Germany rode their luck. Algeria can go home with their heads held high.

Fair play Algeria, still playing even when you're out. Just too little too late.

Really makes no difference if the team doesn't have any chemistry. A team of Argentina's quality should have blown away most of their opponents so far. Yet they labored to beat teams like Iran.

Doesn't matter. Messi is a genuine world-beater. Even if the rest of the team is only good enough to keep the score down, Messi has it in him to win games single-handedly. I think the goal against Bosnia was a massive psychological lift for him, and he's only going to get better and better as this tournament goes on. Who are they going to face? Switzerland? Probably Belgium after that? He'll build up momentum pretty quickly, and once he gets firing on all cylinders there's nothing that will stop him.
