Video: We’re not sure if this Algerian fan was overjoyed or disturbed by their goal against Russia last night

It’s really hard to tell, but we’d imagine that his facial expressions were a rather strange way of expressing his happiness.

It’s really hard to tell, but we’d imagine that his facial expressions were a rather strange way of expressing his happiness.

Algeria qualified for the knockout stages of the World Cup thanks to a 1-1 draw with Russia last night, a draw secured thanks to a second half equaliser by Islam Slimani, who capitalised on some pretty poor goalkeeping by Igor Akinfeev to nod the ball home.

Russia have since complained that Akinfeev may have been affected by a green laser being shone in his face from the crowd, but the Algerians celebrated Slimani’s effort very heartily indeed and none more heartily than this guy…

Despite the lack of a smile on his face we assume that it was roars of joy that he was letting it out but if ever a viral video clip was set up for a screaming goats remix, it’s this one.
