Algiers: Algeria plans to use expatriate technology boffins to give them the lowdown on their opponents at this year's World Cup finals in South Africa.
Coach Rabah Saadane cannot attend all the pre-tournament games of Group C rivals England, the United States and Slovenia so he will rely on reruns of the matches with special software breakdowns, he said.
"To learn more about our rivals, we have consulted Algerian specialists outside of Algeria who have sophisticated software to do summaries about their strengths and weaknesses," he said.
"When I arrive at (Swiss base) Crans Montana, I will work on it because until now I have a lot of work and I didn't have the time to do it."
This is the third time Algeria have qualified for the finals, but they've never advanced past the first round.
