    I like the way you've put that as a question rather than a statement for a game of totally doubtful quality :D

    I fancy a win for Algeria actually, they looked more than capable against Belgium and South Korea offered so little against Russia that I think they could be beaten quite easily if the Algerians are really on their game.

    Saying that, they're still playing a back five and only one upfront :D

    Yeah, Algeria look to have more quality, if they attack they have a good chance.

    I hope so....

    The Belgium/Russia game was the worst I've seen so far, so really hope for an exciting game.

    Technically it wont be the best, but I think they will at least play with a bit of passion....

    A good contrast in styles.

    South Korea will run around a lot with no end product

    Algeria will be organised defensively.

    Therefore a draw to keep them both in for the third game

    South Korea were involved in the worst match I've seen in this tournament so far, so I'd like to see them on an end of a drubbing to compensate.

    Decent early chance for Algeria there.

    They are being a bit more expansive in this match than they were against Belgium as they only have three at the back with wingers rather than wing backs.

    Who is this commentator, he doesn't seem too clued up on Korea.

    He claimed South Korea have made it to the last 16 in every world cup they have qualified for.

    They didn't in 94.

    Did Clark Carlisle say Algeria needed goals a draw would still keep them in It

    It's not the decider game either

    Hoping this shocks everyone and becomes match of the tournament.

    Enjoying this much more than the earlier game - granted, that's not hard, though.

    Slimani should have buried that. Terrific cross.

    Nice build up play from Algeria.
    Some dodgy finishing though.

    Despite how poor the African teams seem at times, they could still have 2 or 3 in the last 16

    Slimani does it for Algeria!

    Excellent pace to outrun the Korean centre backs and a good, composed finish.

    Thoroughly deserved goal, the Algerians have been more forthcoming in attack and have created the better chances.

    Edit and they take the lead

    Lovely goal. Lovely finish. Slimani proving a handful.
