World Cup 2014

Holy heck, this match all of a sudden!

Keeper ffs

wow

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

i hope they do!

rout

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.

long ball, win 2nd ball, bosh. Allardyce would be proud.

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.

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.

j/s

Algeria showing some real fluid, attacking play at times - they are really putting on a show

this is a bad game

sets up Russia-Algeria deathmatch

"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!

Oh, Pandemic probably has better info at hand

lol xp

big assumption that germany wins their group

lol panel beaters i mean

wtf has happened to SK since the last time i saw them. they look like a schoolboy team here.

"south korea'a peter crouch"

i'd watch that

They do don't they?

Xxp

Fingers crossed for a 6 or 7-0 drubbing here

That 'world beaters' thing is originally a Gordon Strachan zing about Darren Huckerby iirc.

have korea been awful all round or mostly just defensively?

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?"

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

lol the olympics

龜 ASKS IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WORLD CUP: Does Ronaldo still shave his head? Is he still fat and slow and injured?

Can Gerrard and Lampard play together?

Are Algeria still looking for revence for 1982?

One would hope.

ungggrh

Sorry, can't be cynical with this good display. It's what good stories are made of, and this WC is great.

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

Don't see how it's patronizing, but whatever floats your boat.

Algeria seem physically stronger everywhere - like every individual battle is man vs boy.

Game on?

hello

another long ball

Could be!

back of the head control

lovely control with the back

clever

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

Soft goal
