I think this Algeria side are better than England. They keep possession better.

I am certain.

Confident on the ball? Check.

Can string more than 2 passes together? Check.

Dangerous in attack? Check.

Look like a team? Check.

They've really impressed me so far. Even in the Belgium defeat they played OK. If England had the 2010 WC group this time they still would have gone out. Algeria and the USA have improved from 4 years ago, whereas England have stood still.

Couple of weeks ago before the Belgium game was listening to TS on my way home from work. They had the guy on from the gambling site who sponsor them to do some odds. Adrian Durham thought he was taking the piss when he was talking Algeria up. He genuinely thought the guest was on the wind up (you'd think he'd be able to tell). Turns out he knew what he was talking about.

Germany aren't all that are they? They were better for me in World cup 2010, that was a missed opportunity that tournament for them.

 

From what I have seen, Colombia are the best team at this tournament.   That doesn't necessarily mean they will win, it's cup football after all, but they are certainly the best team.

Worlds best full back at cm still makes no sense when you have no one else there.

I don't follow German football at all, is it a case of him being a bily big bollox and he picks where he wants to play and no one has the balls to tell him otherwise?

It's not as simple as that though, is it?  Lahm has had the season of his life playing in CM for Bayern Munich.

I agree, but surely it would be better for the team to have a specialist full back in, with khederia in dm. Would give them more shape.team is greater than the individual

Adrian Durham and Talksport in knowing absolutely **** all shocker.

 

I seriously cannot stand Talksport. I know that it's their job to rile people in order to get them to call in and it absolutely works, but it's just so shit. I wish everyone would realise and just not play their game. They employ wind-up merchants rather than people who actually know their stuff and it infuriates me.

You'd think an international coach would recognise his side are getting raped on the flanks and change it up, given he has the personnel to do it.
