Algeria coach Rabah Saadane has warned his players they face World Cup humiliation at the hands of England if they do not improve.
The North African side were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by the Republic of Ireland - who will not be in South Africa - at Dublin's RDS on Friday night, just three weeks before they are due to meet Fabio Capello's men in Cape Town.
"Ireland are a formidable team - they were superior to us and deserve a place in the World Cup," said Saadane. "But England will be a tougher team than the one we faced tonight. They are one of my favourites to reach the final."
