Algerian national team players are greeted by fans upon their return from the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, on July 2, 2014, in the capital Algiers. Extra-time goals by Andre Schuerrle and Mesut Ozil sealed Germany’s 2-1 win over Algeria in the last 16 clash to put the three-time winners into the World Cup quarter-finals. The victory at Porto Alegre’s Beira-Rio Stadium was Germany’s first over Algeria at the third attempt, but this was a far from impressive display by the Germans over 120 minutes.
