Cape Town - Algeria acknowledged Friday they had their work cut out after being drawn in a tough Group C alongside England, the United States and Slovenia in the first round of the World Cup. "We'll see what we can do. We have to get work with it," he said, adding: "It's a group that's balanced, I think."
"We will try to score with a good display," he said.
England, particularly, had a strong chance of advancing to the round of 16, he said.
England had both good individual players, who benefited from playing in one of the best championships in the world, and a good Italian coach, he said.
Algeria, who beat African champions Egypt in the play-offs to secure their berth at the finals since 1986, will be facing Fabio Capello's side for the first time.
"It's a very interesting group, you don't get easy games at the World Cup," former England captain David Beckham said.
"Every opponent will be strong because when you play in the World Cup, every game is not easy," said Capello.
