June 22, 201411 yr Author Russia keeps getting called for offsides. Seems they have a hard time staying behind the border line.
June 22, 201411 yr Author Asia is just downright terrible. Going to be 5 losses and 3 draws in 8 games. 1) There has been talk that qualifying spots need to be reallocated to give Europe another spot and that it might come from CONCACAF. Hopefully this kills that talk. It's pretty much impossible to argue taking a spot away from CONCACAF before Asia. 2) It continues to be patently unfair that the CONCACAF teams don't ever get a chance to be drawn into groups with Asian teams. This really needs to get fixed.
June 22, 201411 yr ESPN just had a heading on their front page for the Algeria score...something like "sly like a desert fox," wonder if they retracted that one with the possibility someone might make Erwin Rommel/World War II/Nazi references?

Wiki lists the team's nickname as Fennec Foxes or Desert Warriors so I don't think it's a stretch really.
