Algerias
troubled times are not over yet. Anyway they have accomplished to qualify
for the finals. Algerias achievements all stem from the 1980-1990 period.
Since then there has been a decline in Algerian football that has went
parallel to the countries inner problems. Also massive adminstration problems
in football are still taking place and even the coaching situation is constantly
changing.
Many wish them an
emotianal boost as Algerian football cannot be as bad as it has recently
performed. In the qualification they had some partly good but unlucky performances
against Tunisia, when they played a good looking game but failed to convert
that into goals. In the end they have been lucky they have qualified.
Drawn into a group
which three other Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde candidates their fate is quite
unpredictable. Favorites to advance they are not.
