WC 2010 QF: Argentina vs Germany [P + R]

[newbie original]

People are talking about Ozil and Muller. What about Lukas Podolski!!!

Everyone's saying that, other than those 5 minutes when England scored 2 goals, Germany's defense has not been tested. Well, you can say the same thing about Argentina's defense.

On that note, something to look out for is the positioning of Lukas Podolski. On both of his goals, he has been wide open. Ozil is creating havoc down the right wing and Klose is drifting over to the right allowing for overlap with Muller. Well, the defense drifts over the right to cover those 3 German players neglecting almost the entire left half of the field. That's why Podolski has been so wide open on his 2 goals.

Argentina's defense is going to be tested in the same way. That's how Loew is going to draw the central defenders out of position like he did with John Terry. Maxi Rodriguez and Javier Mascherano will have fall back to help the defense out. If they don't expect Podolski to get more wide open chances.

Podolski had one of the worst performances of the World Cup in the loss to Serbia. Something like 9 shots, 1 on target, and the shot on target was a saved penalty. In my opinion, he's just not up to it anymore.

I hope Germany exposes Argentina's feeble defense.

 

[Integrity]

I hope Germany humiliates Argentina. Argentina is not really that great of a team. Those first two goals against Mexico were gifts, but they actually had to struggle throughout the whole game. If they struggled against Mexico, they will suffer even more against DEUTSCHLAND!!!!!

 

[emmer]

I just want Argentina to win so Brasil can face them on the final.

 

[newbie original]

.....Argentina .....they struggled against Mexico, they will suffer even more against DEUTSCHLAND!!!!!

Well, if you say that then someone else can easily say the following:
Germany.....they struggled against Serbia, they will suffer even more against ARGENTINA!!!!!

Moron...

How are the Germans a great team?

They recieved a gift from the referee too, the game should have been 2-2 against England...

I hope Argentina slaps you arrogant germans in the teeth

 

[chuckoberto]

GER 1 - 1 ARG
i think they´re going to penalty kicks... and germany will win 4-3

 

[MelvinSmiley]

I think its gonna be a pretty close game, with two not so strong defensive lineups. I also fear Messi will finally score. Hopefully it wont be enough.

 

[ArgVega]

They are the worst losers.

Have you ever heard one of Xavi's or Ramos press conferences after defeat.

Spanish don't know how to loose either. I don't think most big nations at this stage do.

 

[cintayangtulus]

2 - 1 Argentina

 

[Filipower]

I'm betting Tevez to score an offside goal that the referee doesn't allow by claiming the ball didn't go in.

 

[Axolote]

Everyone is talking about Arg defence, but i think we have better defence than Germany...

Romero
Otamendi Demichelis Burdisso (Samuel) Heinze
Mascherano​

Maybe there are two players that arent very famous...

Romero: AZ Alkmaar GK, very young, but athletic, good on crosses and with great personality...Record clean sheat in Holland league.

Otamendi: Velez Sardfield central defender, he is the best in Argentina, Inter and Real Madrid were following him. Maradona puts him as a RB.

Our defence is 10 times better than england's...so dont think you will see a goal from a goal kick or a goalkeeper that closes his eyes when they shoot...

Mexico can beat England without effort.


PS: Sorry about my english, its been a while...

 

[Zlatan]

I'm rooting for Germany, because I want a Holland - Germany final.

 

[Arnau]

vamooos vamooos argentiiinaaaa vamoos vamooos a ganaaar. (8)

 

[sith]

the gauchos fly home tomorrow

 

[MaSsiVe]

Muller again..!

 

[Back Door Skip]

Argentina started the game on the ropes. Crazy ****!

 

[Juventino]

******* yellow card rule. Now the most exciting young player, Muller, could miss the semi's.

Anyway, hope Messi will step it up.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

2 Yellows over the course of 5 games is worthy of a game ban according to FIFA. Muller is out of the Semis if Germany advance. That is ******* retarded.
