UK Off tube commentators: "I don't mind him going off, his name is hard to pronounce."
Congrats England! This is the only success you will have... : )
Argentina wasting as much time as possible.
Hey!.. : ) some people work, you know....
Cambiasso coming in.
Argies definetly looking to secure the 1-0 win.
I hope Germany scores.
Maxi Rodriguez faking injury.
Beautiful!
KLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!
I hear.
Goooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ayala's in the finger pointers club
Klose
Great stuff.
The Argies ticked me off with their negative attitude after taking the lead.
Crespo out, Riquelme out.
No Messi.
Faking injuries, time wasting.
Go Germany.
Keep the party going!
"YOU CAN NEVER WRITE OFF THE GERMANS"
Come on BBC, where are you?
No way Germany loses now, you just can't shut down and start up again as the Argies are about to find out.
I am 2 for 2. Root for USA, USA got knocked out. :( OK I'll root for Spain. Spain gets knocked out. :( OK I'll root for Argentina.
Flip on the Sun commentary a bit late--Woo hoo they are winning! Then Klose ties it up.
I'm thinking Argentina are cooked with me supporting them.
Now if I can just get you to support Brazil!
Good point. I think that screwing around delaying time cost them. ARG had momentum and they killed it by playing possum. Enter Germany. Kaboom by Kolse!
LOL, you stole my thunder.
I take it you are supporting Portugal tommorow then :-)
With a backup goalie, I don't know why Arg is pressing the ball more. Anyway, I'd prefer Germany to win anyway.
