About this match

In 1982, Algeria produced one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history by beating West Germany 2-1 in their opener — but they were eliminated after the infamous 'Disgrace of Gijon,' when Germany and Austria engineered a 1-0 result that knocked the Algerians out despite a better campaign. Now the North African team faces Messi's three-time world champion Argentina, seeking a fitting farewell on American soil. It is the meeting of two schools that know the pain and glory of the World Cup all too well.
