Algeria will play against Slovenia on 13/06 13:30 in Polokwane

This coming summer, Algeria will be a part of the third World cup in their history. Their main thrust is to make improvement. In 1982 and 1986 the Fennecs was able to qualify consecutively, but after the first round just left. But, these were honorable journeys. In Spain ‘82, Algeria shocked everyone when it beat West Germany 2-1. It was a memorable success thanks to the goals of Belloumi and Madjer. Then a controversy followed, the Germans went on to face Austria, and with Algeria having met Chile in the group stage, it was academic that a 1-0 or 2-0 win to Germany would see both the neighbors and Mannschaft through. It turned out that the score was 1-0 and West Germany won in a game that looked like a no contest. Even fans of both teams involved were dismayed and Algeria had to go home. After four years in Mexico, Algeria struggled. Bothered by internal difference, they managed to get only a point from a possible six, thanks to a simple draw versus Northern Ireland.

Algeria’s journey to the finals was maybe the hardest and longest of all, but Saadane’s team made it successfully. The Greens began with difficulty; they lost two games out of a possible three. On the firstround against Senegal (0-1) and Gambia (0-1), but made it to the second round . The Algerians were within reach of the qualifying, but Egypt scored a goal that forced Sudan a play-off. Here Antar Yahia made the only goal of the game, dropping a whole nation in an unspeakable frenzy and left a lot of bad feelings between Algerians and Egyptians.

If Algeria has succeeded in returning into the world scene, it is thanks to the sparkle and the discipline of their young squad. Previously, the Fennecs were often loose because of their lack of consistency and professionalism, but this time things are different. Ad the time of the qualifications, their extent of transformation is notable. They became homogenous and more solid and interdependent. The champions of the continent which are the Egyptians can testify to that. Algeria wins and looses as a professional team.

The team’s weakness is traveling. Since 2003, Algeria has only won two games away from home. Even if the World cup is played on neutral ground, they must get rid of the complex that makes them struggle when their plane leaves the ground. Another thing is that they have no true striker. Ghezzal had not peaked yet while Djebbour is not seen to be world class and Saifi is getting old. This problem should be addressed by coach Saadane quickly if he wants a team presentable representation of the Arab world in the World Cup.

Venue: Rustenburg

England will play against USA on 12/06 20:30 in Rustenburg

Not much of a review for the year 2009 as far as World Cup. The only thing that could be said is that the 2009 season was a brilliant year for the England fans, especially if you compare it to 2008. This England team also has certain weaknesses like the injured Glen Johnson with his knee that is weakness in the right back. But it is still a thrill that the team has a plan. Wayne Rooney looks great wearing an England shirt, Lampard and Gerrard can team up and there are lots of options down the wing. Massive thumbs up for Fabio Capello and a superb World Cup qualifying campaign and no doubt a great highlight. We’re all hoping 2010 is just as inspiring and that we put in a good showing at a certain little tournament in South Africa.

Everybody knows that England’s positional problem is goalkeeper. The left-sided problem was solved by Fabio Capello’s brain and Steven Gerrard/Wayne Rooney’s readiness to substitute. But a goalkeeper’s position is not a job you can solve with tactical tinkering. You either have a good keeper or you don’t.

David James is the most promising when he’s fit but it is rare these days. Robert Green is okay but discreet and has leaked some goals at West Ham. Ben Foster’s confidence is not that high while playing for Manchester United. Joe Hart has chances of playing on the World Cup. Alex McLeish backs in place of Joe for England World Cup. Alex McLeish Birmingham boss believes goalkeeper Joe Hart is in contention for England’s 2010 World Cup squad.

The 22-year-old, on a loan deal for the long season from Manchester City, has kept the sheets clean to help shoot Blues to seventh in the Premier League.

And with Fabio Capello England manager still uncertain about his first-choice keeper for South Africa, McLeish thinks Hart is among the leading candidates.

McLeish said that he knows that Fabio Capello and his staff find him favorable.

He already has an edge and his performances lately have shown he can be a candidate. He has a brilliant form and he is looking big and powerful right now.

He has improved a lot since he came to us. He may have had it before but we managed to bring out the potential. Joe has as great chance as anybody else to be part of the England squad. Last June 2008, Hart earned a cap England for his name, with a 3-0 debut win over Trinidad and Tobago. He has already played in some of Capello’s teams but not in any of England’s World Cup qualification or friendly matches other than the friendly in Port-of-Spain.

FIFA World Cup 2010

Venue: Johannesburg - JEP

Argentina will play against Nigeria on 12/06 16:00 in Johannesburg – JEP

This is a brief history of how Argentina played in this event. After a victory against Brazil in the semis, Sergio Batista’s squad must work together one more time to claim the title, and the heartbreaking loss from the 1996 Olympic Final against Nigeria. Following is the Argentina World Cup, a great game of football that ended in victory for Argentina.

The first half after the great attack and defense ended up with a draw, no one was able to produce a single point. And thankfully that half has finished. The heat seems to take its toll on Argentina, who is just not getting its act together. Both Messi and Riquelme are just not getting in the game and the defense is not up to par with Nigeria. With a lot of time left and this type of game keeps up, one mistake could spell the difference between gold and silver.

On the second half, on the 57 minute Di Maria, the best player for Argentina today, chips Messi’s pass over the keeper’s head and scores a goal, 1-0, from 50 yards out. Only time can tell if Argentina can keep their head in the game as Nigeria tries to equalize. Argentina has come to life and is in control of the game. The game has become much better and the attack is beginning to happen. Nigeria are now attacking Argentina’s defense. Messi had a space to run at goal but he is just off. The game ends and Argentina 1 – 0 Nigeria.

After a few scares in the final seconds the whistle blows and Argentina won the Olympic gold medal defeating a very strong Nigeria team to take revenge on their 96 final loss and retain the title that they won 4 years ago in Athens. While not the best display from Argentina. After a weak showing in the first half, Argentina put its act together and just at the right time to earn a well deserved victory.

The God of Soccer is truly in the side of Nigerian or else how can you explain the reversal of future that Super Eagles had? Against all possible odds, Nigeria has qualified today for the 2010 World Cup to be hosted by South Africa next year. It happened when they defeated Kenya 3-2 in Kenya and Tunisia by a lone goal that paved the way for Nigeria’s berth in the world’s biggest soccer fiesta. Obafemi Martins was instrumental for Nigeria’s all important lead when he acrobatically pounced on a loose ball in the box to score from a 2-2 tie
