↵The headbutt from Algeria’s keeper alone will bring up the name Zinedine Zidane once again, but here’s the great irony: Yahoo had a story on the same day as this game reporting that Zidane is functioning in an advisory role for Algeria. Somehow, I don’t think this was what they had in mind. (And yes, I realize he’s working with them for the World Cup, but still, the point stands.)
