Algeria Vs Egypt - playoff

Johner

Starting on Eurosport at half 5 for anyone that cares. They ended up with identical records in the group Egypt forcing this playoff with a goal in the 5minute of injury time against Algeria on Saturday.

This is going to be a cracker. I'd recommend you watch. Come on Algeria.

The real question should be how have they not managed to qualify for a World Cup since 1990?!

I was neutral before watching this, since I don't know the ins-and-outs of the rivalry.

But having watched about 20 minutes of Egypt players rolling around like drama queens....

C'MON ALGERIA

And Algeria's bus got stoned by Egypt fans at the weekend and split 4 players heads open that's another reason why I'm up for Algeria.

Stuck a tenner on Algeria at 3/1 aswell come on!

Bobalicious93

Is it extremely sad that I actually jumped when the goal went in?

It must be a sign, if they're there and we aren't, Algeria are my WC2010 team.




And if neither of us are there...well......umm....let me think about it..
