I'm surprised any other reporters can squeeze into interviews with the amount of BBC hacks over there!

Guess thats why this guy is the captain because he best represents the Algerian team.

Went down like a sack of shit though..

My guess is that he dropped to the ground like a swatted fly and writhed around in agony for 5 minutes clutching his face, until he realised the match was over!

The Koran specifically prohibits physical harm to women - it will be interesting to see the reaction of those that threaten to kill people for publishing cartoons of the Prophet Mohamed.
