Heh. Even with the obligatory English keeper's error. :)

This will be an interesting match.

Argentina certainly have a fearsome attacking line up and options on
the bench with Messi, Tevez, Higuain, Aguerro and Milito (even 36 yr
old Palermo could come on and score!)

However you're right, Germany's counter-attacking has been very
impressive in this tournament, and the likes of Ozil could easily open
up the weak Argie defence to feed Klose or Muller.

The key is for Argentina to be patient and not go for all-out attack
as the crafty Germans will surely punish them. I'd prefer to see
Argentina win, not least because it ensures Maradona's continued
involvement and entertainment for us all :)

You read all the bullshit tabloids and come to the conclusion. Your
views on German team are as wrong as on Lendl.

Germans trash Australians, then thrash them, Germans trash England,
then thrash them... they are just trying psychological tactics ;-)

Yes, but they have not come under real pressure. It remains to be seen
how they will respond if the Germans can take it to them. I suspect the
facade may start to show some cracks, and their old ways may come out.
Should be fun!
