[mhendo]

Am I the only one watching this game?

Very nice goal for the Algerians in the 26th minute.

 

[binka]

Yes it's a lot more enjoyable than the previous rubbish!

 

[editor]

Two quality goals there.

 

[editor]

What was the goalie doing?!

 

[eatmorecheese]

Bang! 2 -0 in the blink of an eye

 

[mhendo]

Two quality goals there.

My feed must be running about 30 seconds behind yours, because I saw your post BEFORE I saw the second goal!

 

[binka]

south korea and japan don't seem to have made much progress as footballing nations since they hosted the thing

 

[big eejit]

First goal was very well taken. Great strength and control to make the most of a very good through ball.

 

[Gingerman]

Theres an Algerian resturant on the Old Kent Road,passed by it this evening, loads of supporters in there,bet the place will be rocking right now

 

[editor]

How come Korea are getting all the whistles?

 

[mhendo]

I was just wondering that myself.

 

[big eejit]

S Korea defence is shambolic.

 

[Gingerman]

 

[5t3IIa]

1 2 3 Vive Algerie!

 

[mhendo]

S Korea defence is shambolic.

Yeah, it really is a mess.

 

[Corax]

S Korea defence is shambolic.

Yep. But Algeria also look pretty tasty.

 

[5t3IIa]

"Wholly satisfying start for the Algerians" No shit??

 

[Silva]

What was the goalie doing?!

being the only one making amove? he should have hit it, but the defenders seemed completely oblivious to the ball.

 

[editor]

It's a koreanstrophe!

 

[Silva]

Also, I'm loving this

 

[big eejit]

Yep. But Algeria also look pretty tasty.

They do. Focused on scoring goals. When teams forget that's the target, that's when things get a bit 'England'.

 

[Gingerman]

Algeria have not won a World Cup finals game since 1982

 

[5t3IIa]

Algeria have not won a World Cup finals game since 1982

And not even scored a goal since 1986!

 

[Silva]

They do. Focused on scoring goals. When teams forget that's the target, that's when things get a bit 'England'.

Well, Spain did pretty well for the past 8 years passing sideways for most of the matches.

 

[5t3IIa]

Yes! Plucky little Korea

 

[editor]

OOh! That's going to make things a bit more interesting.

 

[5t3IIa]

Ooooh blimey. That was close Would be cool in Korea gets 1 every 10 mins of this half too

 

[mhendo]

Korea is looking much better this half.

 

[big eejit]

Well, Spain did pretty well for the past 8 years passing sideways for most of the matches.

That's a style of play. Some teams actually seem to forget that the goal is the goal. Maybe Spain have reached that point.

Only just switched on the match. Caught up on the last couple of episodes of Game of Thrones. Did I miss much apart from the last 4 goals?
