ALGERIA - SLOVENIA match thread

by bobbybottler » 13 Jun 2010 08:39

Slovenes for me. Algeria have been mediocre at best in their warm-up matches.

Bets for this one would be unders, and a lay of Algeria.

I'm not so sure, I've got a feeling this could be an Algeria win :| They must have something about them,they knocked out Egypt who aern't exactly mediocre (although I accept as they are bitter rivals emotion must have played some part).

Very difficult to call. Algeria have been poo recently and Slovenia don't exactly set the world alight. I'm going for a Slovenian win as have been there. 'They'll be dancing in the streets of Ljubljana tonite Jeff.'

Wouldn't mind signing Koren. Free agent now. WCBAP though.

Algeria aren't great, but they can play football. Pretty decent with the ball at their feet. The 3/1 on Algeria in-running is a great bet.

they can pass and control the ball better than England's "stars". Why are we so shit at the basics?

Algeria over hitting everything and going long too much. Slovenia incapable of the simplest passes when in the opposition half but trying to play it on the deck.

Awful teams.

Poor game. Bad crossing and passing. England have nothing to worry about.

Archie's penalty Poor game. Bad crossing and passing.

Doesn't that sum up every single game of the tournament so far? Seven goals in five and ahalf games so far.

It makes me wonder how much FIFA bringing in the new £1.99 supermarket ball has had to do with it. The thinking at FIFA always seems to be that it'll fly through the air unpredictably and result in loads of goals, where in reality it just results in attacks breaking down because the crosses keep going 15 yards past their target.

Goalkeeper's union strikes.

Obviously something needed to happen to make Green's error look less unique.

It's weird...even though that was probably the worst game of competitive football ever....I still found it completely absorbing.

I do love the world cup.

I think I need to watch games with people to really enjoy them. Or maybe the games I've watched on my tod so far have been shite.

The two games we watched in the SU were pretty mediocre, all told.

This game was dogshit. If we don't get out of this group then we might as well pack up and start playing bowls or something.
