Belfast Mags Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 There went my hope of a Costa Rica - Algerie semi final. What a clash of two titans that'd have been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndegwa Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Great stuff from Algeria! Played some fantastic stuff, beautiful interchanging at times just lacked final ball. Incredible how much even they look better than England, especially going forward. Gutted there's no more African representatives, the continent's in the best shape it's been football-wise for a while now. Expected more from Ivory Coast, let alone Ghana and Cameroon. Got a feeling the Germans might go on and win the tournament now for some reason The Germans haven't impressed and neither have Argentina or Brazil, but I still see these 3 teams as the strongest. In other words, France v Colombia in one semi-final and Holland v Belgium in the other... Agreed, Germans don't look pretty at all but always seem to come up with the goods. They only need a few minutes in the game to win it, dat German ruthlessness. Would absolutely love Colombia to win it, would round of an incredibly memorable World Cup (even though my adopted nation are shite) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Plenty of history in a German-French clash after the Algeria game. Have they played in a World Cup since Schumacher vs Battiston? Assume they probably have like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Is it just me or do France and Germany not play each other very often for two teams that are regularly in the later stages of competitions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Is it just me or do France and Germany not play each other very often for two teams that are regularly in the later stages of competitions? I think it's quite normal. I think Brazil and Germany have only played once against each other in the World Cup and it was a final. The most common matchup in World Cup is Brazil v Sweden which has happened 7 times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgium remind me of England in recent tournaments so far. i think the US will beat them too...said before thje tournament belgium could do great things if they had a top class manager (england similar) but as it is they seem to be looking to scrape through every single game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndegwa Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Supporting the US tonight Love the energy and work-rate they possess, don't care if they're not the most fluid side in possession, they do enough to make it entertaining. I'm quietly enjoying the rise of footy out in the US and seeing all the pictures of (cheesy) American fans going nuts in big cities like Chicago and New York...the camaraderie between them is fantastic and to be honest they've shown more passion than England have for a while. So go...err...team USMNT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Belgium haven't impressed. However, USA's horrifying lack of attacking options and Belgium's solid defence means this has 1-0 Belgium written all over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Can't believe how much I bum Algeria. Brilliant team: heart, workrate, great on the ball. Just lack that cutting edge to be a top side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just lack that cutting edge to be a top side. they benefit from having a strong backbone. M'Bohli, Belkalem/Halliche, Brahimi and Slimani down the middle. Feghouli is class too.
