Algeria v Russia

Russia still have a chance to go through but the only way to make it happen is to beat Algeria today. Leaving political talks aside, it would be unfair to say that the Russian can't play good football. They are, in fact, one of the talented teams in Europe and they have always played good football at the Euro/World Cup, even when they lost. They have technical and fast players who now play tactically well thanks to Capello, and I really think they can do much more than they showed in the first two matches.

Algeria, on the other hand, are the first African nation to have scored four goals at a World Cup, and many voices claim that their match and superb victory against South Korea (score 4-2) was one of the best matches played so far in Brazil. Nevertheless, I think the class and the superior level of experience of the Russian side, will prevail today. It's simple: win and you are through, lose or draw and you are out in shame. I really think Capello's men will go for the first one!
