Algeria forward Islam Slimani has revealed that he and his team-mates 
are donating their money to people in Gaza.

The north African side won the hearts and minds of many with their 
heroic effort in pushing Germany to extra-time in their round of 16 
World Cup clash.

And now their display of generosity to the poor and needy in Gaza has 
further endeared the watching world.

Slimani, who plays for Sporting Lisbon, said: 'They need it more than us.'

In stark contrast, Algeria's fellow African World Cup participants 
Cameroon had well-documented divisions in their camp over the issue of 
prize money.

Algeria returned home to heroes' welcome on Wednesday.
