Algeria has no fear of the United States at the World Cup.

Algeria's surprising 0-0 draw with England saved it from becoming the first team to exit the World Cup. Now the north Africans are targeting a win over the Americans and a spot in the next round.

"If Algeria plays to its potential we don't need to worry about our opponents," midfielder Karim Matmour said Sunday. "If we play our style of football we can beat anyone."

Germany and France examine 'two-tier' euro

Germany and France are examining ways of creating a "two-tier" euro system to separate stronger northern European countries from weaker southern states. The creation of a "super-euro" zone would initially include France, Germany, Holland, Austria, Denmark and Finland.

The likes of Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal and even Ireland would be left in a larger rump mostly Mediterranean grouping.

Il Sole has published a letter by 100 Italian economists warning that the austerity strategy imposed by Brussels/Frankfurt risks tipping Europe into a self-feeding downward spiral. Far from holding the eurozone together, it will cause weaker countries to be catapulted out of EMU. Others will leave in order to restore sovereign control over their central banks and unemployment policies:

FELIX ZULAUF: THE MARCH 2009 LOW WONT HOLD

He believes we are currently at a major turning point in the markets where investors are beginning to realize that government spending is not the solution to all our problems. He says the fiscal austerity measures will only increase deflationary pressures and that the pain is inevitable and unavoidable:

AXA fears 'fatal flaw' will destroy eurozone
Analysts at the French financial group AXA see a serious likelihood that the eurozone will break in half or disintegrate, dismissing Europe's 750bn (623bn) rescue package for Club Med debtors as a stop-gap measure that misdiagnoses the problem.

Anxiety is mounting in financial markets that a prolonged bout of political uncertainty in Belgium following national elections next Sunday could prevent decisive action to tackle the nation's debt mountain that threatens to turn it into "the Greece of the north".

Interest rates on 10-year Belgian government bonds jumped from 3.15 to 3.50 per cent last week and investors are demanding a mounting premium to hold the debt over corresponding German paper.

Belgium's debt is currently at 99 per cent of its gross domestic product, the highest in the eurozone after Greece and Italy, and is forecast to exceed GDP by the end of the year

In Thread: GBP
Prime Minister David Cameron is set to deliver a stark warning about the action need to tackle Britain's budget deficit and public debt.

He is expected to say the UK's economic problems are "even worse than we thought" as he sets out why he believes "painful" cuts are necessary.

In a speech he will say how the 156bn deficit is tackled will affect "our whole way of life".

An article from The Telegraph:

"The single currency is in its death throes and may not survive in its current membership for a week, let alone the next five years, according to a selection of responses to the survey the first major wide-ranging litmus test of economic opinion in the City since the election. The findings underline suspicions that the new Chancellor, George Osborne, will have to firefight a full-blown crisis in Britain's biggest trading partner in his first years in office."
