Algeria pile pressure on England

Algeria coach Rabah Saadane has issued a call to arms ahead of Friday's World Cup clash with England, insisting the result is not as certain as Wayne Rooney seems to think.

Rooney has already expressed total confidence that England would win their second Group C match, but Saadane views Rooney's bullish stance as a sign that England are not quite so sure of themselves. And he insists the Three Lions can be beaten at the Green Point stadium.

"England have their backs to the wall," he said. "We have nothing to lose and everything to win."
