Day -86 WorldCup2018
It may be a short one today. To carry on with my 1982 theme this is one
of the greatest World Cup upsets which was then followed by one of the
greatest World Cup travesties. But the moment itself, when Algeria beat
the mighty West Germany, was wonderful not just for the win but for the
way the unknown Africans did it: it was exciting, creative football.
Just like Algeria in 2014. And in 2014 they did make it to the second
round unlike in 1982 when the Germans and Austrians colluded to make
sure they both progressed at the expense of the Algerians.
