Argentina - Germany is too close to call, I want Germany to win obviously, as for the other game, anything but a victory in 90 minutes for Spain would be a sensation
-
In order for Argentina to win, Mascherano is going to need an absolutely amazing game. He'll need to stop Ozil because Demichelis and Burdisso will be not only too busy with Klose but won't be able to handle Klose. Their sidebacks also won't be able to handle Mueller and Podolski. This has the blueprint of a high scoring classic though since Argentina's deadly 3 can do damage. I'm leaning towards Germany

its gon be argentina and spain when its all said and done

"The Argentinians provoke and are always whingeing to the referee to try
and
change his opinion. It starts before the match. You see their body language, how they
gesticulate, how they try to influence the referee. That is not part
of the game. That is a lack of respect. They are like that."- Schweinsteiger.
Heinze where you at? lololol

There's some bad blood because 4 years ago when they lost in the penalty shootout they starting talking shit and pushing, hitting players, which led to Frings being banned for the semifinal because he defended himself - and he was a very imporant player at this point.
Also, after the "friendly" game back in March or so, Maradona pretended to not know who Müller is and left the press conference, which was very disrespectful.

Yep I remember that game. Typical Argentina. Mexico faces Argentina plenty of times to see that most of the time they always bust that bullshit.

Argentina
Spain
Holland
Uruguay
-
Spain will obviously win from Paraguay.
Argentina-Germany could be a close call, but it could also be an easy win for Germany. We'll see, but I'm rooting for Argentina.
-
Fuck Argentina. I think they'll take it though.

Argentina only lost that game because because the German-Jewish Argentine coach decided with only a 1 goal lead that both Riquelme and Crespo were okay to be put on the bench, and the usual replacement for Crespo, Messi, wasn't put in. Riquelme had no usual replacement. He was a game finisher and a great time killer with his ball holding skills. And people said I was stupid to say the fix was in.
The fix will not be in this time. Schweinsteiger and his Nazi heritage is going back to Germany sooner than later.

There is difference between having your native people cross-bread with Europeans, mainly Spanish, and having a coach whose grandparents came from Eastern Europe.
And regardless of what the coach is or was. He purposely sabotaged that game. Taking Crespo out is one thing. Even keeping Messi on the bench is understandable. But removing your best all around player and top ball controller at a time when you need to hold on to the ball and run the clock as well as have an opportunity to make a play if need be is absolutely ridiculous. It's not like subbing Riquelme wit the lead was common in that tournament. It wasn't done before, so why do it now?
-
Argentina doesn't really have native people, it's the least indigenous of the Americas.
Having two holding midfielders is better than having one holding midfielder and a tired Riquelme.
-
So you're saying the coach wanted Germany to win because his grandparents are from Europe? Nigga you on crack?
Maradona is a worse coach, hands down. Nigga gon fail under pressure. It's just that Argentina hasn't had a tough game yet. Their group was easy as shit and against Mexico they have been bailed out by Rosetti, this fucking bastard.

The thing that I'm realizing though is that Maradona doesn't even run the team, he's just there for the players.

It's one thing to not think it was fixed. But to think it was a good coaching decision is absurd. The best bet strategically for that match was to take off the old and tired Crespo and replace him with Messi. The coach changed the hole line up for the game against Germany and brought on guys as subs that hadn't played at all prior to that game. It'll take a lot for me to convince anyone that soccer is fixed, but it shouldn't take much to show you terrible coaching cost them the game against Germany.
It's very simple; you keep Riquelme on and you bring on Cambiassio for Gonzalez, then you take of Crespo and bring on Messi. Losing their goalie to injury, and what should have been a red card on Klose I think it was, probably hurt strategy a bit, but bringing in Julio Cruz and keeping Gonzalez on is just plain stupid. You need some sort of offensive playmaking ability if you give up a goal in the last 15 minutes. Tevez hadn't played many full games at that point and would have been tired, and with out Messi or Riquelme to be creative he wasn't much of a threat. And since I was saying this at the very moment Camciasso was brought on for Riquelme and and was screaming when I saw Cruz come in, this isn't a case of hindsight being 20/20. It was bad movie when it happened.
-
Argentina simply because they're gonna score goals regardless, their defense doesn't have to be amazing just solid for them to win and obviously Spain are going to destroy Paraguay unless they do their usual and bottle it, which i highly doubt

Cambiasso for Riquelme was good at the moment, and plenty of managers would do that move again. Riquelme wouldn't have been a useful player in the ET, might as well try to protect the lead. But that's just me...and I doubt the "fix was in" if me and other managers would have done the same thing.

