Round of 16 matches

[BoyBrumby]

Would be so keen if Algeria got through and they played their colonial oppressors in the next round

Would guess about half the Algerian team is actually French by birth, tbf.

The lad who plays (occasionally) for T*ttenham, Bentaleb, is a former French youth international

Madjid Bougherra is most definitely French by birth, as are his parents.

The high proportion of French-born players is why Algeria are quite good for an African side. Would be an interesting side if the likes of Benzema and Nasri had opted to play for then as well.

 

[Burgey]

This has turned into a bit of a stale mate the past few minutes.

Algeria still hanging tough though.

Jeez the Kraut goalie thinks outside the box, doesn't he?

 

[Furball]

Get Klose on ffs

 

[Spark]

What'll happen is that Algeria will look good for an hour without really creating anything clear cut, then drop off and then concede with ten to go, though. At least, that seems to be the pattern in these matches thus far.

On cue, almost

 

[Maximas]

oh ****, the late surge is on again

 

[Furball]

Left foot ffs

 

[Spark]

That was glorious

[Cabinet96]

Love Müller.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ruthless German efficiency, eh?

Jesus, I'd have been embarrassed if England had effed up a free kick like that.

Neuer is the new Beckenbauer: fact.

 

[Spark]

Germany's center backs better be buying Neuer a few beers if they win this

 

[sledger]

This is tense.

 

[sledger]

Really poor effort by Schweinsteiger there. Had so much time.

 

[Spark]

This is tense.

Yeah. Algeria definitely have dropped off defensively a little but Germany don't seem to have found second gear all night

Neuer is the new Beckenbauer: fact.

Like I said, this side isn't at all efficient. Bar maybe Müller.

 

[Maximas]

difficult to see Algeria surviving another 30 mins tbh, an excellent effort nonetheless

 

[BoyBrumby]

One of the better goalless 90 minutes one will witness.

Would be so delicious if Algeria will on pens.

 

[Cabinet96]

Germany have actually been good in the second half. Continues at this trend and penalties won't be needed.

You have the soul of a sponge.

Dream a little, ffs.
