That's Nigeria out then. I didn't watch the match, but it seems they held out pretty well, but without scoring they weren't destined to qualify.

EDIT - First half of Germany-Algeria ends, the latter is no pushover either. The better team shall qualify one way or another.

EDIT - The Algerian goalie is awesome.

EDIT - Au revoir Algeria, you played well (and missed several potential shots)

So are there any underdogs left, besides Costa Rica? :mrgreen:

Algeria really made Germany work for that win. Another impressive and aggressive performance from a "lesser" team. I also really like their powder green kit. Top marks all round.

Germany looked really dodgy at times and will suffer if they allow France that kind of space in behind their back line, especially since France have done so well at exploiting those areas in their previous games. I was convinced Germany had it in them to secure a semi-final berth. Now I'm not so sure. This tournament is great for that.

As for underdogs, who can be more Underdoggy than the USA? I wanna see Clint Dempsey score a goal with his ass.

Today's the day! Whether you've jumped in on the Belgian Waffle Boycott or you're just an average fan ready to cheer on your nation, here's hoping we can beat a team that looks better than us on paper, and is ranked two places higher (AS IF THE RANKINGS REALLY MATTERED NOW LOLOLOLOL [Spain]).

I too hope Clint scores with his ass.

I know it's supposed to be a joke, but this makes Americans look like even bigger douchebags than the "freedom fries" did :lol: .

The difference is that Waffle House is making a joke. They sell more waffles than any other company in the world, and they do not even sell Belgian Waffles. However the freedom fries thing was just stupid, but it was not a joke. If I remember correctly, they still call them freedom fries there.

Yeah, I don't even eat Belgian Waffles but maybe once a year. However, I do love me some delicious Belgian-style tripel and golden ales. Lambics too!
