Russia should totally outplay South Korea.
Russia are a organised team with good team work

3-0 to Russia

 

Russia should win but in this unpredictable WC anything can happen. South Korea has been really poor form recently this young generation haven't proven anything compared to past South Korean teams. Belgium should beat Algeria handily but Algeria is not the bunkering all defense team they were in 2010. I'm rooting for the Les Fennecs!! Pull out a result for CAF!!'

 

A major upset here, Belgium might lose

 

I hope.

 

No Fellaini? WTF, he is the Moyes,s best buy and the best player in the world.

 

I say 2-0 Belgium, as long as Algeria loses for revenge on how they frustrated the US in 2010.

 

The Algerians might put off a surprise

 

No real goal action... Algeria unfazed by Hazard. Even out there so far.

 

Why are the spectators hatingBelgium?

 

A majority of the crowd is likely neutral, so I think they're just all rooting for the underdog.

 

Because they want to see their best player Fellaini

 

Algierans somehow always manage to travel a lot
There is a 7% Arab Brasilian population. They will be strictly pro-Algerian and are located primarily in the South. They also consisted a lot of the viewers of the Iran - Nigeria match.

 

Belgium is looking very tiki-taka

 

As in: They play boring football?

 

So far that's my impression. I haven't seen them before, not in qualifiers and not in friendlies. They got a good reputation and I was curious; so far very boring.

 

Penalty. Calling it Right.

 

Disaster for Belgium, poor defensive positioning letting him get inside.

 

1:0 Algeria... are we in for a shock?

 

Goal. My prediction came right; he did shoot to the right.

 

Algeria shocks the group! 1-0.

 

That's just what this game needed - an Algerian goal. Now they'll keep all 11 in the penalty area.
