Algeria opened the scoring in their match against heavily favored Belgium with a Sofiane Feghouli penalty in the 24th minute before Belgium came back to win 2-1. After sealing the unexpected lead, Feghouli and several of his teammates ran to the corner flag and celebrated by kneeling down together.

據雅虎體育6月18日報道，在阿爾及利亞對小組種子隊比利時的比賽開場24分鐘時，阿爾及利亞的費古力 （Sofiane Feghouli）憑借點球助阿爾及利亞領先。盡管最后比利時以2:1追回贏得比賽。在贏得這個出乎意料的領先后，費古力以及他的隊友跑到了球場角落的國旗下，雙膝跪地以示慶祝。

The subdued celebration contrasts with the dances and general craziness we've seen from others at the World Cup, but it's been a customary goal celebration for Muslim players, like the Algerians, for some time now.

這種壓抑的慶祝方式同我們在世界杯上看到的其他國家以跳舞和各種瘋狂行為來慶祝的方式大有不同。但對穆斯林球員來說，這是一種通常的慶祝方式。比如阿爾及利亞隊，這樣的慶祝已經有一段時間了。

What they did was a Sujud — a prayer position in which the forehead, nose, hands, knees and toes all touch the ground — which delighted Muslim fans on social media. Chelsea's Demba Ba is a well known practitioner of the Sujud as a goal celebration and it was even added to FIFA 14...

他們所做的其實就是跪拜——是一種祈禱的方式，當祈禱時，你的前額，鼻子，雙手，膝蓋和腳趾都必須緊貼大地——這種慶祝方式讓社交網絡上的穆斯林球迷感到非常高興。切爾西隊的登巴巴（Demba Ba）是這種進球慶祝方式——跪拜——的知名踐行者。他的這種跪拜方式甚至被加入FIFA14這一足球游戲中。

BBC pundit and former England player Gary Lineker had to apologize in 2012 when he described a similar goal celebration by joking that the players involved "ate grass." Lineker later said, "I'm sorry but I'm not aware of every player's religion."

BBC解釋了這一行為，前英格蘭球員加爾·萊因克爾必須為他在2012年的言論道歉，當時，他將一個類似的慶祝方式描述成跪拜的運動員仿佛在“吃草”。萊因克爾接著解釋道：“我很抱歉，但是我當時沒有意識到那是球員的宗教信仰。”

Maybe now that it's been done at the World Cup, the increased exposure will help prevent others from making a similar mistake.

也許現在這種方式在世界杯上的頻繁曝光能夠幫助防止其他人犯同樣的錯誤。
