Four new Algerian football players based in Europe are to join Algeria's national team, Echorouk reported on Wednesday (April 23rd). Three of the players – Hassene Yabda of Le Mans, Djamel Abdoune of Sedan and Karim Aghouazi of Metz – play in France. The fourth player is Mourad Makni who plays with Italy's Lazio of Rome. The Algerian Football Federation is waiting for FIFA's approval for the move, and hopes to have the news players on the team in time for the 2010 Africa Nations Cup qualifiers.

Please, I would like to have a list of our players— all of them— who are abroad and who would like to wear the national team’s jersey. I am a divison-two football coach and I hope, God willing, to one day lead our national dear national team. This is my life, my blood. In hopes of reading you again, see you soon.

belhadj Posted 2008-10-27

Long live Algeria’s Saâdane Cheikna! God willing, we will take the World Cup!

bouanem Posted 2008-10-28

When will we see Feghouli, a young, talented player with a full future ahead of him, on the national team? God willing, Saadane will beckon our brother, Soufiane. All of Algeria’s hearts are vibrating for this young talent. He is the future of Algerian football. I will be the first one clapping if this comes to pass. God willing, see you soon, Soufiane!

bouanem Posted 2008-10-28

I would like to know if the Maghreb’s champion and national football teams will emerge as they did before and to know what has happened to the former glory of Maghreb football as it was in Lalmas’, Atouga’s and Bin Barek’s time, God bless them. Long live the united Maghreb and all Maghrebins without exception! Union! Union! Union! Unite and God will be with us! Good luck to Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia in the upcoming World Cup and Can qualifications! A word to the wise!

reda yahiaoui Posted 2008-11-04

Algeria is our dear country. I would like to salute all of you, the ones who carry Algeria’s national team in the deepest of deeps in your hearts, for the warm support you always offer Algeria. Algeria needs this support. I came here just to tell you that I love our friendly national team so much. I pray to God that they will be one of the best team at the global level and—why not?—also the world champions. Long live Sheikh Chiokha Saadane! Long live Algeria and the contract they don't want.

anki Posted 2008-11-04

I would really like Saadane to call up Morad Makni of Rome’s Lazio: he is super! And, all the more so with Lacen of Racing de Santander and Abdelkader Ghazzel playing centre. Long live Algeria! God willing, we will take the World Cup! God willing, we are going to **** Egypt! -Thank you, Anki Nabil (from Ouzellaguen, Béjaïa)

chebata med Posted 2008-11-05

Hi Sheikh Saadane- Is there any news about the national team? Is Ghazzel is ready to play?

anki Posted 2008-11-06

Hi to all the Algerians! I would real like our drafter, Saadane, to get the Charlton player Hameur Bouazza to join! He has not been given the chance to prove his technical skills, especially the physical ones! Djediat, Himani and Suger are all worthless! They are amateurs! Please, Mr Saadane, look for some European players; there are so many of them! Thank you. Long live Algeria, the JSK and the masses! –From Béjaïa, Anki Nabil Douzellaguen

Amine Mallah Posted 2008-11-15

Long live Algeria! God willing, with Sheikh Saadane, we will win against Egypt in the 2010 World Cup qualifications!

kazi tani karim hai nassim Posted 2008-12-12

I hope that Algeria’s national team will be at the world level. May god protect you Saaden Jibouba. Our country will be the pride of the Africans. We love our flag. God willing, Algeria will be on tope of the world. –Salam alaikoum

mohamed Posted 2008-12-18

Salam alaikoum- I would like Sheikh Saadane to take advantage of all the foreign players in order to qualify, God willing.

mimidou Posted 2008-12-31

Hi to all the Algerian people, and, not to forget, our Tunisian and Moroccan neighbours- Sheikh Saadane, we are all with you, heart and soul. We pray God that He will show you the right path and he will make enlighten you about the qualifications for the players (that is: the professional players). One! Two! Three! Please, Coach Sadaane, let us have Algeria – 3: Egypt – 0.

hebari Posted 2009-01-04

May we get to see your Feghouli and Hadj Aissa on the national team! We know that the Algerian game is crucially lacking in offense. It would help the forwards if the offense we to move in and go after their ball. We only make goals from the corners or at the France Cup. We would do better to call upon number 10 so that he can play for us. These two players have the quality needed. It is imperative that we get them on out team. We should take advantage of putting them to the test in Algeria. -Benin

عماره محده Posted 2009-01-26

We hope Algeria wins the cup, God willing. Thank you.

