Come on guys....Not another crappy start...........!
19 min: I wouldn't like to see Rafik Halliche attempt to apply some deoderant of a morning. Because he has just tried to spray a pass out to Belhadj and mised by the width of several fat bodies. (Gotta love the Brits commentary)
17 min: That's an awful, Ziani-esque effort from Donovan. Get it together, lads.
15 min: It's poor fare so far, to be fair.
9 min: Another elementary error by an American defender. This time it was Cherundolo who goofed, kicking air as a long ball flew through to Djebbour, who again lacked composure and plopped a ridiculous shot into the sidenetting.
WHAT A MISS! It was appalling defending by DeMerit, who allowed a long diagonal ball to bounce past him and into the path of Djebbour. The striker killed it on his chest and then crashed a rash hasty shot past Howard and onto the crossbar! he had enough time and space to do much better than that but rushed his effort, betraying the confidence of a man who hasn't scored in eons.
4 min: Algeria are taking the early initiatives here, with the US content to try to absorb the pressure and strike on the counter-attack.
2 min: Donovan scampers down the right and delivers a dangerous cross. But Mbouli clasps it cleanly.
1 min: We have kick-off. Belhadj immedaitely goes long for Djebbour, who nods it down to Matmour, who wallops it first time just over the bar. Foxy start from the Fennecs.
