QF: Germany vs Argentina

[MB20]

Horrible half.
We have a big problem in the midfield.
We need Veron out there to keep possesion of the ball.
Germany deserves to be up by 2 goals.

I hope we can turn it around.

[quentin_compson]

Pretty good game by Germany so far. I don't understand why the Argentinians move so poorly, to be honest. Still, they got better at the end of the half. And I think Germany will concede a goal sooner or later. Of course, the Argentinian defense looked shaky as well.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

After the first 15 minutes I thought we were gonna lose by 10, luckily the team improved after that, too bad we couldn't weather the storm early in the game. Argentina is playing way too long (that means with a lot of distance between the defenders and attackers), that allows Germany to play way to comfortable on the middle, we need to fix that. And get Veron and Pastore in there for Di Maria and Maxi Rodriguez right now. Messi the only one showing something good for us so far.

I agree, Veron and Pastore should be a nice change of pace.

[DAF86]

Messi can do everything but he can't score to save his life in this WC.

I blame the ball for that, he said that he had to adjust his shooting style 'cause this ball won't spin like the other ones, look how in Barcelona he always shoots with the inside part of the foot priorizing placement over power, and now he hits it with the upper part of the foot trying to give the shot more power.

[ffadicted]

lol vicariously living off other teams these days

lmao Heinze, what an asshole


I blame the ball for that

:rolleyes come on man....

[ElNono]

Germany >>> Argentina so far. The only reason we aren't 3-0 right now is because they can't finish for shit, but their attacks have been clear, organized and they have picked our defense appart. We on the other hand are hoping either DiMaria, Tevez or Messi manage to beat Germany on their own practically. Granted their defense isn't that pretty either, but we're expending enormous ammounts of energy trying to get a shot in while they get to ours in 4 or 5 passes. Its ridiculous.

They're defending with 9 guys. I don't care what you do, it's going to be hard to break them down.
We need more pressure and like DAF said, a couple of guys like Veron and Pastore to make the through pass.

[DAF86]

:rolleyes come on man....

You're right, I blame you and your jinxing fantasy team.

[Spurologist]

I blame the ball for that

For most of the first half: Germany.

That save by the defender was hilarious

Higuain fucking sucks. Needs his goals on a platter.

Look, you can choose to play the "hear no evil, see no evil" bullshit, I'm sorry I can't, but don't give me that "I'm glad you're happy" crap.

[quentin_compson]

Is it really Mardona who is running this team? Over here in Europe, many people think that he is there for motivating the team, while his assistant coaches are doing the tactics and stuff.

I'm not a fan of the German NT, but I'm really impressed with the way they are playing right now.

[Sense]

Well, so far it's been the same results from the rematches of last year...

USA loses to Ghana
Mexico loses to Argentina
Argentina loses to Germany


are there any others?

[resistanze]

lol Maradona. I'd kill to be a fly on the wall during half-time.

"Guys, you aren't playing well! Score some goals!"

[Trainwreck2100]

[Muser]

The German coach is a great coach.

[Sense]

Do I look like someone who is happy???

Well your posts show you're pretty pissed off, so no...


It's ElNono's way to vent... :P

[Bukefal]

The German coach is a great coach.

I agree. He was the assistant of klinsmann right? He is doing a much better job than klinsmann

[sefant77]

Klinsmann was also more the motivator, like Maradona but not so extreme.

I still believe Maradona has no clue t all, its just that the players listen too him no matter

[ElNono]

You look like somebody that now is vindicated. This is the moment you've been waiting for, go ahead and tell everybody how you really feel.

[Muser]

Yeah he was the assistant. He's done a great job and this German squad has a bright future.

The problem is isn't Maradona like a god in Argentina? Who's gonna fire him?

[ElNono]

Germany was the better team. Their first goal was huge.
We lost fair and square today.

[IronMexican]

Messi seems like a nice guy, but his inner argie is coming out. Matter of time.

I enjoyed this cup very much. Today we sucked, and got demolished. My hats off to Germany.

And I think Maradona is staying until 2014.

[Bukefal]

This German team is dangerous. Shame for Argentina :( they had a good team and I and many expected them to be a serious champion. Im still amazed how they got beaten like this :wow they just got raped :wow

Props to Deutschland! Well done. Maybe we'll have a Netherlands - Germany final after all. That would be epic :toast Wonderful football you guys play :clap

[velik_m]

That second goal from germany was like watching slow motion - they had all the time in the world - wtf was argie d doing?

The english at least scored a goal, Argentina was just Messi and bunch of guys trying to win the game by themselfs.

An lol Maradona - the guy can't run his own life, whoever thought he can run a team?

[MB20]

Congrats to Germany. Clearly the much superior team today.
Good luck for the rest of the WC.

I said it before, and I say it now. I'm still proud of our players.
We had a chance if we scored several goals. We knew our defense wouldn't hold.
We didn't score, we lost.

And I'm still a Maradona fan. No matter what.

It was good while it lasted.

lol Argentina.............:depressed

[resistanze]

Germany has scored 4 goals in three different games. Jesus

I'm happy Ghana was one of the few teams that didn't get cream-filled by Gemany.

