If Algeria won it'd have to be between Brazil & Argentina.

So many chances wasted in this match from both sides...

ffs :D that free kick.

Brilliant match.

Bar Colombia, every team in the knockout stages I've wanted to go through has lost. :(

Germany 2 Algeria 1
Germany advance to play France <- hey it rhymes! :)

Algeria were so brave :(

Quality was coming through toward the end they were lucky it went to ET and they only lost by one.

Algeria are where they rightfully should be, The Sau Paulo Airport.

let's just hope they're not carrying big rucksacks.

this kid never gets old.

Tomorrow, the US is going to shock the Amazon. I cant' wait.

Well, the world cup has gradually got "normal", as it were... Netherlands push Mexico out of the cup, Germany beat Algeria, Brazil got rid of Chile. Costa Rica nearly crashed out but they're still alive (nobody sane wanted Greece to win; 100% in agreement). Yeah, by the skin of their teeth! But it's still a riveting world cup. I think the final game will be Brazil - Netherlands... had some painful nightmare this morning :(

About Argentina? You'll be fine but I'm a bit nervous now :D.

This is the best day of the 2nd round for me. Messi, and the USA & Belgium; closest on paper tie imo. I'm enjoying seeing the excitement in America, seems like soccer is taking off :cool:.

Side note: Roy Keane is now our assistant manager (Aston Villa, can't be arsed bumping the English football thread). Recipe for disaster will not last the season.
