WE SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST! Algeria and Austria could have coasted and taken a simple draw to move on, but neither team wanted that and they played an all-time classic while doing everything in their power to eliminate the other. After some slow play, Austria struck first thanks to a gorgeous feed from David Alaba. Then as a preview for the later craziness, the corner flag keeps the ball in to allow Belghali to find a way into the box and blast it into the goal. Somehow that was only the appetizer. Austria took the lead back in the 2nd half thanks to a well-placed shot from Sabitzer and they looked in control. But then something miraculous happened. Back in 1982, Austria screwed over Algeria in their final group game. 24 years later, Riyad Mahrez refused to let Austria do it again. He looked like a man possessed and willed Algeria back into the game. His 95th minute goal looked like the winner only for Austria to tie it on the literal final play of the game. Bravo to both these squads

WOW. That was one of the craziest games I’ve ever been too. Going there because of the scenario I thought it would finish 0-0. Boy was I wrong . The game was perfectly dramatic. The fans of both teams were amazing. Amazing atmosphere. Best atmosphere that stadium has ever seen definitely. Then seeing the drama that unfolded on social media after was hilarious. In my opinion being there I didn’t feel as if Algeria was letting them score in the end. I think the result was as fair as it could be. Neither team could defend the other one and the scoreline reflects it.

Paraguay and Australia, take notes. You can still draw and have an absolute banger of a game. That's what we saw here. These teams deserve to be in the knockout rounds. Not Paraguay and Australia's little BS.

I was convinced this would be a boring ass draw. Couldn't have been more wrong. Already a banger at 2-2 and then to have Austria get gutted and then find a lifeline in the last minute of injury time is emotional whiplash. That stadium must be hopping now.

Draw haters gotta take the L on this one. Match of the group stage by miles. Iran suffer the most devastating world cup group stage elimination since at least Algeria in 1982 and maybe ever. Two Austria goals, two Algerian equalizers, and for a while at the end, two parked buses. But, Austria fell asleep and were headed home when Algeria pounced out of nowhere. Except, there was one last twist as they equalized at 90’ + 6’ despite the referee calling for only 4 minutes of added time.

What a way to end the group, as both teams will qualify for the knockout rounds with a draw. What a class game to watch, and it was worth watching.

Group Stage game of the tournament and it was the final one to end. Unbelievable ending. A game of responses. Marko Artnautovic scores the first of the game for Austria. Belghali scores the first for Algeria. 10 minutes later Marcel Sabitzer scores and re takes the lead. 5 minutes later its Algerias best player ever Riyad Mahrez to tie it up. And this game got really funny around the 70th minute because Algeria was just passing it around and looked like they wanted the draw which would advance both teams. Then they saw a slip of play and it was Mahrez again to score in the 93rd. And with that goal it looked like the Austrians were knocked out. But with a bit of luck and many men in the box they tied it up in the 96th and might give us the most desperate of goals this tournament. We'll see about that though. That goal means both teams move on, and Iran the last team on the chopping block gets eliminated. That sucks I would hate to be on that side of things.

Easily the best soccer game I have ever watched if I was an Iran fan you would never see me again. Also, Ibrahim Maza is a superstar and looks like he could have started for Germany if he wanted to.

Of course the final match of the Group Stage ends on the most epic draw of all time and they BOTH ADVANCE. Iran I’m so sorry.