عبد القادر Posted 2009-02-01

A greeting to our national team. We wish them all the good and qualification to the World Cup 2010. Long live Ziani, Saifi, Rabeh Saadane, Haddi Ben Abdelkader Othmane.

badro Posted 2009-03-01

Hello everyone. I hope that Algeria will qualify to the World Cup and the Africa Cup, with the help of God and the players.

chikha Posted 2009-03-04

I am sure that it is no bother to figure this puzzle out: focus on the Algerian academies. “We always have the strength of God!” …Stop saying such nonsense, please. How are you going to win against people like the Egyptians, who work? Right now, they are building themselves up, and you are saying “With God’s help…”. Whatever! Being realistic is work, concentrating is work and psychological work is work, but we have got “God”!? And, if we lose, does that mean that God does not like us? Stop it! We want some academies just like the one of the Pardou, which I would like to thank. I assure you that this is how it is: we put our work into the academies and I am sure that in 15 years we are going to have as our aim being one of the eight World-Cup and African-Cup finalists.

mourad Posted 2009-03-04

Long live JSK Kabylie! This is not the national team. JSK is number one! We do not have a national team.

amine 46 Posted 2009-04-10

Long live Algeria! Godwilling, Fawzi will go to Egypt. And, if the Egyptians have Abu Trika, Amr Zaki and Imad Moutib, then we have Ziani, Gazelle and Belhadj!

amine 46 Posted 2009-04-11

Long live the Greens! God willing, they will beat the Egyptians! And if the Egyptians have Hadri, Moutib, Zaki Zidane and Trika, then we have Gaouaoui, Belhadj, Gazelle, Matmour and Ziani and a lot of fans to boot!

zakari Posted 2009-04-13

:-) you forget Saifi and Anter Yahya, lol.

أعمر حيدرة Posted 2009-05-07

I love the Algerian national team. I nominate it to win over the national team of Egypt 3-0. it will qualify to the World Cup in South Africa.

أعمر حيدرة Posted 2009-05-07

The fate of the national team depends on its qualification to the world cup. It will defeat the arrogant Egyptian team and all its opponents with this result 3-0 because God is with us.

bile samir Posted 2009-05-20

I am sure that our national team is capable of beating Egypt's given the high quality of our players, including the native ones. So, there is no bother in getting a headache about this. I would like to say that we have a lot of confidence in our Sheikh, Rabah Saadane.

بدرالدين (م) Posted 2009-05-23

Peace and mercy of God be upon you. I hope that Algeria wins over any enemy who wants to defeat it. I wish success to all Algerian players especially Karim Zyani.

kendouci Posted 2009-05-30

I hope to go against any country in the world except Egypt and Tunisia. Saadane, keep your flag in mind and dry your eyes. If you lose this one, it will be a tragedy. Bouteflika said, “Lift your head up, father”.

Long live the Algeria's national team! May God protect you! Long live the sons of the 1.5 million martyrs. The Algerian people are all brothers. Go Greens! leghrib ali ain m'lila and oum elboughi

tarzan Posted 2009-06-06

Really, the Algerian team is made up of proud players and good men such as Ziani, Antar Yahia, Belhadj, and, really, Algeria does its all to play with professionals that trained abroad and love their country like Abdoun from Nantes or Meghni. I have nothing against these players, who are developing in Algeria's championships. However, it is not in disputing the matches against El Khroub and in eating zlabia after training and in playing on rotten fields that you are going to qualify the national team for the world championships.

يوسف Posted 2009-06-09

I love the national team especially players Bouguerra and Ziyani. We hope to qualify to the world cup oh Lord make it ours.

athmane Posted 2009-06-30

Long live Algeria!

سيف Posted 2009-07-17

We will defeat Egypt in both legs and we will qualify to the World Cup.

anouar Posted 2009-07-23

My Algerian brothers- God willing, we are going to go to the World Cup! With Meghni, Boughra, Yabda, Ziani, Belhadj and Ghazèl, we are going to fly all the way to South Africa! We are going to find our values and our true feeling of belonging in the wonderful country that is Algeria. Meghni has velvet feet!

الطيب Posted 2009-08-07

Peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you. I would like to say something but hope you won't take it into consideration. There is nothing called football in Algeria... Why? Because football in our country is taking the way of violence in stadiums as well as the pre-Islamic intolerance. However, European are totally different from us. We don't find violence there but sport spirit. So there is no football. Thank you.

zycklon Posted 2009-08-08

This year, God willing, we will qualify. Personally, my next vacation will be in South Africa. An Algerian should go wherever he has to, even to the end of the Amazon. We were born for this and we will die for this. Long live Algeria! We will always have men here, cousin.

