Their last WC win was in that dreaded year 1982!

WAHT
They'll be dancing in the streets of Algiers of they hold on to this

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Good stuff. The Anfield Wrap's world cup preview had some guy on with his bet of the tournament being Algeria at 5/1 to qualify, given the state of that group.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:37 (twelve years ago)
long ball, win 2nd ball, bosh. Allardyce would be proud.
― pandemic, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:38 (twelve years ago)
I think we may be heading into cricket score territory, Korea do not look capable of withstanding this at all and Algeria are just strolling.
― William Bloody Swygart, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:38 (twelve years ago)
I'm interested to see how Algeria get on as well. Korea aren't great and Russia are Russia so they might be a good outside bet for second place behind Belgium.

Algeria showing some real fluid, attacking play at times - they are really putting on a show
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:39 (twelve years ago)
this is a bad game

"Algeria look like world beaters. South Korea look like......panel beaters", sez Jim Beglin

OMG - Dutch commentator now saying that if Algeria finish second in the group, they will probably play... Germany! What a revenge fantasy for 1982!
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:42 (twelve years ago)
Oh, Pandemic probably has better info at hand
lol xp
― caek, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:42 (twelve years ago)
big assumption that germany wins their group
― pandemic, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:42 (twelve years ago)
lol panel beaters i mean
― caek, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:43 (twelve years ago)
wtf has happened to SK since the last time i saw them. they look like a schoolboy team here.
"south korea'a peter crouch"
― pandemic, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:44 (twelve years ago)
i'd watch that
― caek, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:44 (twelve years ago)
They do don't they?
Xxp
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:44 (twelve years ago)
Fingers crossed for a 6 or 7-0 drubbing here
― everyday sheeple (Michael B), Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:44 (twelve years ago)
That 'world beaters' thing is originally a Gordon Strachan zing about Darren Huckerby iirc.
― Rabona not glue (aldo), Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:45 (twelve years ago)
have korea been awful all round or mostly just defensively?
― ogmor, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:45 (twelve years ago)
Wow, SK are bottling it.

Hah I was wondering where he was
Watching the World Cup makes me feel like my mom when she watches basketball, just endless "Where's Jordan? Is Kobe still good?" questions, whereas instead I'm "Where's that tall guy for England? Where is Zidane?"
― 龜, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:47 (twelve years ago)
they barely got out of their half for the first 20mins.
they were good at the olympics weren't they? or am i remembering wrong?
xp to ogmor
― pandemic, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:48 (twelve years ago)
lol the olympics

Are Algeria still looking for revence for 1982?
― caek, Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:55 (twelve years ago)
One would hope.

Sorry, can't be cynical with this good display. It's what good stories are made of, and this WC is great.
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 22 June 2014 19:59 (twelve years ago)
it's the kind of 32 year old "story" itv would spend half time talking about and we would rightly call it glib, patronising bullshit
― caek, Sunday, 22 June 2014 20:01 (twelve years ago)
Don't see how it's patronizing, but whatever floats your boat.
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 22 June 2014 20:03 (twelve years ago)
Algeria seem physically stronger everywhere - like every individual battle is man vs boy.
― Maurice Malpas Holiday Jotter Blues (onimo), Sunday, 22 June 2014 20:04 (twelve years ago)
Game on?

This is where we find out if Algeria's 3 days of hard fitness training has killed their legs.

Soft goal
