The goal made from Slovenia could of been saved, but that's how it is in the game. I do hope best of luck for Algeria.

I just wanna say GRATZ to Slovenia. They were working for this match all year long... Algerians are good too. But gratz too Koren and clumsy Chauchi who failed on that Jabulani... Good luck too both teams..
