FIFA World Cup 2014 - Final & 3rd Place Play-off [12th - 13th July] **spoilers**

[Nate75]

looks like Argentina are setting up for the pens

 

[drunkenmaster]

Why, Germany are doing what HOlland did, being slow on the pass, slow on the break, choosing to pass backwards. Midfield runners not supporting at all. Ozil with a crap touch when it needed a one touch pass between the players, lucky to get the throw.

It's getting messi

Football is a sport where, most of the time, two large men run towards each other really quite fast. There will be occasional challenges which are dangerous, but perfectly fair and within the rules. If you take those challenges out, you have to take most of the pace of the game out as well.

Hey I'm with you, as I said above a pen would have been very harsh. It just seemed Johnny didn't understand the point of contention was the high knee, not who won the ball.

Loving this now, going to turn in to an all out war before too long.

Mark Lawrenson with the revelation that the Argentina Goalkeeper is the tallest player of their team.

Brilliant from Schweinsteiger again.

You should learn the rules. There's no such thing as a dangerous but within the rules challenge. If a challenge is considered dangerous play or reckless then it's a foul to the other team regardless if you win the ball.

Lahm Breezes pas.... Nope.

umm no just no

 

[esoteric]

Argies are getting a little dirty, desperation setting in?

 

[drunkenmaster]

Brilliant from Schweinsteiger again.

One of the only players on the pitch playing great. Rest of his team seem completely unable to read the game, when Argentina break no one is intercepting any passes. Beyond midfield it's one pass and the back four running back as slowly as any back four ever has, with Bastian being the one to read most of the passes in the final third and save their arses.

 

[Shamikebab]

Schweinsteiger such a big game player.

Can't help feeling taking Klose off for someone more mobile that can contribute more might help.

Every single tackle is dangerous or reckless - it involves someone kicking/sliding towards another player.

 

[Verponian]

The world cup is really rather ugly.

umm no just no
