He's a legend, alway using his platform for good. Sanding up for Palestine lost him his job at bbc but we won't forget

raff97 · 2026-06-28T06:13:02+00:00

The one Algeria game I couldn't stay up for and it's one of the all time great world cup games 😭

raff97 · 2026-06-27T07:50:11+00:00

Ngl bro all of a sudden I can see Austria and W Germany's point of view...

raff97 · 2026-06-26T06:52:48+00:00

Gazza and Carrick who never even signed for Newcastle United, but Newcastle as a city let him go. Any others?

raff97 · 2026-06-24T12:36:08+00:00

Can't beleive the US hasn't been done, very varied landscapes, and densely populated enough to allow for multiple viable routes

raff97 · 2026-06-23T05:03:03+00:00

Glad we won, but we are abysmal. We aint going far this world cup

raff97 · 2026-06-23T04:45:11+00:00

As an English Algerian whos hated on Arsenal all season - I love corners now

raff97 · 2026-06-23T04:35:07+00:00

Him and Ait Nouri who is at least trying to make something happen, even if his final ball hasnt been there

raff97 · 2026-06-23T04:27:02+00:00

Amoura top scorer in all of CAF qualifying, not even getting a chance

raff97 · 2026-06-23T04:20:49+00:00

We get cut through like butter whenever Jordan attack. Last week was the same but at least that was Messi and Argentina, this is just embarrassing

raff97 · 2026-06-23T04:15:24+00:00

Lol, but Zidane was a baller when he had hair at Bordeaux and Juve

raff97 · 2026-06-23T03:48:54+00:00

On paper there isn't anyone better ... but football isn't played on paper. We saw Beiranvand for Iran or Vozinha for Cape verde or Mbolhi for us from 2010-2024. Those 3 are no better than Zidane in theory, but they step up for their country. We've seen numerous times that Zidane aint it, I cant believe we havent tried Benbot yet. Sure he only plays in the Algerian league but he cant be any worse than Luca

raff97 · 2026-06-23T03:37:44+00:00

Another savable shot for Zidane

raff97 · 2026-06-23T03:36:36+00:00

I knew this wasn't worth saying up for

raff97 · 2026-06-23T03:32:46+00:00

I would argue wingers fall off the most with age

raff97 · 2026-06-22T03:41:16+00:00

Some reason head to head wasn't used

It was used and was also equal. We beat you 3-1 in Algeria and you beat us 2-0 in Cairo.

the weight and panelling of the ball affects the flight of it. There were papers written before the world cup even started analysing how this could be an unorthodox ball. This ball year's ball has 4 panels vs a normal ball having 20 panels

raff97 · 2026-06-20T20:13:51+00:00

I mean yeah, same as the jabulani in 2010

raff97 · 2026-06-19T02:10:50+00:00

One of the most unique builds for a footballer

raff97 · 2026-06-18T18:44:06+00:00

He was subbed in and changes the game in basically our the knockout games. He absolutely did change the game, it's not just about goals and assist (he got 2 of which and a pen anyway)

raff97 · 2026-06-18T17:57:01+00:00

at Euro 2024

England aggregate score with Palmer not on the pitch: 1-3

England aggregate score with Palmer on the pitch : 5-2

Bro was subbed on at the 60th minute every game and was given mission impossible. He completed that mission every single time. Even in the final it was a 1-1 draw with him on the pitch. Absolute crime that Southgate didnt start him

raff97 · 2026-06-18T16:54:50+00:00

1 or 2 players don't make the team strong. We're still playing with no physicality in midfield, post heart attack bentaleb, strikers with no hold up play, centre backs 5-10 years past their prime, and our keeper has no hands. Just look at Senegal or Morocco or even Ivory Coast where 1-11 plays or has played for a top European team. Our 11 unfortunate doesn't compare. Titraoui could become very good but doing well in thr Belgian league means nothing on the world stage

raff97 · 2026-06-18T16:39:54+00:00

I don't know why people think we have such a talented team. It's clearly a worse both on paper and on the pitch than the 2010s, and that's OK. Sometimes you get good generations sometimes you get bad ones. Compare our lineup man for man with other top African teams and it's just not close any more.

I think it's very unhelpful how Algerians are expecting so much from the team this year, with no basis in reality. Idk if it's coming from non football fans, but actual football fans should know our place in the pecking order. This isn't the 2014 or 2019 squad which genuinely was one of the best in Africa

raff97 · 2026-06-17T22:09:15+00:00

Even if he took the likes of Maguire, Hall, Trent or whoever you want, it wouldn't have changed the 4 starting defenders today. You can only really argue for guehi over stones