If you would do the same thing in hindsight then I don't want to talk to you about soccer ever again. No manager would do it again, unless they wanted to get fired. It's simple. He was fired for that move. If you were a manager you would do things that purposely get you fired. Good for you.
Cambiasso for Gonzalez was the better move, and Messi for Crespo.

Yeah, I'm the ONLY person that would dare to put two holding midfielders to protect a lead come on man.

Always go with the high percentage move

Always go with the high percentage move
Why are we arguing. It's like saying I'd go with the field goal if I knew it was going to miss. If you know the kick will be missed you'd go for it on 4th down. Even if it was 4th and 50. Because you know the field goal will be no good.
So in Argentina's case, if you know the Germans will tie it and you still play the safe defensive subs and leave no play makers on the offense to get a goal in ET then you deserve to get fired. I know it a stupid hypothetical. But I said in hindsight it was a bad move and you still tried to disagree. The substitutions lead to a goal. So if you could go back and change it you'd change the substitutes. It's simple. It doesn't mean in the next game the next year would you change the philosophy. It might work the next time. But in the time you know it won't work, if you go with it anyway you're a twit. You get what I'm saying?

What a bunch of bums. Let me be very clear when I say this game was not fixed in any way. Argentina just couldn't make anything happen. And they deserved to lose.
But I'm calling Uruguay in the final right now. Germany will think they have it in the bag and end up losing due to overconfidence.

paraguay played pretty fuckin good this game was exciting i say its gon be spain/uruguay finals
-
Spain is not playing good at all, especially comparing to Eu 08. But Villa is in such incredible form. But he can't save them every single time, probably...

Paraguay should have had that first goal count and they should have had the PK taken again because of encroachment.

The spain of tonight is not good enough to beat germany.

I agree about the encroachment but the offside was legit. Cardozo was part of the play, you don't need to touch the ball for it to be offside.

He wasn't any more offside that Klose was. And Klose was yesterday.
Either way, bad calls or not Paraguay had the chances to wrap it up and they couldn't. Unlike yesterday where Argentina simply couldn't create any real chances.
edit - unlike earlier today with Argentina.

lmfao argentina got owned like a little bitch. 4-0 WHAT THE FUCK?!? I can't handle it. i have to post about this later, it's too crazy
i havent seen the spain game. but i have talked to some pseudo-spainiard about it while celebrating the win of my team. he was quite embarrassed. he was like "well we dont have that many foreigners in our team"... i was like "well we attract many people to our great country, we also have YOU in our country, so you might as well fuck off asshole" we almost got into a fight.

Argentina just didn't know how to handle that defense. Messi was off and with that goes all the play making, and Tevez seemed tired very early. The Argentine defense was what it was supposed to be, a mediocre group that relies on the offense to keep the ball and score. I still think Riquelme would have been the difference in this cup.
-
Argentina could have done with veron helping messi out in the game, kinda like xavi does for messi at barcelona. Regardless argentina got murrrrrrrked. And i was pleased. Schweinsteiger and Khedira had the mid on LOCK and thats there the game was won. I still think spain will beat them though. But you never know, germany are the form team with confidence.
-
Boca Juniors was doing better without Riquelme, he comes back and they're not even a top ten team in their league. The role of the playmaker is dead in modern football. You need players that can do much more than just receive the ball, slow the tempo and pass.

All the credit to Paraguay, they did exactly what they wanted to do and had clearer chances. That's how it is sometimes.

I still think Messi would have been the man of the team. I just think Riquelme would have meant another player with a touch. The way Argentina was this year it was only Messi feeding guys and no one to feed him. With Riuelme being able to set up plays he'd garner attention leaving Messi free to receive some well placed passes, instead of just making them.
I think Argentina's real downfall was they had no one to combat the rough and dirty play of the Germans. And I'm not really sure how you do it in soccer anyway. In hockey they have guys like Scott Stevens. when Jersey would play a team like Philly, Philly would use their muscle to throw around the Devils and free up room for talented players. But then Scott Stevens would absolutely obliterate someone in the centre of the ice and all of a sudden the Flyers got worried. It was like getting hit mid air by Ray Lewis. In soccer you can't body check to begin with legally. And as much as I would have like to seen Mueler get punted in the head, it would have cost the team a player to do that.
Germany could have been shaken up by one dynamite Messi goal. The kind of goal Maradona scored against England (the second goal), but Messi didn't have it in him today.

