“Two teams who made it to the World Cup through playoffs met on Sunday, June 13, 2010 in Group C of the World Cup. It was Algeria facing Slovenia in a match that neither team could afford to lose if they wanted to have a realistic chance of getting out of the group stage. Slovenia would be slightly favored to win the match.” (The 90th Minute)
World Cup 2010: Algeria 0-1 Slovenia
“I volunteered for this game. On paper it seemed a good idea to do. I’d seen Slovenia play Spain at Euro 2000, and Slovenia are some of the loudests fans I’ve ever come across. They only really have one song: “Kdor ne skače,ni Slovenc, hej, hej, hej”. And when they sing, they jump up and down in unison, and if you’re in the upper tier of a stadium with 10,000 Slovenians ten feet away for them, you get that a great atmosphere, with the slight sense of unease that the stadium is going to collapse.” (twohundredpercent)
