Argentina vs. Germany - QF(59), Sat 03/07 15:00 (BST), Cape Town

Are Argentina allergic to crossing the ball in from the wings?!

transylman

Are Germany trying to hold onto their one goal advantage. Looking very defensive.

Peyton Manning

Di Maria has such a long, narrow head. Really should think twice about that mohawk.

Dont see how so many still reckon a Argy win.. Dont get me wrong they could, but the Germans have outclassed them tacticaly all day

Letting the opposition have most of the possession is never a good tactic.

It's still an even game imo

Is walter Samuel injured?

Yeah, a hamstring problem.

Paparazzo

Normally I like tevez, but he's been a disgrace in this game. I hope Maradona takes him off or he gets sent off. Here's a summary of his first half.

Someone touches Tevez: Jumps in the air like he's shot.
Someone makes an excellent tackle on Tevez: Has a fit at the ref cos he thinks it's a free.
Tevez fouls someone, he's absolutly miles away from the ball and takes the player out of it: He has a fit at the ref for giving the free and he points at the ball.
A german commits a foul, nothing serious but Tevez not involved: Tevez going mental with the ref cos he didn't give a yellow card.

Nemanja91

Great block,

_Bella_

Germany need to score quickly or I feel Argentina will nick this

Ye odd for Germany to let a team have more possesion... Germany 44.8% - 55.2% England.... 4-1

Boskowski

Argues some aggressive whingebags really

Esse85

Di Maria reminds me of Peter Whittingham

_Bella_

Jesus Boateng has really stepped it up in the last few mins!

Different game with a different flow. Germany kept a hold of the ball when they needed to in that game. They haven't in this game. Hence Argentina are still well in it.

I just don't understand why Juan Veron is not on the pitch. His vision and passing is badly needed by Argentina.

Mars Bar

Argies are bursting forward...

Hope this free kick hits the back of the net!

JohnnyRyan99

Ozil would make a fantastic Bond villan!

kun and veron need to come on

It's okay, they have Maxi Rodriguez, who's been living off the reputation of having a decent tournament in 2006 for the last 4 years.

Mars Bar

Come on Germany, get yer shape together.

Game is very stretched.

Surely be another goal or 2

_blank_

Great tackle by Lahm there

_Bella_

As a German fan I'm pretty worried, it feels like a matter of minutes before Argentina find the net

Mars Bar

Déja vu here I hope.

Its unreal, he is completely lost out there.

Peyton Manning

I wonder will Maxi punch Schweinsteiger this time?

What a fantastic game, the pace is something else and its really end to end. I can see Argentina getting caught on the break, they're committing so many men forward its bound to happen. Boateng is the man of the match for me so far, he's coped with Di Maria and Messi comfortably.

Peyton Manning

Gooooooaaaaaaaalllllllllll!!!!!!!

Get in !!!

_Bella_

Great to see Klose score!

everdead.ie

2-0 great work by muller and schwinstieger

Funkfield

C'MON GERMANY!

All over now.

Klose is so good

Peyton Manning

lol @ BBC commentary

"Look at Tevez like a one man........battleship"

thegen

Que the sending off's for Argentina

JohnnyRyan99

Cheeky Pod..

Esse85

I bet the argies will get dirty now and have at least 1 player sent off.

Mars Bar

That would have been a lovely goal...
