Algeria:A potential outsider to the throne

After missing out of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, Algeria is back at the finals. They are returning with a reconstructed and younger team than the one that participated at the 2010 World Cup. Under the stewardship of the ever demanding and competent Franco-Bosnian coach Vahid Halilhodzic, the Fennecs have found the winning formula and have most especially found their goal scoring touch which was their major head ache in 2010 and 2011.
