Algeria takes the lead on a PK! First World Cup goal since 1986

I put 5 on under 2.5 in this game. I don't want Belgium to win, but I don't care if they tie, as long is it stays under.

lol 5? i put 5100 on Belgium.

Halftime: 1-0 Algeria. These dudes were tough to score on last World Cup, they were in USA's group. Only allowed 2 total goals in 3 games, they just didnt score any themselves

I have 21,000 vCash on Belgium. I guess my run of big favorites winning may be over.

i had 25 vcash to begin with and wanted to put something on more than 1 event. I found out yesterday I get the winnings or my 0 bank reset to 25 vcash when Bookie starts a new thread.

Heh. Start a new run next game with Brasil crushin Mejico.

Although i'm not counting Belgium out quite yet. I expect them to turn up the intensity and pressure all 2nd half.

Fellaini wow what a header for the equalizer

 

[hokiehi21]

holy shit i guess that sequence is why Belgium is one of the favorites

Glad to see Belgium win, Algeria had many 1 shot on goal from the penalty in the game.

I have real live american money on Belgium to win their group.

I was sweating bullets at the 70 minute mark.

Not a great game. Belgium had a lot of trouble creating anything. Most of their shots seemed well off target. Hardly looking like a dark horse with play like that against a team of the caliber of Algeria. I doubt if Algeria would have scored if the Algerians had not been awarded a PK. First half was really boring.

Safe assumption.. they had 3 shots and only 1 on goal (penalty kick). The other 2 came from long distance and not very good. Algeria had no offense to speak of.
