Algeria woke up a little too late.

 

[$200]

My respect to Algeria such a great game from them.

Same here, I had been saying Algeria was one of the weakest teams before the tournament started. They were absolutely amazing today.

 

[krYlon]

Great try Algeria, but they should have taken their chances.

Germany should have too I guess.

 

[Xeno_V]

Algeria played well, I was very impressed.

Every game in this round is so close, only Uruguay got rolled over.

So much this.
Colombia had an easy game, all the other games were so close and I felt sorry for most of the teams that lost because they really tried although they were the underdogs.. From Mexico losing the game in a few minutes and Chile / Greece not being able to score after having some nice chances and eventually losing in the penalties and now Algeria that played like a team that wasn't afraid at all of Germany. I am wondering how the French will do against the Germans, before the World Cup had started I would say that the French don't stand a chance, but Germany hasn't been that convincing so far.

 

[AstroLad]

Shouldn't this have been a PK because it's a foul in the box? ROBBERY!

 

[danreis]

The World Cup is pretty wide open. Brazil, Germany, Netherlands, France with close games at round of 16, next round will be great, pretty much everybody can win this.

Amazing World Cup.

UEFA>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[cilonen]

I'll put Holland Spain just before, but that's biased. Great game though

Me too. What a way to get the WC going, This round needed this game though, hell of a match.

 

[jamesinclair]

What a cunt

Can he be disciplined after the game?

 

[Ephemeris]

I could make a new God Level commercial just from footage of this game.

Those Goalies. ugh.

 

[Broder Salsa]

The ref stole the game. German goalie should have gotten a red card for hitting the ball from the algerian after the goal

lol

Neuer is a cunt though, that is known.

Keep reaching breh

 

[kamorra]

holy fucking shit

Was quite intense, wasn't it?

 

[Tugatrix]

Can't believe we conceded 4 goals the them
.

Maybe I can

Yes you can

Spoiler

unfortunately

 

[cripterion]

Germany plays like that against a stronger team and they are going home, once again the only team to impress so far is Colombia..

I don't think Colombia would be balling either against them, that fake Colombia hype.

You should go back watching tennis or golf.

Mostly talking about the laser pointer, not the whistling (though that was excessive, too, if to be expected given the location and fan proportions)

ha- you're amusing

 

[Abitor]

Neuer VS Algeria 2:1

 

[barit]

Muahaha classy Neuer. You must be fan of him !

 

[Envelope]

Yeah this Germany could easily be defeated by a better team but France was awful against Nigeria so we'll see

 

[Milchjon]

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Now, if only Argentina lost.

If you reach that far you might stretch something, be careful. Also check your NaCl levels, they are rising.

 

[GingerNathan]

France can definitely beat this German team if they play well. Hopefully Deschamps will start Griezmann in place of Giroud and obviously Valbuena needs to play.

I'm not sure they will, they haven't got the pace of Algeria, wouldn't be surprised if the Germans win comfortably.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Big ups to Algeria man they fuckin hung in there. Would have loved to see them win. Made the Germans sweat that is for sure. I have a feeling that win just made Germany even more dangerous. Those tough gritty wins are always a good thing.

 

[Overdoziz]

I don't get why shit like this is still allowed. So many times players cling onto the ball with their dear lives while the other team does everything they can to take it from them. It's so stupid.

 

[kamorra]

Can he be disciplined after the game?

Was just a cuntish move. They won't discipline him for that.

 

[Tugatrix]

ahahaha

 

[cafemomo]

Wow

 

[Burgess_101]

Would love to be able to enjoy the world cup but its 12:40 am and all I can hear are cars bibbing their horns because Germany won.

Not only is it salt in the wound as an Englishman its fucking 1am.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

The ref stole the game. German goalie should have gotten a red card for hitting the ball from the algerian after the goal

This reaction is jokes, but I still feel like the ref should have added on a bit of time for this sort of obvious timewasting by Germany after the goal. There's no real rule regarding it, but many refs would have tacked on time to account for the goal and the shit Neuer is pulling here. Every second counts.

 

[la_briola]

Oh no, don't shine a light in my eye from a really far distance.....

Come on man....

You do not know how lasers work, right?

 

[t0rment]

neuer is awesome.

 

[SniperHunter]

amazing game

 

[Kodaman]

lmao

 

[Empty]

algeria were great. really impressed with how calmly and skillfully they created quick moves from defense. other teams would just boot it.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Such a great game. The world cup often has great upsets but it seems the knockout rounds often prevent them from going to far.

 

[Scotch]

So far every team I've rooted for in the round of 16 has lost. Ugh...

Who are you rooting for tomorrow?

 

[Sadist]

Algeria fought hard, much respect. They did great.

Congrats German GAF. France will be out for blood.

 

[Doomshine]

Oh no, don't shine a light in my eye from a really far distance.....

Come on man....

If that isn't shitty behavior then I don't know what is.

 

[sestrugen]

It isn't allowed, could have been a yellow there

 

[Ingeniero]

Now, if only Argentina lost.

I want to believe.

 

[Chakan]

Magic trick right there.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Much respect for Algerian team. Not for the audience. Fuck that.

I second this statement, those fans were waaay tooo obnoxious... I wouldn't be surprised if we hear some news on incidents post match.. God, I hope not.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Algeria was amazing, but they were against what probably is the strongest team in this WC. And they were actually the more dangerous team on the first half.

Great game.

هاردلك الجزائر

Well German defense was pretty bad though IMo, Algeria just couldn't capitalise. A clinical team woukd probably have scored a few times vs. Rb/lb Neuer.

 

[demon]

You do not know how lasers work, right?

Yeah and green ones are much worse to shine in somebody's eyes, we perceive them as much brighter. Did this really happen?

 

[JohnDoe]

This is just heartbreaking

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Oh no, don't shine a light in my eye from a really far distance.....

Come on man....

is 150 million kilometers enough?

jk

 

[OverturePT]

How did the Algerian goalkeeper not win man of the match? Watching him was something special.

He did win I think.
