World Cup

Algerian forward bottles out of another 50/50 with Neuer. Maybe a wee challenge would make the keeper think twice about rushing out.

He should have seriously smashed him with that last one, he was favourite until he seen him coming then bottled it.
 
I've enjoyed this game. And forget the fact that its against Germany, I'd like Algeria to go through, they're a bloody spirited team, with plenty of talent. Remembering that its Germany and I'd like Algeria to win in the 31st minute of extra time!
 
Algeria are/were a real credit to this World Cup. That's putting in a shift to make Germany look ordinary. Just needed that extra bit of quality at the right end if the pitch.
 
Nine consecutive World Cup quarter finals for the Germans, that is one hell of a record.

Algeria played some great football, real blood and snotters stuff.
I have never seen so many chances in a 0-0 90 minutes. Both goalies were superb.
 
What time is it out there. I guess some of the Algerians will be observing Ramadam that started yesterday and so won't be able (or shouldn't) take fluids until darkness

Only just seen this post now but apparently the Algerian team have had a pardon from Ramadam while the world cup is on! Has caused some debate in their home country.

I know Ozil was observing Ramadam although he played like he hadn't eaten for about 6 months :D
 
France will win as Germany look a tired team , but they seem to get better the longer the game goes , must be a German thing , they know how to get the job done , I think it will be a Holland V Argentina final , repeat of 1978 and the dutch are due big time having lost 3 finals , 74 78 & 2010 , Brazil look poor at the back and it will tell at some point . the real joy of this world cup has been how the so called lesser teams have played , the final ball has been their undoing but they have kept going and worried many of the better teams in some great matches ...............................EYF

Holland cant play Argentina in the final as they are in the same half of the draw.
