Posts: 266Disappointing loss for Argentina. Thought they had 3 golden chances and Messi makes the one on one 99 out of 100. Feel for the Argies as it would have been a big shot in the economy as well as their spirits. Thought the defense was great and there was a period in the last first half where Germany was sloppy. Bummed out for them and me.

Posts: 995This is Seattle vs Denver. Germany dominates in a blowout. The results of this national tragedy:
Dollars up, return of real estate bargains, chicas at 2003 prices, no more Messi endorsements of every product sold on the planet.

Venues: 398Argentina vs Germany II
I think it all hinges on what kind of day Messi has.
Argentina will play a deep defense, inviting Germany to move upfield, which should create opportunities for Messi to catch them with a thin defense.
It's unfortunate that he won't have Di Maria to feed him the ball, so let's hope that the rest of the team can step up.
Thanks,
Jax.

Posts: 2470WC Final
It ought to be a good one tonight. Germany with a very talented and organized squad, though I think the opinions of many have been swayed by the walkover against a poor Brazil side. As an Argentina fan I'm concerned about the one day less rest after a grueling win over Holland, while Germany barely worked up a sweat.
I don't think Argentina are getting enough credit from many pundits. Their defense has been one of the best in the WC. If Higuain can continue to show up to complement Messi Argentina have a shot. If Aguero can salvage a poor and injured WC with one decent performance then even more of a shot.
Pretty much a crap shoot.

Posts: 1017Argentina vs Germany.
Here we go, for all the marbles. I know AP sentiments are with Argentina. Our love-hate relationship with Argentina does want to see a last explosion of joy enveloping Argentina before the economy implodes, and bewilderment and misery encased the country for another decade. But I will go with Germany. I quote Arsene Wenger.
"It's a football country and it's a country who are realistic, and when they have a problem they sort it out and it's the same economically. You know, that Germany is doing well throughout Eucrope on the economic front and their football is well organized and they have improved their technical qualities and today, they are the most technical team at the World Cup and so that's credit to their youth work and they are rewarded now for having the right decisions. ".
Take it for what it is worth. But the quick exit of African teams are a good examples of disorganized & corrupt national football associations. We also see that Brazilian raw talent & energy has now been offset by technological & scientific advancements in training & preparation, physically, mentally, psychologically. An example, the best athletes used to go offense once upon a time, but today, defenders are on par with attackers as athletes. We are talking about size, strength, speed, etc. That is why goals are so often hard to come by.
So heres to a great game for the players and fans. No red cards, and no sour milk.
