I wonder if Benzema would play if Algeria make it through?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
i think germany never lost in a world cup over PK
Also this reff is biased hes giving everything to germ
There's a first for everything.
Algeria have had their chance I think, can't see them winning this in extra time because they're exhausted, and we all know Germans don't lose on pens!
Extra time!
lolz @ Germany
The finishing in the game is straight from FM-series
Fantastic display from both keepers so far.
Clöwless
A tale of two goalkeepers, this match. Excellent!
This is the end of Low I think.
Should've been 3-3 or something like that.
Kroos off, Klose in pls. We don't need 2 holding midfielders now.
Rais M'Boli - the only player from the Bulgarian championship at this WC!
Lat time Germany didn't qualify in the QF - 1938.
So basically, you want to maintain the status quo?
That was very good for a 0-0.
Stupidest posts of the thread -
1) The game is boring
2) Kroos is the best player on the pitch by a mile

It's an incredible game, but the crowd are giving me a headache with the constant screaming.
I think extra time will be too much for Algeria unless they can nick a goal from somewhere somehow.
Really chuffed for Algeria, was hanging around with some of them at the Sao Paulo FanFest when they played Belgium and they were really gutted they couldn't hold on (Germany could do with our microphone man in the box).
They must be going mental now

From Wikipedia
Germany slightly better in the 2nd but far from convincing overall. Great game by Algeria, they've been all over Germany in the 1st, a bit worse in the 2nd, but defended brilliantly. Everything is possible now, Germans are favourites of course but its football, I never expected this to go to OT.
Germany experience should see them through extra-time. Even better if it goes to penalties.
This and Mexico/Brazil were both great matches with no goals...
This match has been more like Mbolhi vs Neuer than Algeria vs Germany.
Well done Vahid. Great manager.

From a German POV I'm glad it went to extra time. I was more afraid of a late Algeria goal.
Really? That's outstanding.
Maybe because ball is always coming to Neuer he's always favourite for these balls, he isn't lighting quick.
His timming of these runs is what makes him great at them.
Wasn't going to watch this. My nerves are shredded now. Glad I did.
Can someone put Tommy Cooper's head on Muller in that vid pls?

They made up for it the next year with an all-conquering display in Europe.
One of the best 0:0 I've seen.
I want to watch the best teams period
Better let them make the quarters here then...
Why isn't Draxler ever considered? Is he injured or something? Thought he'd be perfect when Reus was declared injured.
