Algeria with a PK!
Algeria strikes! 1-0 Algeria 24'
Would make this group interesting if Algeria knocks Belgium off
Could we meet Algeria in the round of 16? They just took a 1-0 lead on Belgium. Algeria is the team Donovan scored in the 91st minute in 2010 for USA to advance to the round of 16.
Dumb foul by Vertonghen. Was pulling the arm of the Algerian, any contact and he was going down. Just unnecessary. 1-0 Feghouli converts. This is good for us, we need Russia to win this group and us to get second in ours.
No way they get through the group. The only thing I see is Belgium tying them at best. Belgium and Russia should get through, no problems. However, wilder things have happenedQuote:

Dang, it's Ramires. Paulinho, Luiz Gustavo, and Ramires? That seems like it's going to lead to a very un-Brazilian style of play.
I expect David Luiz and Marcelo to get forward a lot, though. And hopefully that will allow Neymar and Oscar to run free. I would have much rather seen Bernard, but hopefully he comes on much earlier as a sub this time.
I love these two announcers assigned by ESPN for Mexico/Brazil. This is an example of when ESPN gets it right.
Mexico is attacking Brazil pretty well. Brazil is getting some good counter attacks too though. This has been a pretty entertaining game
Also, Mexico's goalie is ridiculous right now
Ochoa is a beast in the goal...two amazing saves thus far.
Brazil has been dominating possession but Mexico still getting fair share of chances. Brazilians flopping a lot, seem a bit frustrated
