incredible scenes post-second half hydration break. at first, both teams afraid to commit to anything because they can’t tell at all what the other team is thinking. austria decides they’re happy to let algeria keep the possession, and algeria passes the ball around for a couple of minutes before they lowkey decide that they’re going to do some backstabbing. more passing, lulling austria into a false sense of security. ait nouri sends a warning. austria unmoved, algeria go back to passing between their back four. they must be at least 50 passes deep before they send that ball through the line. all 11 austrian men caught completely flat footed 😭😭😭😭 they’ve been knocked out, yet they come back with an insane header to bring themselves back. no words. 😭😭😭😭😭
