This one is anyones ballgame. Player-to-player Argentina is the slightly better team, but I feel that Germany is the more balanced side and have a much better organized defence. Gonna have to put some down on Germany on this one, just because of the odds.
I've been reading through the anti-Argentina posts and the pro-Germany ones- and anyone who thinks Argentina is an easy out for Germany is just fooling themselves.
Gloss on for the Germany hyperbole and I'll just sit back and enjoy watching Argentina and their "lazy" team win. :thumbsup:
Germany is far from perfect and both of these teams got gifts from the refs to change the flow and outcome of their last game and to think one has clear and dominate edge over the other is just putting on their "homer" glasses to ignore reality.
Well.. because of the odds I'm putting on Germany, but I'm not really sure, both of them can take them IMO, but I guess Germany has better defense and goalie..
WHAT A GAME!SO EXCITING! Gonna have to go with the Argies though. Messi, Tevez, Maxi Rodríguez and Higuaín have been on fantastic form so far, to name a few. Not to mention any team that has Sergio Aguero on the bench is just unreal.
Yeah 50k on the Argies for me... Their team is pretty stellar and Germany for sure hasn't impressed me this year. It is going to be an awesome game but I don't think Argentina can be beat by Germany.
I hope Lionel is wearing body armor today with the amount of hacking and fouling the Germans plan to do to him. Hopefully it won't be worse than the 1990 final when they fouled Maradona relentlessly to prevent any type of free play and ground the game to a stand still to win ugly. The Germans have been talking pre-game a ton about Argentina play and how "dirty" it is- with their past history they should know all about that. :thumb02:
LOL i always miss the first goal of the morning games somehow. Went to make coffee and boom. Great go so far, shame I shall miss the second half for work.
Have fun guys! Looks like this is going to be a good one.
3-2 to Germany the final score after 90 minutes is my prediction, after a bomb of a second half. I can't see Argentina going off the pitch without scoring, and Germanys counters are soo deadly. Buckle up boys.
Man, we can't let them have the ball all the time. From a neutral standpoint I'd say counterattacking is the best position to be in but as a German right now my nerves are suffering.
WOOOOOO!!!
Just came home from the game - I was watching it at the theater, testing out how it is to watch football in 3D.
The 3D wasn't so awesome, but overall, it was great. Especially, I liked the camera angles in the theater, much better than on the TV, and in a lot of times they even zoomed, say, one player with the ball and followed him. Looked great.
Anyways, the game itself I though was great too. Germany looked fantastic, the best Germany I have ever seen, Bobby's probably more drunk then ever atm.
I feel a bit sorry for Argentina (to be precise - Tevez, Messi and Higuain ), because I like them too, but wow.. and 4:0!!
And, I've won shitload of credits in the quarterfinals - I won all 3 of my bets, and definately going to take my 4th IMO! :thumb02::thumb02:
Some real german passion. I like it. A couple friends of mine were in Berlin when Germany played Ghana, and they told me it was absolutely electric in the streets. Can't imagine how it was today. I would love to be there, thats for sure!
One thing I can say about Germany, if they go on to win it, they are DESERVING winners. Australia, Serbia, Ghana, England, Argentina, Spain, Netherlands(?). Thats a sick run of games.
Can't wait for the semis. It's weird how the World Cup is nearly over already. 4 long years until next time. Here's for hoping the drama isn't over just yet!
