Man, I missed the goal as the internet feed was loading. Caught the replay though.

And now Germany looks like it'll score again.

 

[sdifox]

damn, the teamwork in this German team is just perfect.

 

[sdifox]

Shit, Argentina better find a way to crack this defense or they are going home.

 

[sdifox]

Well, at least Veron is not playing

 

[sdifox]

why is it most players are still having trouble with the ball?

 

[sdifox]

Muller is not playing next game if they advance

 

[silverpig]

Totally offside

 

[sdifox]

Offside goal... with like 4 players off side

On that yellow card, does the ref have any latitude on how to handle that handball? The ABC announcers said they thought it was being handled harshly.

 

[sdifox]

WTF was Romero falling to the ground for?

Intentionals are carded. Up to the ref to interpret what is intentional.

'k, thanks!

1st half over. Germany is looking well put together.

 

[sdifox]

Time for Argentina to crank up or go home.

That was a terrible yellow card. Muller's arm was by his side, not stuck out in a right angle, which would have been more intentional. More of a bad decision since he'll miss the next game too. Ref should give 2nd yellow only if you're sure about these things or they need a way to rescind a yellow if it's not deserved after the game.. NBA refs don't give a 2nd T unless it's a definitive thing to get a guy to miss a game.

Germany's passing looks sharp. Argentina starting to collect themselves later in the half. They're looking good too. I don't think they need to make any major changes at half time.

 

[sdifox]

just missed!

 

[pyonir]

Getting really tired of the Argentinians writhing on the ground at the slightest touch. Drawing a foul is one thing...their "style" is a completely different thing.

 

[sdifox]

well, I guess defending with your face works.

 

[Gooberlx2]

In the FACE!

 

[sdifox]

auch... the close up replay looks really painful.

 

[sdifox]

fucking stupid penalty to take

 

[Gooberlx2]

Whoo! That could have been bad...

 

[sdifox]

fucking shit shots... goalie didn't even have to move.

 

[Gooberlx2]

GOAL!!!!1

2-0 Germany! They just out-positioned the defense.

 

[KeithTalent]

Wow, 2-0! Have to think this is over now.
