Six games into the tournament, and these two sides played out a real contender for worst game of the World Cup. England’s two remaining group opponents played out a dismal encounter in Polokwane which was decided by another terrible goalkeeping error.

To quote BBC Sports’ Piers Edwards, ‘Algeria’s tournament has been one of the most inconsistent and intriguing I have ever seen.’ Following their narrow escape from a group which contained Angola and Mali, ‘Les Fennecs’ pulled off what was perhaps the victory of the tournament with an enthralling victory over the Ivory Coast. With a [...]
After their embarrassing capitulation against arch-rivals Egypt, Algeria will be looking to gain a small consolation in taking third place by defeating Nigeria on Sunday.

Three players sent off, and four goals conceded; could Algeria have come up with a more shocking display, after their excellent victory over the Ivory Coast in the quarter finals? I doubt it.
