Algeria Coach Rabah Saadane admitted he believes his side face an uphill struggle to qualify for the last 16 following their defeat at the hands of Slovenia yesterday.

"If we had a positive result, it would have given us more of a chance to go to the second round. Now it has become difficult because we will be facing opponents (England and the USA) who are the pool's top two contenders," he said.
