sudan??? what a waste

Considering we could barely beat Rwanada, couldnt beat Zimbabwe, and lost to Angola, I'd say Sudan is just at our level.

The Algeria squad according to El Watan:

Gaouaoui, Zazou, Yacef (JS Kabylie), Daoud Sofiane, Daoud Bouabdallah, Moumen (MC Oran), Amroune, Laïfaoui, Harkas, Benatia, Belakhdar (CR Belouizdad), Achiou, Zemamouche, Metref, Hamdoud (USM Alger), Deham, Bouguèche, Younès (MC Alger), Ousserir, Abdeslam (NA Hussein Dey), Hadj Aïssa, Maïza (ES Sétif), Djediat (Paradou AC), Zaoui (ASO Chlef), Diss (USM Blida), Hanister (ASM Oran)

The three JSK players and two NAHD players will not be available because they have a Coupe D'Algerie game on June 1st. MC Oran's Moumen is doing his omra, so he won't be available.

So there won't be any player from european leagues! Well, that must not be a bad thing to give their chance to some locals.

Just for this game cause the European leagues finished some 3 weeks ago and most players havent played or exercised since then. The next game should have the pros and locals.
