Stickers: World Cup Day 11

     Today's predictions: Belgium 2 Russia 0, South Korea 0 Algeria 2 and USA 0 Portugal 4.

     I get half of the Rio stadium that hosts Belgium v Russia and half of the Porto Allegre stadium where Korea v Algeria is played.  In the first game, Belgium win it with a late goal but sadly for my betting fail to get a second.  Prince Harry lookalike Kevin de Bruyne plays and Dries Mertens supplies a number of chances down the right.
     The Korea v Algeria game is more goal packed than the prediction; Algeria becoming thee first African side to score four in a World Cup finals and Korea getting two in reply. Islam Slimani gets the opener for Algeria but Crystal Palace's Adlene Guedioura failed to make their squad.  And the game was 2-0 for a full ten minutes.
     The USA come within a whisker of knocking Portugal out but a last minute equaliser makes it 2-2.  The man who scores that equaliser, Silvestre Valera, is one of the Portuguese stickers I get. Twice.  The other is the defender whose injury against Germany ended his World Cup, Fabio Coentrao. Twice.  A 'convenient' draw between the States and Germany will eliminate Portugal anyway.
     The Honduras team group means that I have now put a sticker on the last blank page.
