Algeria might seek the 32 year old revenge against germany!!

        It was back in 1982 that Germany and Austria played out what went down in the history books as the "Disgrace of Gijon" to eliminate Algeria from the World Cup.

On Monday in Porto Alegre, Algeria faces Germany for the first time since that infamous match — with a spot in the quarterfinals on the line.

This is likely the most uneven matchup in the Round of 16, but Germany has shown some weaknesses in group play and Algeria has shown flashes of being a threat on Monday.

Germany is obviously the heavy favorite entering the match, and one of the remaining favorites to win the World Cup.

With Ramadan set to begin over the weekend, Halilhodzic suggested that his players would receive a special dispensation from a traveling imam to avoid fasting ahead of the Germany game.

Germany, meanwhile, is in perfect health after its 1-0 win over the United States.

"We are very ambitions and we have big goals," said Thomas Mueller, the team's top scorer with four goals.

While Mueller's lineup spot is not in question, Mario Goetze should replace Lukas Podolski at the other forward position. Podolski was ruled out Saturday with an undescribed leg injury.

Loew is likely to keep defensive midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger in the lineup in place of Sami Khedira.

Schweinsteiger was praised for his performance against the Americans but he doesn't seem to have energy for more than 70 minutes after nursing a knee injury before the World Cup.

The winner at the Estadio Beira-Rio will go on to play France or Nigeria.

"We are basically taking the rivals as they come, we are focusing on ourselves. We wanted to be first in the group at any cost and we achieved it," Loew said. "It's all or nothing now."
