Algerian boss vows to attack...

Algeria boss Rabah Saadan is hoping his team can emulate the performance of Switzerland when they face England on Friday.
Saadane will encourage his team to concentrate on their game plan but says the Algerians have received a bit of a confident boost after seeing Ottmar Hitzfeld's team beat Spain on Wednesday.
"I hope so," he said. "If it's possible I'd like that very much.
"Obviously this is something trainers watch very closely, so there is lots to be learned from each match. But everybody plays with their own means, each team is different.
"I think it will be an important match for both teams. I think we'll see a good match, it's the World Cup so undoubtedly it will be a fine spectacle and that's the interest of the tournament.
"I have a lot of respect for Mr Capello and the England team. We don't have any questions to ask and we're looking forward to the match.
"We've seen how they play, let me say again that we have no complexes [about being under-estimated], we will play as well as we can to produce a good performance and a good match."
Saadane also vowed not to set his team up to be ultra-defensive.
He said: "I don't think we'll play like North Korea against Brazil or Switzerland against Spain, we'll play differently because we have different human components and we play according to our possibilities."
With England expected to win the game, the Algeria boss hopes the weight of expectation on the Three Lions can play into his side’s hands.
"England have their backs to the wall," he continued. "We have nothing to lose and everything to win."