You say it because we lost?

Then I guess Dunga, Capello, Lippi can't run teams either.

[resistanze]

Are you Ghana'n?

Yee brah.

[xellos88330]

Germany looks fuckin' scary good.

Either that or Argentina was just overhyped.

For the record, I don't watch much soccer, but the first time I saw Maradona with that rosary I was like... "Who the fuck is this guy?" Pulling out a rosary for a soccer game? Really? What a douche.

[IronMexican]

Yee brah.

That must have REALLY sucked yesterday.

[ElNono]

and we'll lose in 2014 again if that happens

Well, then he'll be just like every other Argie coach except for Menotti or Bilardo. So yeah, we probably will.

[sonic21]

Argentina is doomed if Maradona is staying.

[MB20]

and we'll lose in 2014 again if that happens

We will lose anyway.
Or you think Argentina can win a WC IN BRAZIL???? :rolleyes

[MaNuMaNiAc]

You say it because we lost?

Then I guess Dunga, Capello, Lippi can't run teams either.

Brazil didn't lose like we lost. Jesus, Maradona is the only person in the World that can make a 4-0 absolute drubbing look like an honorable exit in the eyes of his countrymen. Give me a fucking break!

Give props to the players, who gave it all they had, and in that sense Maradona has to be given credit as well, but it just isn't enough when you have absolutely no tactic, no organization and no defense.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

We will lose anyway.
Or you think Argentina can win a WC IN BRAZIL???? :rolleyes

fair enough

[resistanze]

That must have REALLY sucked yesterday.

It was the worst loss I've ever experienced in sports. Nothing will likely come close, unless the Raptors happen to be up by 2 in Game 7 of the finals, and lose on a half-court 3 pointer.

[ElNono]

Anyways, I need some air. I'll see you all later.

I think Brazil lost just as bad. They choked a game away by completely losing composure.

Argentina didn't choke, they just weren't prepared to play a game against a German side that was that locked in. Germany showed against Serbia that they can run cold, buy today they were hot as can be. The early goal put Arg in a hole and they didn't capitalize on the chances to equalize and got hit with the 68th or whatever min counter. The last two goals were because Arg was demoralized from the 2nd one and lost all focus. I'm disappointed Messi couldn't find a groove in the WC, he's one of my favorite players in the world if not the favorite and I wanted him to have a monster tourney.

If we get past Paraguay today we're gonna need to be really zoned in for that semi. That team is very talented and can light it up, we'll need another stifling performance like the Euro 2008 final when we beat them. Gonna be interesting.

[Sense]

I don't think i've ever seen this many people happy to see Germany win.

How can't you be happy? They play beautiful Futbol, and have been throughout the tournament, with the exception of the game against Serbia...

It's ok Argentines...

I think Argentina was overhyped.. Germany was clearly the better team, and I also think it's kind of pathetic to blame the loss on Maradona...

[MaNuMaNiAc]

You know I don't know why its so difficult to understand. Football is a TEAM sport and Argentina was a group of individuals, plain and simple. Not a semblance of a strategy. If we keep this shit up we're going anywhere.

No, I do think we'd have had a better chance though. This German team is outstanding. They had weaknesses that could have been exploited, obviously we completely failed to do that. I think an Argie team with some semblance of organization would have posed a bigger problem.

Either way, I'm not taking anything away from this German team. They play incredible football.

[diego]

congrats to germany. they were able to score first (even though i think they were very lucky, muller barely touched it and even though it went straight to the goalie he didnt react), and they were patient in defense and effective on the counter. the 4-0 score doesnt reflect the reality of the match because argentina had a long stretch of possession where they should have been able to tie it up. we just had horrible shooting, the only shot with any power to it went off mertesackers face.

that said, a big fuck you to the ref. there were several challenges from behind and two kicks to the knee (with the ball on the ground) that should have been yellows. and they were all during that stretch that argentina was attacking and dominating the play. same with holland yesterday. our forwards were forced to play the ball quick because they werent getting any whistles, and the germans were content to break up attacks with fouls knowing they wouldnt get more than a caution.

in the end our inability to shoot better did us in. as for maradona, I think he should have made his subs earlier, other than that I dont have a problem with how he managed the game. we lost because we gave away an easy goal 3 minutes in and lacked the teeth to tie it up. its mostly the players fault, but its hard to get too upset when you consider most of them are under 25.

LOL What? GTFO

[diego]

what kind of organization are you looking for manumaniac? are you saying you wanted the team to play 4-4-2 and wait for a mistake? that you want to play with a playmaker dominating the ball (your friend riquelme perhaps)? the first goal wasnt for lack of organization. and the inability to score... do you really think playing a post offense would have been more effective?

[diego]

so when khedira kicks a player's knee its not a yellow? when klose tramples mascherano from behind its not a yellow? when pigbreeder kicks di maria's ankle from behind its not a yellow? when podolski grabs tevez by the shoulders and throws him down its not a yellow?

