Unbelievable Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 This Algerian team was outplayed and didn't deserve to beat Burkina Faso in the qualification playoff and picked up only one point at the 2013 ACN, losing to Togo in the process. As always, World Cup is a totally different stage Plus the North Africans are always able to draft in some more French players when the squad needs topping up. What? They continuously lose their best players to European nations.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Algeria wouldn't have a team if some people had their way. Almost entirely French-born. Who ruled out (grand)parental qualification like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are born in France and products of French life and the French football system. I don't see how they are 'losing' those players. If anything they are lucky to be gaining the 2nd rate of their diaspora in France when their own system can't produce players. If it wasn't for the French football system they wouldn't be at a World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algeria have barely produced any players in the current squad through their own system. It's ridiculous to suggest they've been robbed of a player such as Benzema, who's parents I'm fairly sure were born in France nevermind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Has anyone mentioned the ball in this World Cup? It looks like they've finally perfected...the ball. We used one at 7 a side. It's really mint tbh Looks good like. Last WC ball that I remember being good was the tricolour in France '98. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
