What a wonderful game Algeria deserved that goal, they have really made their mark in extra time.
France vs Germany is going to be one game to watch.

I didn't see the first half but based on the second half and extra-time it looked like Germany deserved the victory.
The Algerian keeper was outstanding.

So Germany will be facing another team who are possibly seeking revenge for 1982.
The possibility of a France v Algeria match made me wonder - what is the highest number of players born in the same country who have appeared in a single international match (given how many Algerian players were born in France)?

There must have been England v Ireland games with a lot of players born in England.

Time for a pointless fact (courtesy of the Guardian).
Of all the starting line-ups in the group stages just seven players wore black boots. Six of them were goalkeepers.

Another pointless fact, so far all the group winners are through to the last 8.
As for the first half, well... nothing much to comment on apart from a Swiss chance of a goal, that was a poor shot, I hope the second half is a lot better.

Possibly France vs Senegal in 2002?

The first half was not anything to write home about.
So far it's more of the same in the second half.

So many chances for Argentina, but nothing develops.

Messi has been the only player on the pitch to play well!!
Di maria has given the ball away nearly 40 times!