nigga what the fuck are you talking about? dirty play? loool we stripped them off the ball legally and disrupted their passing lanes all the time. what the fuck is dirty about that? they got laid out east coast style. plus, müller is the best new/young player of the tournament. why are you hating?

true.+ Capdevilla- Pique- Ramos- Puyol is another league than Otamendi & co.
Plus Müller is missing because of a yellow card which was a complete joke.
Spain was poor yesterday, but the semifinal 'll be a different game. No matter what happens in the last 2 games, we can say that germany saved the tournament. There have been some dramatic games lately, but we provided quality football. I'm really scared, we actually play good football, why nations like Netherlands or Brasil play like Germans. This is weird.

capdevilla is crap

Spain was poor yesterday, but the semifinal 'll be a different game. No matter what happens in the last 2 games, we can say that germany saved the tournament. There have been some dramatic games lately, but we provided quality football. I'm really scared, we actually play good football, why nations like Netherlands or Brasil play like Germans. This is weird.

Agreed. This definitely won't be remembered as a great and entertaining world cup, Germany is basically the only team that plays nice football and has some dramatic moments. Very disappointed with Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Spain, Portugal, England, Netherlands, France....

Spain is not playing good at all, especially comparing to Eu 08. But Villa is in such incredible form. But he can't save them every single time, probably...
The spain of tonight is not good enough to beat germany.
another 4-0
Spain's midfield > Argentina's midfield
Different game
true.+ Capdevilla- Pique- Ramos- Puyol is another league than Otamendi & co.
Plus Müller is missing because of a yellow card which was a complete joke.

Get over yourself. You guys beat England in large part to a bad British squad and a disallowed goal, and you beat Argentina because the little Argentines were just muscled off the ball by the big Germans. You want to use body strength in football, try American Football. I'd pay money to see Mueller go up for a header against Ray Lewis. But Ray might not get the head, but he's likely to take 3 German heads off trying.
The point is, the quality of your ball was nothing special. You may just end up winning but it won't be out of ball skill. It'll be size and strength. I'm still holding out for Uruguay. The Hands of God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are you talking shit? Many attacks and goals by Germany were truthfully beautiful and skilled! We do great give and go passes, fast plays, fast sprints, everythin! Lol@saying Müller is outmuscleing niggas. He plays the smartest passes of the tournament, it has nothing to do with strength or size.

Football knowledge FAIL !
Germany is playing a superior football right now, you noticed how when germany has the ball on the opposites site and they dont rush things 9 out of 10 times they gonna produce a goal scoriing chance.
2nd thing is their counter attacks are executed so well, they spread the game without losing the connection between each other, and strength got nothing to do with it a Muller,Ozil and Lahm are nothing physicly compared to the Defenders of Argentina and England, their advance is that they are well prepared for matches, and they have a good chemistry and a good passing game.
Plus their defense is amazing they are playing "total football" the stuff Holland evented back in they days, they switch from attacking formation which is like a offensive 4-4-2 system to a defensive formation 4-4-1-1, Schweinsteiger and Khedira switch positions very often, which can be very confusing for the attacking players.Schweinsteiger and Khedira basicly play as Box-To-Box midfielders.To play that system you need 2 brilliant midfielders who basicly can play every positon starting from DM to AM, Schweinsteiger showed exactly how to play that role in the game against Argentina, Messi and Tevez couldnt do shit without either Schweinsteiger or Khedira on their back.
All this isnt just a coincidence, Germany has shown the greatest improvement since the EC in 2000, after they went home early in that tournament they decided that its time for a drastic change, they opened up hundrests of youth camps across germany (So did all the major german clubs), they invested cca.30 mil euros in youth development.They even gave thri U16 team a psychologist and a psychotherapeuth, which nobody does at that age.And it paid of not just on this tournament but on last years U21 EC which they have won beating England 4-0 (sounds familiar right).

