South Korea v Algeria (Group H) Sunday 22nd June

[Lea]

Why are the crowd whistling?

 

[Lea]

Oh that would have been a beautiful goal!

 

[editor]

What a shot that was.

 

[mhendo]

Great strike; great save.

 

[Silva]

That's a style of play. Some teams actually seem to forget that the goal is the goal. Maybe Spain have reached that point.

Well, right now Portugal is being really trying to make Ronaldo look good, not so much in the rest of the stuff, like defending and scoring goals and general discipline

 

[big eejit]

Woof! Was thinking of giving this game a miss. It's a cracker.

 

[Badgers]

Why are the crowd whistling?

Gaps in their teeth?

 

[tommers]

Great goal that.

 

[editor]

It's a goal fest!

 

[mhendo]

Very nice!

Do they whistle when the ref makes a controversial decision?

As the editor noted earlier on, they seem to whistle when South Korea has the ball. I don't know if it's something the Algerian supporters are doing.

It's a bit off putting. Can't the crowd cheer or sing instead like most people do.

 

[Lea]

Yay for Korea!

 

[editor]

Loved the pointy girl in the crowd with the bizarre hat thing!

 

[Badgers]

One of the highest scoring games

Was expecting a low score or draw

 

[big eejit]

What a good world cup this is.

 

[mhendo]

OK, i have to stop following this thread so closely. That's the second time today that i learned about a goal in the thread before i saw it on my screen.

I have to watch the games online, through Spanish-language channel Univision, because the group games are not available on free-to-air TV in the United States, and it's clear that Univision's web feed is about a minute behind real time.

Proper lively And at this rate plenty of time for at least 2.7 more goals

 

[5t3IIa]

A goal every 12.33333 minutes

 

[Cheesypoof]

Cwazy game!!!

 

[Barking_Mad]

The Algerian 4th goal surely is a World Cup great. If Brazil had scored that etc. etc.

 

[eatmorecheese]

Shit! That was liquid football

Another great match, well done Algeria

 

[Silva]

fantastic match

 

[Voley]

What a good world cup this is.

Yeah it's been great. This and Germany / Ghana have been the best so far for me.

I was just having a fag on my balcony when a couple of open top cars packed full of young Algerians sped past; horns blaring, chanting, flags waving
