We have the 14th-ranked team in the world. We should’ve spanked Algeria 4-nil.

Note to the kiddies, any time you see someone purporting to be a journalist saying something like this about WC soccer, it's safe to assume he's completely unfamiliar with anything sports related outside ESPN 'horse race' American professional sports 'conventional wisdom.'
About as knowledgeable as hypothesizing that Brazil should've beaten NK eleventy billion to one, and since they only won 2-1, it's proof they were woefully unprepared for the tourney, then Paraguay beat NK 7-0, so it's clear that they're eons superior to Brazil for certain, only they ended up tying Brazil so it's clear neither team wants to be there.
