Bollocks.
Korea isn t inferior to algeria on the paper.
My comment wasn't regarding Korea's quality as compared to Algeria; just their quality in general. No one is going to suggest that Korea is one of the better teams in this tourney either.

Algeria world ranking is 22, South Korea is 57.
Isn't that an inherent inferiority?
Korea is always very decent in WCs in recent history and algeria hasn t won a WC game since 1982. I was expecting a tie.

After the Belgium game I couldn't handle another boring match. You know it's all set up now for Russia to win their last game and steal second right?
And world rankings mean feck all!
You mean that you are certain that russia will beat algeria by 2+ goals and that it's in the bag? And you haven t even watched the game... Algeria was very unlucky to lose against belgium in the first game by the way.

You know Russia won't go far if they manage second in their group. Both Belgium & Germany weren't as impressive as these fans in their last match.
Belgium's goal was a beauty, but they were fortunate to escape with the 3 points and advance.
I'll be pulling for USA... their opening win looks better to me now that I've seen the challenge that Ghana presents. But they need to elevate their game if they expect to win again.

Where are the american cheerleaders?
See math isn't your strong point again, Russia just need to beat Algeria to go through, well unless Korea hit 3 past Belgium without reply and Russia just win by a goal but not a chance of that happening.
And yes, Algeria were unlucky to lose against Belgium, as were Russia - Belgium suck. Russia should have had a pen and missed a couple of very good chances, Belgium just played well in the last 10 mins, even less than they played against Algeria.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't say I want Russia to go though... just think they might steal it. Hope not though.

my bad, was seeing algeria with 4 points and +2 and russia 1 point -1. Hey, you see, I have no problem admitting when I said something wrong, you might want to try do the same thing! food for thoughts.

I'm a 'merican... GO USA! I've just been less than impressed with the team so far Algeria vs Russia should be an entertaining match if both sides show up like they did today.
