Jun 23rd
Algeria started the game with a fighting spirit and was unlucky not to get a goal in the first half of FIFA world cup in South Africa.
USA got a late chance in the second minute of the stoppage time when Donovan struck the goal.
Final score Algeria 0- USA 1. With this win USA and England advance to the round of 16.
Soccer: Its not over until its over
Jan 24th
When Cote De Ivory scored their second goal at 89 minute everyone in the room thought Algeria lost their quarterfinal match of the African Cup of Nations 2010. But wait a moment the players in the ground did not lose their spirit and made a stunning come back by scoring an equalizer in the second minute of the overage time. This shows the fighting spirit of this team and their courage never to give up until the final whistle.
Well done Algeria.
1 2 3 viva le Algerie.

PARIS – FIFA has awarded Wednesday Spain as the team of the year, with 15 victories in 16 games in 2009, while Algeria and Brazil have the highest increase over the previous year with a gain of 322 points each in the Fifa rankings.
This is the second consecutive year that Spain won this distinction. The only defeat of Spain in 2009 was in the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup this summer against the United States. Spain tops FIFA’s latest rankings released in November.
Algeria, qualified for the World Cup 24 years after her last participation, achieves the rank of its history, winning 38 seats to climb to 26th place. Brazil, however, is in second place behind Spain.
