Not sure why your laughing, Algeria are stringing as many passes together as Germany, the difference is that Algeria are moving the ball around between players quicker and moving off the ball more effectively. What is happening in this game is not direct football, its ball speed. Ball speed meaning the transition of the ball from player to player or 1 and 2 touch football mixed with quick dribbles. Still the same amount of passes being used by both sides though.Have you seen Barcelona winning anything lately?
Thought so.

wasnt a foul before the offside?
Why are Algeria so fast paced and direct? Something's not right.
Algeria’s government-appointed High Islamic Council has come down in favour of those wanting to delay their fast. Sheikh Mohammed Sherif Kaher, the head of the body’s commission for religious opinions, said: “those playing can abstain from fasting.

I'm probably wrong but they won la Liga in 2013 ?Have you seen Barcelona winning anything lately?
Thought so.
Forget Klopp...everyone with half a brain knows Löw's tactical set up has been appalingly shit since the second game.
The problem is, they are not that fast. We make them look that way...
Because they have really good ball control, they receive the ball in a manner than means they can go forward or create space for their next passes. Also they have the whole "third man running" thing going well.
This is too accurate.
Howedes looks like Woody Harrelson
If Germany gets knocked out by Algeria, can this be regarded as the biggest upset in the history of the World Cup? Me think so.
Algerias ball speed is quicker
It hurts so much to see Lahm wasted behind the strikers. Does he even see the ball at all?
Also miss the sense of safety on the wing originating from him playing as FB SO MUCH.

I've been a fan since their game against South Korea.
Algeria would beat England.
Was more aimed towards the fact that his two best Full backs of the last season are getting no chance.

The Algeria coach watched the Euro 2012 semi final, and they're executing it perfectly. Luck and lack of skill is the only thing preventing this from being 2-0.
Problem is they didn't score, and now the legs aren't as fresh. It's a bit of an all in tactic in that sense.

Easily.
mueller
No doubt about that.
thought only God could do that...ah well religion eh?
Kroos playing about as badly as I have ever seen from him.
Cue something amazing now I've said that.

Even Müller acting weird now. Have our players been fasting collectively?
Not sure, their style is too similar to an English way, be a good match up
Germany in control of the game now, but it took way too much time.
Why is that anyway? Doesn't Germany have any decent midfielders then? Low is coach, not Guardiola...
ITV sound utterly desperate for an upset here. Tyldsley almost climaxing every time Algeria get into Germany's half!
Islam is a pretty flexible religion tbh
They played exactly like this against South Korea. Actually I was equally impressed by how skillful their players are.
Özil best and least nervous/most ballsy player so far. Now that's rare.
I still think Germany's problems come mainly from the midfield. All 3 players are too slow and all do more or less the same thing.
more like they sucked each other off before the game
Wow, that could have gone anywhere.
Gündogan, Bender, and the other Bender out injured.
Schweinsteiger and Khedira weren't really fit going into the tournament.
Neuer is the best CB on the field.
Neuer is insane
Germany have got keepers on manuel
What is Neuer doing?
