| Posted: 24 Jun 2010 07:42 AM PDT Archived News England's Group C opponents Algeria, managed to scrape a 1-0 win over the UAE in their latest warm-up game. The narrow win comes after Algeria were beaten 3-0 against Ireland in their previous friendly, as they look to prepare for this summer's World Cup, during which football betting pundits don't expect them to progress too far. After four successive defeats, the victory will give the Algerians a much needed confidence boost as they set off for South Africa. Another reason for Algerian confidence was the return of centre-back Madjid Bougherra, the Rangers defender missed the Ireland game with a calf injury but looks as though he will be fit to face Slovenia in his country's opening match. Algeria qualified for their third World Cup after a play-off victory over rivals Egypt. After both teams finished dead level in their qualifying campaign, it meant a winner takes all play-off held in Sudan. The two countries were hardly the best of friends before and this was proven in clashes in the build-up to the game between rival fans leading to 15,000 police being deployed in and around the ground during the match. A narrow 1-0 victory, thanks to a spectacular Antar Yahia goal, meant Algeria made it to their first World Cup since 1982. Algeria coach Rabah Saadane has only had two warm-up games to prepare his squad for the World Cup and will be hoping that will be enough, as his country look to defy online betting odds and make it to the second round for the first time. Leading the team will be Yazid Mansouri, with 58 caps he is his side's most capped player. Nadir Belhadj, who spent a less then stress-free season at Portsmouth, is the most well-known player outside Algeria. Despite being favourites to finish bottom of their group, if their key players perform the North African side stand a chance of qualifying from their group and in doing so, making history.  |
| City after Spanish World Cup winger Posted: 24 Jun 2010 03:01 AM PDT It seems Manchester City are willing to spend big in an attempt to win the Premier League title next season as it has been confirmed they are in talks with David Silva. Roberto Mancini's side battled for the Premier League top four up until the final weeks of last season, but were pipped to the Champions League spot by Spurs - who they meet in the opening game of next season. City have already had a £20 million bid for Aston Villa midfielder James Milner rejected, and are expected to return with an even bigger offer, while Valencia have confirmed they have allowed Silva to meet with the club. The winger, who is currently helping Spain justify their World Cup betting odds in South Africa, has previously interested the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United - so while Valencia have not stated a price agreed you can predict it is going to be big money. Valencia's deputy chairman Javier Gomez said: "As has been said, there is interest from Manchester City and we have permitted them to talk to the player, but we have reached no agreement and we have not talked about a fee." Another high-profile player linked with City is Inter Milan defender Nicolas Burdissa, who spent last season on loan at Roma. According to the Premier League 2010/11 odds, City will be there or thereabouts when it comes to the run in, but they will need new signings. As City look to strengthen their defence ahead of their pursuit of the Premier League title next season, Burdisso's agent has stated that Inter have told him of interest from Mancini's side.  |