I am a real fan of the national team. I would like to see our team go to South Africa. I adore all the players on our team, especially the stars Karim, Ziani, Belhadj and Ghazal. I want to see all our players face off against the stars of England and Brazil.

Meghni will become the best player in the world.

yacine Posted 2009-09-12

Long live the national team. In the past it was a disaster. Now we are one of strong teams in the world and in Africa. But praise be to God, after this crisis, thanks to the expertise of politicians and the hike in the oil price, the Algerian state is capable of directing this team to the rank of big teams. Why not and we have defeated Zambia, we had a draw with Rwanda and defeated the brotherly Egypt. However, up to now, they don't recognize defeat. They pretend it is a passing accident. We tell them our national team is a tenacious team as it was said by Hassan Chehata. Thanks to the national team. To more success: Algeria 3 Rwanda 0; Egypt 1- Algeria 2...???

نورالدين العطافي Posted 2009-09-13

God willing we will defeat Egypt 3-O regardless of the result of the game between Zambia and Egypt.

ameer bnb Posted 2009-09-14

I wish to the national team over Rwanda. We will qualify to the world cup with sheikh Rabah Saadane. Thank you.

awanne Posted 2009-09-21

Go Greens! We are all behind you! Go Sheikh Saadane! You are Chaoui by origin, so this is your 1 November. And, you have terminators in your kingdom. I dream of a victory over these Arab failures, over these Egyptian babies in Egypt. Zaini is our darling. Bougouara is always our assurance! I adore Gazal, our hope. All the others are truly our pride. Go Sheikh! I want Ziani to bring back the captain's medal!

salim Posted 2009-09-29

Long live Algeria.

Los Angeles dude Posted 2009-09-30

The Algerians are quite gifted in sports, and this is in spite of the minimal means our dear public has at its disposal. Algeria is another Brazil when it comes to football. Personally, I played in the street in sandals and on rocky ground. You become very precise that way. And, with a grass field and a regulation ball… WOW! I hope that our talented Algerians will join the national teams, because the people’s passion for Algerian football is unrivalled. Moreover, I live 15 thousand kilometres from our country, and I am still impassioned by this team. There is no God but Allah. We are going to make waves at the World Cup. Algeria is no joke when it comes to football.

hayadi Posted 2009-10-01

Long live Algerian football! We left our mark in a country where it always snows.

Riquelmi 10 Posted 2009-10-06

God willing, by God, Algeria will qualify for the World Cup at the 11 October 2009 match at 7:00 PM in Tchaker.

1, 2, 3. Long live Algeria. With you Greens, with you Saadane. We the Algerians are proud and dignity. We're going to the world cup with the will of God. Oh Lord, grant victory to our national team and lift the flag of my country high, oh Lord. Please pray to the national team because players are great God bless them and we have a professional technical staff. Oh Lord grant victory to the Greens in their endeavorer and assist them. Oh Lord, You are the only one we have, lift the flag of Algeria high and protect its sons.

hamza drean Posted 2009-10-17

One step is left. By God we will win God willing the Arrogant Egyptians who produced a film and put our flag reversed. They have reversed our star and crescent. God suffices us and He is the best mandate. This is just the political effect. Egyptians, we are going to win you. It is good now we have the master Rabeh Saadane. May God send you. God willing we will go to the world cup. It is true we have been humiliated and stumbled, but today with Ziani, it is our turn. We are with you greens, cubs and Fennecs. They say Pharaohs, we will embalm them now. You will see on the pitch. We will humiliate them. Bring Hadri, Amr, Zaki, Gaouaoui, Antar Yahya, you will cry Egyptians. I know you build castles just with your mouth. But we don't talk until we bring victory since the boys are bearing the flag in their hearts. Say to Egyptians Algeria has brought men. You will see on November 14. it will be written with the hands of Algerians. Go you who call yourself Pharaohs, you will see. They will teach you football...

bouhadj Posted 2009-10-20

Hi- The Béjaïa and Semmaoun Greens are behind you, Saadan, and the national team! Long live Belkacem Bouhadj’s Greens!

boumélita amira Posted 6 days ago

I tell you that Algeria is awesome. Algeria plays and always wins. Why did Algeria lose? I know why Algeria lost: it was because Egypt set up the Algerian team out of jealousy for our country, Algeria. Egypt is a worthless country. Personally, I prefer Algeria to Egypt. One! Two! Three! Long live Algeria, my love! Personally, I prefer Algeria. Do you like Algeria or Egypt? Answer me now. Algeria is a great country. Egypt is a little country. Algeria is better than Egypt. God, Algeria is my love, my beloved.
