QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Jul 11 2014, 04:57 PM)  Nah, man. It's a world cup final. Everything can happen in such a big match. I just think these things just go with momentum and Germany have it all at the moment. QUOTE (dst @ Jul 11 2014, 06:09 PM) Argentina absolutely need Mascherano and I doubt he won't fight through it and play. I wouldn't rule them out if he didn't make it though. I hadn't realized that either but I just checked this and he totally touched it if you check the camera view from behind him. Nah, I don't think he touched it, in the video a bit further down on that page when the camera stays on him it's pretty obvious that he avoided touching it by ducking his shoulder |

But you can definitely see a very sudden change of direction of the ball from the back angle. Even with the back spin its direction changes too abruptly. Anyway... |

Argentina, for the players they have, have no kind of attack at all. saying that i might revert to a 0-0 extra time penalties , the Argentinians might play like Netherlands did in there last game not attack much try to when they can but sit back and just hang on. |

They play badly, so all of them are necessary for them to achieve the minimum. But they're a very bad team overall.

First refereeing error within 2 minutes, the foul was outside of the area and Silva should have probably been sent off for that, Robben was through clear on goal

Well. This WC is ending like it started. Worst refereeing since 2002 I'd say.
As for the games...well, this one blends in perfectly. Another one-sided match without any real highlight - just like the whole KO phase: a combination of stale-mate games and one-sided matches. All in all, nothing special, this WC I'll easily forget. |

There were some very entertaining games, the Germany Algeria match comes to mind, as does Chile Brasil. Think this was a good WC, had Brasil been knocked out earlier, like to Chile, Im sure Chile would have put Germany to the sword. The refereeing, i agree with you on. Otherwise how could this Brasil reach the last four? |

So I think I find Germany the lesser of two evils, so I want Argentina to lose.
