I think Argentina will win ... they seem like they have the momentum.

Congrats England! This is the only success you will have... : )

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!

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.

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!

With a backup goalie, I don't know why Arg is pressing the ball more. Anyway, I'd prefer Germany to win anyway.
