WC Quarter-Final: Germany - Argentina {P & R}

[Juventino]

Congrats to the Germans.

IFFF Italy make it through, I fear the worst. I think there are some bad feelings left from the 4-1 in Florence.

The "nice" was sarcastic, just on the 1% chance you didn't get that.

Actually, he was pretty obviously waving to the fans, but when you're German and on a world wide stage, maybe you can get your arm and hand at a different angle. It looks bad you know?

I thought he just pumped his fist. Eitherway, I heard that you can get arrested in Germany for doing the 'heil' thing.

 

[jumbo]

hopefully the germans don't reach the final.

That substitution rule involving injuries should really be changed...shame that such a massive game was influenced so much by that rule.

wasn't pointing anything at you before m8, just Podolski.


about the gesture, I say people don't usually wave like that.

I'm not familiar with Podolski's family background or anything but he is Polish. My knowledge of surname etymology withholding, isn't he a Jew?

F*CK! WE ARE NOT GOING to get a f*cking repeat with Germany vs Brazil in the final

I don't care I'll fly to Germany and cut everyone down with my AKM

He did it with his LEFT arm, so no big deal. AND WHO THE HELL GIVES A ****

Both teams deserved to win today but the home team had the advantage with 66,000 behind them cheering them on. Great game.

Germany could only win by penalty shoot-out.

Argentina can't even win by a penalty shoot-out.

and some calls

 

[klear]

Awful game. Only real bright spark was the well-worked German goal. Borowski is a brilliant player. Get him on from the start.

I think the less said about the Argentinian coach the better. No Messi. No Saviola. Speaks for itself. Credit to Germany though. We'll see you in the final.

 

[newbie original]

I don't think thta Pekerman can be blamed...most coaches would elect to shut it down in that situation...shame that Messi couldn't do his thing though.

 

[Fernandez]

Why should it be changed? It's all up to luck and this proves his tactical adaptibility in matches. I don't think the game was influenced by the injuries.

 

[King]

The best game of the WC for me!!!!! Great performance by both the teams!! Great match!!! Great atmosphere!!!! Excellent penalty kicks!!!!

 

[teccomin]

and some calls

I support Germany, but i can't help to say that some calls did went in German's favour. The Maxi Rodriguez dive was close, it was really a 50/50 call for the ref but he gave it to Germany.

what rule would that be then ????
you saying you should be able to substitute a player who's injured even if you've already made 3 changes??

 

[newbie original]

...I don't think the game was influenced by the injuries.

Messi would surely have been on in extra-time had Pekerman had the 3rd substitution available.

you saying you should be able to substitute a player who's injured even if you've already made 3 changes??

Yes.

 

[Fernandez]

what rule would that be then ????
you saying you should be able to substitute a player who's injured even if you've already made 3 changes??

Yeah, I think he meant that and that injured players can be subbed and not be counted as one of the 3 subs.
