Then there were 10!




Algeria run Germany close!



France scored twice in the final 
11 minutes in Brasilia to 
beat Nigeria and reach 
the World Cup quarter-finals.

A very tight exciting game between
Germany and Algeria, that went full term
without a goal. The deadlock was broken 
in the second minute of extra time
by Andre Schurrle with a cheeky flick
that found the back of the net.
Mesut Ozi scored in the 119th minute
to make it 2-0.

Then after 120 minutes Abdelmoumene Djabou 
arrived on a great cross to bury at the back post
to see the game end 2-1.

The Little Football Fan thought 
Rais Mbolhi - Algerian goalkeeper, 
was sensational!

Then there were 12!



Costa Rica will play the Netherlands 
in the quarter-finals of the World Cup 
after defeating Greece on penalties.


Penalty Drama in Brazil!



Wonderful game of football
between Costa Rica and Greece,
but ending in heartache for 
the Greeks, as 
Theofanis Gekas missed his penalty!
Costa Rica won 5 - 3.
