Worst match I've seen Belgium playing the past season and then mainly the first half. The ball circulation was not even half as fast as it usually is, lots of trash in the game and what Vertonghen did was just stupid and unnecessary. Towards the end of the first half and especially during the last half hour they started playing their normal game again. Fellaini almost 2 goals, Origi almost his first for Belgium and Mertens the winning goal again.
The win was deserved, even taking into consideration the overall low level of play. Hopefully this victory will be enough to get them back to their usual selves.
And if someone wonders what Mertens was doing with his hands right after his goal, his father promised to shave of his mustache of he scored on the World Cup. His father was a teacher of mine in school and that mustache is legendary there >.>
Meh this was one of the more boring matches to watch
Algeria reminded me of Greece some years back, scoring a goal and setting up a freakin wall of 9 players, seriously I know it's tactics but how can u take pride in trying to win in such a way?
Nice header, as always DeBruyne his cross decides the game yet again
Ihope Russia will play a more open game cause this was horrible and frustrating to watch
9? 11 is more correct. For the majority of the match all 11 Algerian players positioned themselves on 1/4th of the field. This was the worst match I have seen Belgium playing in years, however even then this win was 100% deserved as Algeria was far far worse. Last week I was ranting on the defensive play of the Greeks and I thought it couldn't get any worse. I was wrong. Even the most defensive play I've seen the Greek doing was a hundred times more better than what Algeria did today. It was just deplorable.
Fellaini played better in his cameo today than what he played in whole season with United -_-
Fellaini didn't play hist best season, but he was also injured half of the time and Manchester as a whole was very bad the past year.
