*Official* Argentina vs Germany (Quarter-Final Three)

[Jarquis]

**** off McDonalds. I put Mertersacker in my team :'(

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Worst quarter-final or later drubbing since 1966 (Germany - Uruguay 4-0)

Loladona

Fair play to Muller too. Knows he's missing the semi, but still on the lap of honour with his teammates. Fair play young man. Boy's not 21 til September.

 

[Quaggas]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of over-hyped players. Buahahahaha!

National team coaching #101

When alternatives are Nicolás Otamendi and Javier Zanetti, pick the latter.

Dont you read other threads? Coaching means nothing

It's as if England got knocked out again but I'm smiling

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Jesus, Argentina really packed it in there. No heart at all.

 

[The Sean]

That pass from Ozil is just as good on second viewing. WAG.

As good a performance as I've seen for a very long time.
Outstanding in all areas, and brilliant attitude to boot.

Tbf, Germany have Jogi Löw as coach and are still winning.

Well, that wasn't a surprise.

Messi is still some way off Maradona, Pele and even Zidane in the greatness stakes, maybe that was Maradona's plan all along. Should have taken a leaf or two out of Tevez's book today.

And yeah, even England look much better in retrospect.

I fancy my man Xavi to give this German midfield a thing or two to think about. If they get there, that is.

I know you're not making a big deal of it, but I really hope that sort of view doesn't gain enough currency to mask our deficincies in this tournament

Not defending his performance today which was below par but the system employed by Maradonna did not allow his to express himself.He was dropping many times to get the ball as the link between mid field and defense was just non existent.Still young though hope he maintains his touch and make a better fist of it next time around.

I don't want Klose to break Ronaldo's WC goalscoring record.

 

[Quaggas]

I don't want Klose to break Ronaldo's WC goalscoring record.

TBF, perhaps these two should not count, since the opposition was so poor.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

This is now headline news on Norwegian TV...

sport taking too much place in our society?

 

[GIMH]

Argies crying should always be headline news tbf

 

[BoyBrumby]

I don't want Klose to break Ronaldo's WC goalscoring record.

No, him being level with Gerd Muller is a big enough insult. It's like Clayton Lambert having the same average as Bradman.

Not Test standard eh?

A serious question, when comparing players, do football fans count the goals against North Korea and other countries with bad teams?
