Popworldcupjustice: Germany vs Algeria

GERMANY V ALGERIA

Guest referee: Invader Girl — Popstar

Germany32 Theme tune to Lindenstrasse

“Why does this German soap theme sound like it is set in the Wild West? It's very mis­lead­ing. The intro promises drama, then delivers Clint Eastwood. Lindenstrasse is not the address of John Wayne. Where are all the mis­treated Native Americans? Where are all the white men in mildly offensive face paint dressed as mis­treated Native Americans? Not on Lindenstrasse that's where, because it's not a Western. I feel betrayed. My kraut is sauer.”

Algeria32 Theme tune to Nass Mlah City 2

“Algeria haven't got any soaps of their own appar­ently, but don't you go feeling sorry for them now because this comedy show theme has everything. Excitement. Suspense. Cheap synth guitar. Sneaky sounding strings. Mysterious sexy lady voices.  Then when you least expect it: BAM! Algerian rap. ALGERIAN RAP! It's like the Algerian Vengaboys. It blew my mind. It made me want to leave my life behind to become a snake charmer. Or a belly dancer. Or an Algerian rapper. It made me want to go on a bad package holiday. Also, where the hell is Algeria?"

Invader Girl's full time score:

Germany 0 — Algeria 3
