Algeria midfielder Karim Ziani said he couldn't have afforded to miss Saturday's crunch qualifier with Egypt. The Wolfsburg man has just returned to full fitness after recovering from a thigh injury to boost the Desert Foxes ahead of the Cairo Stadium clash. "I said before that I am eager to play this game even with one leg," Ziani was quoted by Al-Haddaf newspaper. "I would blame myself forever if I missed this game. I usually look forward to taking part in crucial games." Counter Ziani believes that the hosts will be under pressure to score on Saturday, which gives Algeria an advantage to surprise them on the counter. "Egypt will be under pressure because we don't need to create play in order to find the net. So we can hit them on the counter attack," he added. "For us, the game has already started since everyone is talking about it. I want our fans to have faith that we will qualify for the World Cup." Algeria should avoid losing by two goals or more in order to make the South Africa finals for the first time since Mexico 1986.
