Russia are pretty terrible themselves, so maybe they should.

But when you refer to someone as a dark horse your saying you wouldn't be surprised if they won it. Id be amazed

Yep, think some of the Belgium players have holidays booked.
Algeria look comfortable, Belgium look very poor indeed.

With the free kicks Belgium are taking they've got nothing to worry about.
You can't pin it all on Belgium. Algeria are well organised defensively and just aren't allowing Belgium to play, closing them down as soon as they get on the ball.

Absolutely. Always felt that any combination of two could qualify from this particular group. Easy to say Belgium and Russia but the Algerians and South Koreans are no mugs and were always going to make things difficult for the fancied two.

If you can't break down Algeria you probably won't be getting out of the groups. It's nowhere near good enough from Belgium.