Germany is playing a superior football right now, have you noticed how when germany has the ball on the oposites site and they dont rush things 9 out of 10 times they are going to produce a goal scoring chance.And its not just that, their counter attacks are lethal they know how to spread the game but at the same time never lose contact to each other, which is very important.
Physical strength has nothing to do with their domination, A Muller,Ozil,Lahm,Marin and so on are nothing compared physicly to the defenders of Argentine or England,its just that their game is more cohesive, they know how their teammates move on the pitch, their pass game is brilliant.Just look at those double passes they do without even looking where the next man is.
Another major aspect is that the germans are always well prepared, they play "total football" the style Holland invented back in the days which means everybody plays attack and everybody plays defence, just look how they switch up systems from a very wide and offensive 4-4-2 to an defensive 4-4-1-1, which doesnt sound that great when u read it but its a major deal.The main 2 guys are Schweinsteiger and Khedira...they are playing an amazing WC, they switch positions very often which can be very confusing for attacking players, AND Schweinsteiger and Khedira both play as "box-to-box" midfielders...thats something i havent seen done that good on this tournament (Englad tried it but failed because they are too egoistic in my eyes), Look at Schweinsteiger he is playing everything from DM to AM, the game yesterday for example Messi and Tevez couldnt do shit withouth either Schweinsteiger or Khedira on their back.
All this isnt a coincidence,Germany has improved the most since the EC in 2000, after losing very early in that Tournament they decided to change things drasticly.So they started hundrets of youth camps all over germany (so did the major german clubs), they invested cca. 30 mil euros in youth development.They gave their U16 team a Psychotherapeut and a Psychologist which no other national association does,and it paid of not just on this tournament but on the U21 EC last year where they beat England in the finals 4-0 (sounds familiar right)

Why are you talking shit? Many attacks and goals by Germany were truthfully beautiful and skilled! We do great give and go passes, fast plays, fast sprints, everythin! Lol@saying Müller is outmuscleing niggas. He plays the smartest passes of the tournament, it has nothing to do with strength or size.
That shit they were doing on the corners were they had their hands down and pretending they weren't doing anything. The look on their faces I'd imagine is the exact same look SS soldiers at the death camps had on their faces. Dirtiest players of the tourney.
My father said yesterday, Argentina should have just let Greece win and play Germany instead. We may not have won the game, but after how the German and Greek governments fucked over the Greek workers in the past months my boys would have ended that game with some good old fashioned violence.

Every team does that in corner kicks. If you want to look at dirty players, look at Heinze.

You Greeks are lucky we didn't let your faggot heritage go brankrupt... it was a big mistake to include your lazy and useless people in our Euro currency.

Our faggot heritage is the only reason you're not still wearing helmets with horns on them and fighting bears in the wild as a right of passage. The way I see it, you owe us. There'd be no euro currency to speak of, and you couldn't bail out anyone with Walrus tusks and red beans, or whatever it was the Germanic tribes used for bartering.

Don't get me wrong, I like Plato and Sokrates, but they still had a bunch of kinaidos to share, and you Greeks simply live too much off of your glory past - it's 2300 years ago nigga, that's part of why your people has to bailed out by much more functional states, because the average dim-witted gyros-serving waiter still thinks he's a philosopher and a co-founder of democracy.
Aren't you Canadian anyways? You lost to Switzerland, Sweden, Czech Republic and Russia :D In ice-hockey!! ;)

First of all, you brought up the past with the faggot reference. Secondly, the troubles in Greece have more to do with an overly socialist Government forcing ideals on a simple Greek people. And thirdly, I may be a Canadian citizen (who actually cheers for Russia in Hockey because I like their style of play), but both my parents were born and raised in Greece.
And both of Schweinsteiger's parents were the children of Nazi war criminals. If there wasn't at least 5 death camp guards with the name Schwein-steiger, I'll take back my argument.

I meant the ancient past. Not the obvious recent past of the German players, the ones that actually are German anyway. Poland should actually have a decent team if they were allowed to keep their players. Maybe the old Schweinsteigers of the death camps madea deal with the Poles they were killing. Give us your best players and will kill you faster and easier.

There's a true possibility taht nobody would know who Klose or Podolski are if their parents would have never come to Germany.
For every German player with foreign roots, there are 10 players who are raised and learn the game in Germany, then play for other countries they only know from vacations.
Well, for a country who has lost 2 world wars and has Nazi heritage we damn sure have many foreigerns who like to live here and some of them happen to play great football. Can't say the same for Poland.. or Greece.. or any Eastern European country :D Why did your parents leave Greece for boring ass Canada if your country is so great?
