Prediction Argentina 1-0
Saviola

interesting one...a draw 2-2.

Argentina 4-0 Germany

Aimar (x2); Riquelme; Saviola

Last time they played it was one of the worst and boring football game ever. It ended 1-0 for Argentina.

Now, let the game be entertaining. And Germany wins ;)

Germany 3-0

Ballack, Podolski, Heinze OG

0-0

1-0 Argentina
Heinze :p

still no Veron in the squard....:( how long had Veron not been called up? I think he is a excellent playmaker with good ball control and passing. Also he is a freekick expert. why doesnt the coach choose him??

Germany's the home team...

I say 1-0 Ballack 'cause he's resting all year for nt games. :(

Poldi is afaik not Playing.

I say 2-1 for Us... :D

Yes i know and Veron even said he felt like he was being Frozen out and he does not think he will get a call up as long as pekerman is coach

Yes. Podolski is injured. Klinsmann nominated Neuville...

why does argentina only have one goalkeeper? :crazyboy:

1-1 Kuranyi/Heinze

Veron???

Germany home team ... well thats not good enough cause always Germany keeps dissapoiting .. 2-0 for Argentina (Saviola x2)

Lucas Bernardi :rockman: :rockman: :rockman: :rockman:

the games live on FSW in Canada

I hope Pekerman keeps playing Riquelme over Aimar, he basically got ignored by Bielsa.

I doubt this will be a good match (:/)

I predict 1-2 Crespo and Aimar vs. Ballack

Sucks, they won't show the game here ;(

But I predict 2-1 for Argentina, or a plain 2-0.

1-0 Germany

Ballack

I think that Veron isn't in the squad becuase he is viewed by the argentines as a member of the failure of WC 2002 where Veron was nowhere to be found . Besides Argentina has Aimar, Riquelme and D'allesandro that are younger.

When did Heinze learn Ballet(H)?!

looks a bit crazy in that last one :(

Argentina 2-1 Germany

Heinze that traitor :(

Ballack has a cold and thus won't be playing. Furthermore Klinsmann has decided to play Lemon as gk. **** ******* ****hell :f***:

Good for Argentina. (H) :(

0-0 :p

this is a joke, but either way Argentina is WAY better than Germany (nowadays).. The only thing that gets me is that Kahn won't be playing. Klinsman has a few screws loose.

Gabriel Heinze - break a leg. You deserve it for being named after a girl and baked beans.

You forgot Santiago Solari (Real Madrid)

Why not Samuel and Ayala? :confused:

You gotta be one of the most pessimistic guys on this planet.

We're only missing Ballack, Lahm, Podolski, Huth and maybe Klose. :(

Probable lineup:

--------------------- Lemon --------------------

Owomoyela/Hinkel ----- Mertesacker ----- Wörns ( C) ---- Schulz

Schneider ----- Frings ----- Ernst ----- Schweinsteiger

--------------- Kuranyi ---- Klose/Asamoah

This would be a very colourful team with Owomoyela and Asamoah. :)

Hahaha. Germany. :(

(H)!

We're MUCH better then Argentina.

Penalty for us,Frings is shooting.

1:0. (H)!!!!!!!

GOAL!!!! :)

Asamoah is injured... :(

Klose to replace him.

Nah,Freier is coming in. :/

Yea..

The commentator of FSW Canada is damn horrible.

He calls Ernst : Schneider
The real Schneider is Frings
I don't know who Frings is yet :o

Germany 1:1 Argentina


H. Crespo gave Argentina the equalizer through PK.

KURAAAAAAAAAAANYI!!!!!!


what a GOAAAAAL


2:1 Germany

Kevin is a god from the Heaven :D
The Penalty wasn't a Penalty for me BTW. ;)

Damn, I can't watch the game:(

Kuranyi's 8th goal under Klinsmann's belt. What a crap striker. :rolleyes:


(H)

Anyone want to describe the game ? :confused:

Vince, please

Argentina is always coming over the wingers (Saviola).Heinze will get Red Card i think.Yellow - Red.I can only say Germany's better Rusi!

Yes the Brazilian scores against argentina!!
lol

-Dont want to make anyone mad, especially you rusi!

Crespo equalized. Amazing goal.

He chipped Lehmann like a ....

:rockman:

Full Time :

Germany 2:2 Argentina


Overall, Germany were alot better. They looked tired at the end, and Argentina owned then.

Good game.

So Sad.

(Y)

Our players put a lot effort into the game and deserved more. Good performance.

Oh and one thing: I bet Frings always sends his twin brother to Bayern. :(

I still don't like how Pekemerman forms the defense, there should be 3 defenders not 4 and 2 go away to never come back like on Kuranyi's goal. Plus that system makes no good for Zanetti, Sorin playing as central midfielder either. Instead of bringing Galetti aimlessy, they should've take away Duscher and bring Coloccini or even Placente instead to make the defense of 3 Coloccini-Burdisso-Heinze or Burdisso-Heinze-Placente and throw the rest forward. The failure on this match was caused for the mess thay made with the formation and the position of the players.:kader:

And last but not least, Heinze must leave "Manyoo" as soon as possible, it's doing no good for him.:kader:

PS: They said that Kuranyi was born in Central America not Brazil.:confused:

Schneider scares me. He reminds me Rammstein vocalist (H)

8 matches under Klinsmann, only 1 lost so far. This match deserved a draw by both sides. Crespo is so brilliant.

Maybe this match will make Pekerman think

Why have i not called Crespo since being coach?

:Bow: CRESPO!!!

Great game by Frings. He plays better for the national team, same with Ballack. Germany had a penalty before the first one that was not called.



Oh and Lehmann:kader: :kader:

What Lehmann?

He was playing very well!

For the second goal, he just stood there in no mans land. He wasnt challenging for the ball nor staying in net. Just froze and watched Crespo. :f***:

Right, considering he woke up on the last 20 minutes of the match the rest of the match he seemed to be asleep. Pekerman should think about not messing with players positions and get a clear defense formation, but besides he's a fine coach.

The referee was terrible he made errors for both sides.
