- 1st World Cup on the continent/sub-continent
- drew England and lower-tier Euro opponent in 1st 2 games
- need to beat, not draw Arab country to get through
I remember taking a long lunch during that Algeria game and watching the game on ESPN3 or whatever it was called at the time in some computer lab as I was going for my master's at the time....or maybe I was done but still had the login.
Strange thing is, going back awhile, every time the WC has been in Europe, they haven't gotten through. Every time it hasnt been in Europe, they have.
