True true.


I hope Algeria wins for a few reasons today:

1). No North African Team has ever made it past the Group of 16. Algeria, 2014 seems like a good time to do it!
2). Revenge for 1982 against Germany
3). Because an Algeria/France quarter Final match is just odd to think about and fun to consider. It's be like a Mexico-Spain match or a Russia-Ukraine match. It has interesting political dynamics.
