Algeria midfielder looking to cause upset

Hassan Yebda has warned England not to underestimate Algeria in their World Cup group next summer. Algeria will be one of England's Group C opponents in South Africa, along with USA and Slovenia. Fabio Capello's men are expected to make it through to the last 16 at least but Yebda insists Algeria will be no pushovers. Algeria have not appeared at the tournament since 1986 and Portsmouth midfielder Yebda is excited to be facing England. "It's just a fantastic draw for us," he said in The Sun. "Everyone thinks it will be easy for England as this is the first time Algeria have qualified for 24 years. "But we will see about that."
