Algeria vs Slovenia

13/6/10 Peter Mokaba Stadium, Polokwane

Slovenia 1-0 Algeria

Goal Scorer: Robert Koren

RED CARD:  Ghezzal

This was a ridiculously laughable match. Both teams began as if they had not much of a concept about soccer, and they basically ambled about. Algeria boasted punk hairstyles and committed fouls. I thought Algeria might have had a few reasonable chances, but it didn't seem to carry, and then the goalkeeper sort of elbowed in a goal for the Slovenians. They took a moment, and then realized that it had happened. They had scored an actual goal, a point up, a world cup started.

It also proves with all this controversy surrounding the poor Jabulani ball, that it might be rather slippery. Or is it just some of the goalies that are having trouble with slippery confidence?