[DAF86]

That wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game.

[sefant77]

Dude, it wasnt the ref.

The ref could have give plenty of yellows to argentina for some fouls, and yes also 1-2 more to mascherano.

I say sticking with the diamond was a fault, germany was often dominating the midfield and argentina attacked way too late and gave them way too much space.

I already gave the germans their props, and chastised our team for their mistakes. and calling those yellows doesnt guarantee anything. but you never know. its like when duncan gets called for his 4th/5th foul- he cant defend with the same intensity. and like i said, those fouls didnt happen at the end of the game, they happened in the first half and beginning of the 2nd. it could very well have changed the game, and even if it didnt the ref should have called it. the rulebooks dont have a "wouldnt affect the result of the game" clause.

Klose has been awesome!

I dont know how much Maradona runs the tactical stuff or someone else (a real coach) helping him a lot in the background and Maradona being more the motivator (like Klinsmann/Löw in 2006).

I think sticking to the diamond was a fault by argentina. Specially with knowing their problems in the defense (slow etc) and watching the germany-England game and England getting exposed.

His tactics was basically "lets hope germany doesnt score first"....

Germany had WAY too much space in the midfield and argentina attacked too late.

Unfortunately there was no game on when I took the picture. The VIP seating atop the Audi pavilion was very nice.



Looks a lot like the airport in Munich when walking outside. Germany is so badass

edit: whoops! just saw the post before. Looks so nice

It definitely hurts when the ref doesn't give you an early goal advantage for a nice cushion, huh argies?

So much butthurt in this post... we sure wish we could play against Mexico every game.

With a Rosetti-type ref right? And it's not being butthurt when you're cheated out of something. Argentina won fair in 06, that's a game I can't be butthurt about.

And you say you wish Arg played Mexico every game? LMFAO, did you even watch this one? Maradona's face was classic, he didn't know what the fuck to do when Mexico was pressing, until the goal...

Dragon Age Awakening is actually pretty good. Thanks for the heads up

[mudyez]

Just came back from public viewing!

Anything happended here?

:downspin::downspin::downspin:

props to the argies for beeing good loosers!

now bring on Spain!

btw.: Its a pretty nice road to the Ship, isnt it? England (invented it), Argentine (with the best player in Messi), Spain (reigning champion in europe) and then probably Holland (our arche enemies).

but we are only on half of our way!

Can't wait for wednesday!

[pookenstein]

I think I'm halfway sober right now. What a great game. Still have no voice. Public viewing. 500.000 people. AWESOME.

Fucking Higuain demanding the yellow for Müller. Asshole! Yellow card for Müller was correct call, but I hate players demanding cards for opponents.
Maradona just isn't a coach. No adjustments. Should have put Messi on the rights side against Boateng.
Argentina only had one dangerous attempt and that was di Maria's shot.

Now bring on Spain. This will be a tough game, especially without Müller.
Do it for Müller so he can play and win the final for us on sunday against Holland.

It was an important test game before the cup and Müller played 90 minutes.

Nice preparation, "coach"

[Bukefal]

Lol asshole maradona. He will never forget Muller now :lol hahah

[SAtown]

lmao faggot maradona

[mudyez]

lmao faggot maradona

Müller took it with humor!

Wasn't much of a problem bye them for him! (it was his first game for the NT and he understood Maradona not recognizing him)

But yesterday he took that moment, inflated it and shoved it up Maradonas a$$!

:lol

[ElNono]

Turns out Schweinsteiger wasn't nervous at all either... :lol

Maybe eating German humble pie will make him step down, but I still doubt it

[Warlord23]

Maradona has made self-ownage an art form over the last two decades.

[rascal]

congrats to germany. they were able to score first (even though i think they were very lucky, muller barely touched it and even though it went straight to the goalie he didnt react), and they were patient in defense and effective on the counter. the 4-0 score doesnt reflect the reality of the match because argentina had a long stretch of possession where they should have been able to tie it up. we just had horrible shooting, the only shot with any power to it went off mertesackers face.

that said, a big fuck you to the ref. there were several challenges from behind and two kicks to the knee (with the ball on the ground) that should have been yellows. and they were all during that stretch that argentina was attacking and dominating the play. same with holland yesterday. our forwards were forced to play the ball quick because they werent getting any whistles, and the germans were content to break up attacks with fouls knowing they wouldnt get more than a caution.

in the end our inability to shoot better did us in. as for maradona, I think he should have made his subs earlier, other than that I dont have a problem with how he managed the game. we lost because we gave away an easy goal 3 minutes in and lacked the teeth to tie it up. its mostly the players fault, but its hard to get too upset when you consider most of them are under 25.

The problem was too many argentine shots from too far a distance and that is due to tough german defense.

Amazing all this Maradona love after he got absolutly outcoached and his team trashed with two players left home that could be a major difference maker in this game (Zanetti, Cambiasso).

I think Maradona could shoot the pope ("Hey, he was sitting in my spot...didnt know its illegal to do it, i apologize") and everyone would just laugh "aah, that was a typical Maradona"

:lol
