whoops, I got to get some sleep...lol

Oh well, we can keep on discussing who deserved penalties and who didn't, but in the end the champion was Argentina and there is no discussing about that. Even though Nigeria played great, Argentina took all of their opportunities...

 

[RUSI]

Argentina can only win by two penalties??

Nigeria play a great game but lose to those diving guy

You're an idiot. Those were obvious penalties.

ROBBED I TELL YOU ROBBED, we were robbed that game should of been 3-2. Everyone could see that he would make calls nigeria. He called 2pks for them but none for us, my god this is a final call it even.


p.s. Holland fans now I know how it feels to go out from pks.

You are too biased to have a valid opinion. If the ref would have called those penalties, it would have been an outrage. And again, you weren't robbed.

Very true. Too bad for the Africans, they put up an outstanding fight.

You too seems to be a littler biased... Nigeria were robbed a penalty, and everybody who is not biased, can confirm that...

I'm not saying they would won if the pk was called, but they sure were robbed there...

Oh well, it still doesn't take any merit from what Argentina did....If we start getting that picky then we can list a couple of players from Nigeria who deserved a red card and did not get one, and that changes a lot of things....Referees are human, they cannot see nor call every penalty...It just happened that Argentina reiceived two VERY valid penalties commited by stupid fouls from the Nigerian defenders (especially the last one, the Arg. player was not even close to the goal)...

 

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

yeah, stupid penalties to give away

Nigeria's main problem over the years, has been mainly in their defences... they've got some outstanding attacking football, but always shaky defence...

 

[Yossarian]

They're a non-Northern AFrican team, so, by default, their main problems are touch (on both ends) discipline (on both ends) and timing (on both ends).


They couldn't beat a one man team, man. Granted, that one "man' is a legend in the making, but they should've put the game away in the first half. They had the possession, chances and dictated the tempo of the game and really had nothing of significance to show for it all.

why there is only one yellow card for argentina when their fouls is much more than Nigeria??

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Yes, i think it was a bit unfair with some yellow cards for Nigeria(for example the keeper's one ). As i said before this match is another example that having most of the chances doesn't grant an instant win.
