Algeria were beaten 1-0 by Slovenia in their World Cup opener and the Fennecs can't afford to slip up against England on Friday if they are to survive the group stage. Midfielder Adlane Guedioura has made it clear that Algeria are ready for the match against the Three Lions.

"I think we played well against Slovenia, but unfortunately the result didn't go our way. We've now got two big matches ahead of us and we need to give it everything we've got to get good results against England and USA," said Guedioura to FIFA's official website.

"I think England have a number of great players and a fantastic coach but we'll give it our all on Friday. Out on the pitch it comes down to 11 versus 11, so we'll go out and play without thinking of the permutations and the expectations on us. We fully intend to be positive and play without fear.

"It's a great honour to play at the World Cup, as you know there are hundreds of children around the world watching the World Cup and they all want to be here. We're very privileged to be here and it's a great honour to be part of this world event."
