Argentina out of the world cup on penalties! Yikes... wont be a good mood in Buenos Aires tonight.
Only have themselves to blame (Peckerman in particular for taking Riquelme off and engaging in that negative/defensive style of football).
Lehmann was ice cool under pressure though, top class goalkeeping.

GERMANY advances!!!! Just a few of the many advantages of being on home turf


I cannot belive what Pekerman did......
What the fwock!!!! Why didn't you put in Aimar or Messi? What the fwock is wrong with that man?



Anywho?
Germany was set to win at any cost.

Germany vs. Brasil final

Argentina were running rings around Germany until they scored and then Pekerman obviously gave them orders to sit back and shut the game down. So, so stupid... if they had continued to play like they were playing they would have probably won and caught Germany on a counter attack at some stage (Germany obviously upped the tempo to get back into it.)
Taking Riquelme off was basically a resignation to the fact that they were going to play out the remainder of the match in their own half and when Germany equalised, Argentina were left with no playmaker and no ability to control things around the middle, than if they had still had Riquelme on the pitch.
Pekerman is going to meet some hostility when he gets back to Argentina, haha.

Argentina were eliminated because of Pekeerman's poor decisions.Had they left Riquelme on,they would have exploited all the space being left by the Germans as they ventured forward!! Now there is no chance of my dream final-Argentina v Brazil!! Great!!! Italy have also had a lucky/easy ride through but I expect Germany to beat the even though,if I recall correctly,just before the finals,they played each other and Italy won 5-1!!

Another WorlD Cup,another failure for England. Where was that performance everyone was looking for? Rooney was petulant and undisciplined once again. Frank Lampard showed once and for all that he and Gerrard can't play together and in my opinion,that he is not world class. I thought this was England's best chance to win,I mean their squad is awesome but Eriksson must shoulder responsibility. Terrible tactics,poor changes,and what happened to Walcott making an impact? I don't think things are going to be that much better under Mclaren!
Also,England failed to beat a really really pooooooor Portugal team. If they get any further,it will be by luck because they were pathetic!! 11 v 10 and England were better and only Figo showed any class or guile. Ronaldo once againshowed why he is such an over rated piece of tripe although he did well with the penalty.

Frank lampard is shit all his shots went in the f***ing air

Gerrard was rubbish.

And as for Rooney i knew it would happen sooner or later....too hot headed.

[beds]

Brazil out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

zidane masterclass

how good is he!

[Memphis]

Awsome, simple as that.

Ronaldinho was dissapointing again, they looked much more of a threat when Robinho was on.

What the fuck is up with Ribery's head?

[El Gamo]

Nooooooooooooooooooooo Brazilllll!!!!! I definitely want France to win now,what a swansong it would be for ZZ and what a performance!! Did he give the ball away?!?! Incredible! I think Pareira made a big mistake not starting with Adriano!

[CutMeMick]

Top quality first half from the Eyeties and the Krauts. Good skills, impeccable technique and not much diving. For the first time, I am enjoying a game at this world cup !!!!

Go on Italy !




Don't use the showers!

[Oggie]

Zee Germanz are out!
Great goal by Grosso at the end of extra time followed by Del Piero putting the icing on the cake right after when the Germans were in all out attack.
Cannavaro has been the player of the tournament for me so far! Klose and Podolski would have been more effective if they hadn't even been on the pitch, that is how awesome Cannavaro was.
Well done Italy!

[CutMeMick]

Like I said before Italy shouldn't even be there anymore, they got a gift against the Ukranies......



I can't belive how in just minutes from the end of extra time Germany let their guard down.....
