There's history between these two sides and a place in the QFs up for grabs. Germany go in as clear favourites, but Algeria are a hard working team that could prove difficult to break down.
Enjoy the match!

Yes that's correct. But anything can happen in this world cup so a win for the Algerians cannot be ruled out.
Actually, it doesn't. That contradicts your earlier "Germany go in as clear favourites" meaning this will be a washover.
But nice bump.
So many complexities.
Germany do seem to have slightly gone off the boil following their demolition of Portugal in the opening match so it'll be interesting to see if they can recapture that to any degree tonight.
I still maintain that Algeria are the best African team in this World Cup and you can guarantee their players will more fired up for this match than any they've played for their country before purely because this is their chance to right the wrongs of 32 years ago.
Glad to be able to see the Germany match and be up for it.
Really?:o
Are you joking or are you serious?
1982 was my first World Cup - a fantastic tournament for so many reason; the Italy/Brazil match, Bryan Robson's goal after 27 seconds against France; Northern Irelands victory over the host nation Spain, Hungary sticking 10 past El Salvador, the epic semi-final between the Germans & French, I could go on.
And then there was the disgrace that was West Germany v Austria. I can't really blame the Algerians holding a grudge, especially the ones old enough to remember it.
It's a fact.
Ozil has said he's not taking part this year.
Are you allowed to just opt out of Ramadan?
And if you are, why have the Algerians not chosen to do so?
He's not done too badly there for me. He does tend to run up quite often though, he could do with being perhaps a more defensive midfielder.
