germany), Amri Chadli (Mayence,Germany), Boudebouz (Sochaux), Feghouli (Grenoble)…
What do you say?
NB: I know the list is not perfect so I apologise in advance for not including more players in the list. Thank you for your understanding.

Nigeria Vs Algeria – Super Eagles Have the Edge Over Less Inspired Desert Foxes
Comments(13)
It seems the Desert Foxes lost a bit of their motivation on the pitch. A difficult task to be motivated in a competition where a referee, already known for controversial decisions, can sabotage your progress. Having lost their cool in the previous match, several Algerian heavy weights, Halliche, Belhadj and Chaouchi, were excluded thus leaving a diminished Algerian team ... [read more]

Well, the match did not go according to plan last night to say the least. The match or the Egyptian comedy show should I say, started slowly. Throughout the match, the Egyptian players started to play act in order to get the Algerian players booked or sent off. Starting the show was Motaab, after just two minutes in ... [read more]
