Third day of the 'Round of 16' at the World Cup

The third day of the Football World Cup might be the day when European teams shine. France takes on Nigeria, while Germany will battle Algeria for a place in the quarter finals.

The first match of the day is scheduled at Estadio Beira Rio in Porto Alegre, where France takes on Nigeria. Enyeama is considered by most specialist France's biggest obstacle. Nigeria's goalkeeper plays at Lille in Ligue 1 and it was named by FIFA the best goalkeeper of the Group stage.

He was only beaten in the clash with Argentina by Messi two times and also had 10 saves, a record for the group stage. Hi is called “Spiderman” after the great season he had with Lille when he was beaten only 25 times. Lille had the second best defence thanks to Enyeama.

In the second match of the day, Germany takes on Algeria. Along with Costa Rica, Algeria is considered to be a big surprise. The Africans qualified out of a group with Russia, Belgium and South Korea. Germany is considered the favorite but Joachim Low will not be able to rely on Podolski who is injured. “Lukas needs two or three days of rest. If we advance in the next stage of the competition there will be no problem for him,” said Low.

The clash between Germany and Algeria is scheduled at Estadio Beira Rio in Porto Alegre at 17.00 local time.
