Germany:Argentina game thread [R]

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

Man I hope you're right.

Argentina will be relentless....this is going to be most difficult match we've had in years. Yes, a lot harder than last years Confed Cup match.

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

I think we can definetely win against Argentina, we have the talent, and the home crowd behind us. Our forwards simply can't be stopped, when Klose doesn't score, he's assisting Podolski to put away 2. We must be careful though defensively, there were a couple times that we got lucky or Lehmann saved us, we might not be so lucky against Argentina.

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

Some thougts about the game and our team in general:

1.) Keep Klinsmann. He's done a wonderful job, and no matter what happens in the Arg. game he should stay.
2.) Don't forget Löw...
3.) The commentator in the Arg.-Mex. game was annoying. He constantly repeated that neither team was frightening. And that's ridiculous considering that next weeks game will be totally different.
4.) Here is the reason why Schweinsteiger didn't play that great vs. Sweden:

5.) Klinsmann shouldn't change the team, but it's good to know that we still have Borowski. Did anyone else notice his cross late in the game that was so well placed that Klose(?) could stop it with his chest in the penalty area(!) ?
6.) Too bad that the game is in Berlin. The atmosphere just doesn't compare to football-only stadiums.
7.) Hope they will start the game in the same way like vs. Sweden....
8.) Hope Arg. starts Saviola-Crespo instead of Tevez-Messi...
9.) Just because the Arg. defense is rather small, we shouldn't rely solely on crosses.
10.) It never made so much fun to be a German football fan.
11.) Didn't anyone else notice that Schweinsteiger is holding an English flag in the picture above? START BOROWSKI

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

I just hope that the ref doesn't help Argentina like they did against Mexico:

- Heinze should have had a red card at half-time(he commited a foul as last man against a player,got yellow card,he gave a punch in the face a player)
-There was a clear penalty near the end.
-They let them do "little fouls" in the midfield to stop the attacking team during 120 minutes.

The truth is,it's been a lot time since I can remember,where a ref helped too much a team,like I saw today.

It was slaughter from the referee against Mexico.

Oh,btw, Mexico played better than Argentina today.
The only reason why Argentina scored was because of an error-autogoal in a corner kick, and because Maxi Rodriguez made a fantastic goal.

A game lasts 90 minutes, the earth is round ............ and was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster!

Which ********ed up translation tool did u use ?

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

Don't be that sure, mate! Well, we surely played a good WC until now, but don't forget Argentina's player potential!

They remain my top favourite for the title, but of course we'll have a real chance to win the game.

All is possible and it's a pity that one team will be out of the competition.

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

It'll be a though match, it'll be a real test for goth teams and both teams have a chance to win this match. I predicted this quarterfinal match up Germany - Argentina and an Argentinian win before the WC did start, but now I want another German victory!

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

This is the match to see who goes out to Italy in the semis,
right?

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

To be honest I got the same impression. Every fifty-fifty decision went for Argentina, and they got away with a lot of acting and diving.

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

Austria.It's called Aus-tria.

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

who will be the ref? argentina tactics are diving and play acting.

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread [R]

I'm pessimistic. I have a feeling the party is about to end on Friday. Would've preferred the Dutch.

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread [R]

I have a very bad feeling about this game. No matter how well Germany has performed so far, they haven't yet encountered teams the quality of Argentina who undoubtedly looks the most dangerous in this whole tournament. Not only are they the most complete team but they have guys like Aimar, Messi and Tevez off the bench. They can play for 90+ minutes and still be able to perform as relentless and in the end score a wonder goal.

Also, they bring a very physical game which we Poland has so far and that's been Germany's most difficult opponent so far. Unfortunately Germany couldn't have gotten a worse draw than this, I think we would have fared even better against Holland or Brazil.

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

what happend in that pic?

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread [R]

Start Borowski? No way....Schweiny is good, he connects well with Poldi and we can use his pace against Argentina.

Tim gets cautioned waaaaay too easy.

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread [R]

You have to understand, when it comes to games like Argentina-Mexico, where it's a South American team against another South American team or a Central American team, they will always be much closer. And not to take credit away from Mexico who played very well, Argentina in the end got it done, especially considering the quality of this match.

I don't think in any way, it takes away the credibility Argentina has built up so far. If anything I'm glad Mexico took them to overtime which may or may not have brought down the Argentine's confidence. However when a team can play 90+ minutes in that kind of quality, then score a wonder goal and play three minutes of brilliant ball retention, I can't take away any credit.

Germany has had much weaker opponents and has yet to face a team that played like Ivory Coast, Holland or Mexico. If you look at Germany's opponents, Costa, Rica, Ecuador, and Sweden; neither of them really looked all that threatening and certainly not throughout the whole game. Poland came closest to giving Germany any problems and they're far away from the quality that Argentina possesses.

All I'm saying is I hope Germany and it's players don't let their recent games get to their heads because Argentina will be a whole new experience for them. If they indeed can beat Argentina, then and only then will I be convinced that we have what it takes to get our fourth cup.

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread [R]

Wasn't serious. Quite the opposite is true, a change of the formation would be dumb. Everything is OK the way it is, isn't it?

 

Re: Germany:Argentina pre-game thread

It's from Stuttgart. The Ger-Eng warm-up.
