[21 years after the shame of Gijón, Germany were eliminated as
Algeria were then, mainly thanks to FIFA still allowing for
separate kick-off times enabling two teams to freeze a match at
a scoreline qualifying both and eliminating a third that had
played earlier; the 'four best third-placed teams' regulation
is decidedly unhelpful as well]
