Match 59 (QF) - Germany v Argentina - PBP Thread [R]

Game opening with back and forth stuff. But Argentina STILL can't find that breakthrough.

 

Nice possession and run from the Germans just then.

They seem to have gotten settled down since the second half started

 

Very dangerous free kick for the Germans coming up. Top of the arc.

Otamendi lucky not to have gotten a second yellow IMO

 

Trying to remember, Higuaín is at Real Madrid, right? I don't follow La Liga that closely

 

61' 0-1 #10 Lukas Podolski raids up the left, passes into a scrum at box top center. Argentina poke it away in a 3-v-1, and bring it out -- but a poor touch leaves a 50-50 with onrushing #11 Miroslav Klose, and they clatter into him. Free kick is drilled at ankle-height, blocked by the non-jumping wall.

 

LOL.

Well played sir.

 

Could this be at the stage where a sub, or lack of from either coach, determine the outcome?

 

Great defending by Lahm to give up the corner.

 

yeah and he single handedly tookout RM out of the champions league against lyon in the round of 16 , cant believe maradona favours him ahead of milito

 

come on, KEEP IT UP

 

Great end to end action. Argentina needs to stop sending shots directly at Neuer.

 

Is this a Hofstadter zen koan?

 

Im smellling a Goal for Argentina. Go GErmany ! Go !

 

Maradona must pull Otamendi for another attacker at this point.

 

Otamendi fouls Poldolski just outside the box.

Dangerous free kick coming up

 

Free kick cleared.

Diego really needs to sub Otamendi out of the game. He sucks

 

What the F was the defense doing???

 

2-0!
