As hoped and expected, Algeria has brilliantly dismantled the Korean central defense with air balls in the 1st half and quick short passes in the 2nd. Algerian's coach pre-reading of the game was quite good.
Korea now is all but out of the race for the 2nd place. We will have a final against Russia on thursday.
He is close to Sevilla to the best of our knowledge. If there is a player in Algeria who can perfectly fit Tottenham, it would be Feghouli (Number 10).
For Bentaleb, he surprisingly commited some dangerous wrong passes, but was defensively useful. Though, We have heard that Algeria's coach is thinking about benching him for the decider against Russia.

Stupid Russians, idiot Capello ! This was a match Russia could have won easily as Belgium were poor again. Russia were the better side as they created more dangerous chances but annoyingly they wasted them all. They had 3 or 4 open chances which they should have scored, especially the free header in the first half. If Russia had a half decent striker like Pavlyuchenko, they could have won this match by 2 or 3 goals. Don't understand why the idiot Capello didn't start experienced players like Dzagaev and Kerzhakov until late in the match. Also, the ref from Germany was clearly favouring Belgium as he gave all 50-50 decisions to them, including not giving the stonewall penalty to Russia in the first half.
How is that not a penalty as the Belgium defender clearly kicks the Russian players leg, causing him to fall ? I find it strange that a German ref was picked to handle this match when teams from this group are certain to meet Germany in the next round. Felt the ref was giving unfair advantage to Belgium all game, by pulling back all the quick freekicks by Russia but not doing the same for Belgium. In fact, Belgium's goal was scored when 2 Russian players were down injured near the Belgium's goal area. Belgium hardly looked like scoring the whole match up until that moment. It was a boring match without many goal mouth action and 1 goal was always going to decide it. And Russia would have won this match had the penalty been given.
Russians have only themselves to blame as they should have beaten South Korea earlier. Algeria did well to beat South Korea and will be in high morale when they play Russia next. Not sure if Capello can get Russia to beat Algeria to enable them progress.

technically, it is 100% a penalty. but in reality, i think that chances of getting a penalty for that is less than 50%. in real time, it looks like there's a chance the defender nudged the ball. and thats all the excuse the ref needs not to give the penalty. they are just too scared to give game changing decisions. the fact is, if that happend in the middle of the pitch, you would definitely get a freekick. refereering standards really needs to improve. i think the only way that will happen though is if video technology/challenges are introduced.
There have been too many of these poor penalty decisions this tournament. Other than this russia/belgium one, off the top of my head, there was zabaleta/iran, and both feghouli and son heung-min should've had penalties yesterday too.

He really was absolutely immense. Really dynamic and technically outstanding - he retained possession Dembele style on multiple occasions. Scored a great goal - superb committment to pass and move, lovely touch and composure on the finish.
Was really impressed and entertained by Algeria - they looked a proper TEAM with so much quick accurate passing, dribbling tekkers and off the ball movement. Such a refreshing switch up from the clumsy, lethargic, stone age England team.
he's trying to drag the ball, and has his foot kicked
