Looks like that goal took the wind out of the Nigerian sails. They've been on their heels since.

France scores AGAIN! 2-0 France 90+1'
Goal, France. Own goal. France are certainly a candidate to win the WC. They've looked really dominant in most of the games.

Luis Suarez has admitted to his bite in a round about way. "It'll never happen again". Like anyone will believe that

I like a lot of their young players, but I also thought they were ready to compete now, and they clearly aren't.
How bout that shitQuote:

If you're not watching Germany Algeria, you should be. Germany is lucky that it's 0-0. Algeria is dominating the last five minutes, just put one wide by a foot and scored but were ruled offsides (correctly). Thought it would be a blowout but Algeria is really making it an interesting one.
HT: Germany 0-0 Algeria
The ESPN GameCast makes it look like Germany is dominating.....shows them with 70% possession and with 12 shots (6 on goal) to Algeria's 5 shots (1 on goal). Is that misleading?Quote:

Muller with a Not Top 10 moment on a free kick. Fell over himself doing a fake run up.
I hope every soccer coach is recording this game to show your kids exactly what to do as a GK. This Algerian GK is amazing.
