[SLOVENIA-ALGERIA REPORT CARD] After England’s Robert Green, it was Algeria’s FaouziChaouchi‘s turn to give up a howler. At least Green, got his body in front of Clint Dempsey’s shot. Chaouchi failed to get his hands on
The irony, of course, was that Chaouchi was originally supposed to be suspended for the game for head-butting a referee at the African Cup ofNations, but his suspension and that of teammate Nadir Belhadji were limited by FIFA on the eve of the World Cup.
