I expected Algeria to be strong, but it was even harder than I thought.
Overall a slightly deserved victory though. Algeria was better in the 1st half but failed to score, we were better in the 2nd half and failed to score (a lot) and we were better in the overtime. Algeria barely attacked after the goal, I guess they were out of power.
Lahm was bad in midfield but great as a defender. I hope Löw finally acknowlegded that. Mustafi not being able to play should help as well.
Khedira was surprisingly strong after his horrible performance against Ghana.
Neuer was amazing.
Schürrle great.
Özil losing nearly every ball.
Algeria is barely comparable to the playstyle of France. It's not gonna be easy either way, but I see us playing better than this game (especially in the 1st half).
