A few team could have done with a fraction of the passion Algeria left on the pitch today. Respect.
they don't add time when teams scoreBut a goal was scored in that time therefore about a minute of it disappeared before they could get started again, you have to add that back on.
Da feck?Incredible to think of hire fat they have come in 4 years. Previously they couldn't bear England, and here they are drawing with Germany
Wouldn't it be good to see someone else win a World Cup apart from Brazil, Germany, Italy, etc? As long as they don't do it by playing dour shit like Greece did when they won the Euro's, I don't see how anyone can complain. How's football meant to grow in areas that aren't completely developed if it's always the same countries in the latter end of the tournament.Enough rooting for the underdogs.
I don't wanna see QF's with Costa Rica's and Algeria's thank you very much.

They were impressive in all their games and went throug well deserved.They were technically very good and created plenty of chances in the first 90 minutes.
No. Coming back at Chiles who said that France don't have anything to worry about. Algeria have more pace than France in their team and I saw very little in their game today that would worry me if I was German either.What did he say. "Don't write of the Germans"?.
It was direct to Schweinsteiger after a poor tackleYes?
There are no easy wins over Germany in a WC. When was the last one? Also: did you see France against Nigeria? Algeria is a lot better than Nigeria. Yes, Germany wasn't convincing, but they will show up against France.Should be an Easy win for France in the 1/4 finals , you cant win a World Cup with Mertesacker Mustafi Boateng and Howedes , Why is Durm not playing anyway?
Da feck?
I'm quite tiredberry shrew?
Brutal tackle on him, feck that is was more like assault.Patrick Battiston will be watching on Friday...
Agreed.MotM: Neuer by a country mile.
It's not about how much time is added on. It's about respecting the amount of time added. If a ref decides that two extra minutes are needed, he might as well make sure that those two whole minutes of football are played. The +2 at the end was at most one minute of football being played. Needless to say, one minute can change a whole game.About the added time. Lets not forget that this was 15 minutes of extra time. How much time do you wanna add on? 2 minutes for 15 minutes would be like 6 minutes after 45 minutes. It's not like Germany was time wasting either. Took quick throw ins etc...only Müller's block of that goalkick was a bit cnutish, but I didn't even know it wasn't allowed to be honest.
Löw is the only person in the world who knows.Why is Durm not playing anyway?
2002 World Cup final.There are no easy wins over Germany in a WC. When was the last one?
France have too many average premier league players in their squad. Debuchy, Koscielny, and Sakho will be blitzed.Germany will beat France with relative ease.
Yes I am. In my opinion, the team that goes through is ultimately the better team because they found a way to win despite what all the stats would show. At the end of a tournament, the best teams are the ones winning it all. If, say, Costa Rica were able to do that (they won't), then it would be clear they were the best of the tournament because they would have had to beat a lot of good teams in the run up to the final. But that's my definition on what's best. And that's what makes a tournament like this so exciting. An underdog can have a chance. It doesn't always have to end up with the status quo of Spain/Italy/Brazil/France/Argentina/Germany/etc.are you serious? how many times have we seen the best team lose?
No wonder you guys won, you had 11 outfield players on thereMotM: Neuer by a country mile.
No, 10. Höwedes and Mustafi clearly don't count!No wonder you guys won, you had 11 outfield players on there
Have to say the game was more fun when keepers stayed back and balls over the top were more effective.No wonder you guys won, you had 11 outfield players on there
Oezil neither. That makes us playing with 8...No, 10. Höwedes and Mustafi clearly don't count!
Colombia?Not mine. My country haven't lost a single game this World Cup so far.
Yup. Technically most of them were outstanding, probably even better control/dribbling than their German counterparts. Their passing in between the lines was also something to behold at times, just couldn't find the right weight on their crosses most of the time unfortunately (except for the goal obv). Also that one through ball from the CB at the endThe best team won, but what an extraordinary and heroic performance by Algerie. No dirty bullshit or diving, just pacey, technical football and passing and players running their socks off for their country. Great to watch.
