3rd & 7 37yd

Riyad Mahrez shanks a shot well wide of the post from the left, but at least it was an effort on goal!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:18:23 PM
poor decision by Mahrez to blast the ball over

Dud finish..... Algeria's not going to get a lot of shots. Need to do better.

by Ian via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:18:27 PM
Hahahaha what a wild shot

by Judge via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:18:28 PM
Belgium having small moments of brilliance in these early minutes, but nothing to show for it.

For the USA match, I nearly gave my family a heart attack for the first goal (screaming) and nearly gave myself a heart attack for the second.

Paul the Psychic Octopus!

by Texas via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:18:35 PM
we have been spoilt by previous games (apart from the nigeria game)... just 17mins and people asking if this is going to be dud....

by Bristolian via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:18:40 PM
I have no problem making that deal. I can't imagine anything more exciting than watching sports all day. Not too different from I do now anyways.

by Alex Z via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:18:43 PM
I got Brooks' face tattooed on my chest and now my girlfriend is mad at me. How do I recover from this, Tom?

by Timbo via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:18:49 PM
Timbo, I'd suggest many, many dinners, and perhaps a back tattoo of her choosing. Even it up.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:19:23 PM
way to go, Timbo!

by Texas via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:19:28 PM
I see Paul the Octopus on the google page! Wonder what its pick for this match?

by Jill via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:19:30 PM
Early prediction USA 2 Portugal 1. USA goes through!

by Brandon via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:19:32 PM
I expect Eden Hazard to do well today. Who knows more about trying to break down a team who parks the best than a Chelsea player.

by Alex Z via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:19:33 PM
This WC is at risk of unable to continue should brazil couldn't make it to next round...

by sam lim via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:19:36 PM
Tom - Within the next couple of years, will Belgium consist exclusively of Chelsea and Spurs players?

by sw1fty13 via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:19:39 PM
Don;t forget the Spurs and Man Utd contingent!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:19:51 PM
No one should be surprised by how this match is going. This is how Algeria plays. Very possession oriented, very solid at the back.

by Ian via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:19:53 PM
Had Paul betted on his predictions without leaking them, he would have died a millionaire, maybe even billionaire.

by Sherlock via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:19:57 PM
i think the best reaction to a goal was when brooks scored.. the look on his face.... the utter sense of disbelief... unforgettable....

by Bristolian via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:20:00 PM
True, Bristolian - that look of shock and just lying there - that's the World Cup for you.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:20:17 PM
Anyone still hungover from the celebrations of last night?

by Alex Z via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:20:32 PM
The wave has replaces vuvelas. How badly did I spell that?

by CJ via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:20:35 PM
I think Bristolian hit the most important one in D-No Moyes no Felaini

by Cory via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:20:38 PM
Chance for Belgium!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:20:45 PM
Axel Witsel thumps an effort on goal from 25 yards and Rais M'Bolhi does well to beat the ball away. Good stop.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:21:18 PM
CLose for belgium! thats the only thing missing from this world cup. a goal from long distance

by Bob The Builder via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:21:22 PM
Witsel: DAT POWER!

by Mike via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:21:24 PM
Witsel shot on target real venom!!

by Son of Okocha via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:21:25 PM
As a Chelsea fan, I have trudged through my fair share of Hazard trying to spark a talented team to win against inferior opposition.

by Warpig via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:21:26 PM
The fact that Brooks kept shaking his head, like he thought he was dreaming or something...so great...

by Aaron via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:21:28 PM
Has there been a more boring first twenty mins to a match this w

by sidvaz via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:21:33 PM
It's picking up, sidvaz, give it time!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:21:44 PM
Oh shoot, forgot about ManU, touche Tom

by sw1fty13 via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:21:49 PM
Tom, in your opinion, what player that's either a free agent or on the transfer market has improved his club level value the most this World Cup?

by Estevao via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:21:55 PM
That's a tough one, Estevao!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:22:10 PM
why is chadli picked ahead of januzaj?

by sidekick via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:22:44 PM
Tom, what were your thoughts on Dempsey getting blasted in the nose. I thought for sure that was a foul at least.

by Cory via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:22:47 PM
Cory, I didn;t actually see the incident, but I'm sure fellow GIllette Boot Roomers can answer that for me!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:23:17 PM
PENALTY!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:23:25 PM
PENALTY

by Ian via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:23:44 PM
Algeria have a penalty after Jan Vertonghen drags down his man at the back post!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:24:05 PM
Plot twist!

by Azkal via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:24:07 PM
Wow that's almost a red card

by Ian via ESPN 6/17/2014 4:24:08 PM
