Gaf am I going blind or did Argentina scored a goal not given because of offside yesterday? because all I remember was a side netting attempt being called offside

No, it was just that one attempt that was on the side of the net. Here's the GIF of it.

If "barely" means a controlled victory. Yes, that's pretty good.
Germany didn't even bother to go to 2nd gear vs USA. They got their goal to be in the comfort zone in qualifying for the next round.

To be fair, the US is pretty much the Germany B team they have so many Germans playing for them.
Thats hardly fair at all. 4-5 german murrricans an the rest either Latino or Scandinavian descent plus white dudes if anything they're Germany C surplus team.
That's fair overall
 
Probably the closest anyone got to scoring anything in the whole game, by a long shot.
As a neutral, the match felt like 4 hours to me.

Well, none of the treams tried to score a goal for 120min after all.

Just look the ratio of Dutch/Argentinian players in the gif. 6 defenders vs. 3 attackers.

I don't even remember one instance of the Dutch shooting in the net, and the Argentinian GK having to actually save.
I'm sure they did at some point, but it mustn't have been often.
 
3 days of shit talking left sheeeesh and German fans are cocky, i want Argentina to win so i can see how many account suicide Gaf will have that day..

It is painful to watch Argentina fighting back the ball and then their midfielders looked dumbfounded at what to do with the ball next. You will see them punting the ball forward.

Statistics trends and all, the reason why Argentina will lose is because they lack a good midfielder. Spain and Italy showed how to beat this monster German squad by controlling the ball well. Messi and Co. has no chance.

Mascherano is best Argie. You even see him barking pep talks during the ET breaks and while Messi looked like an exhausted fuck. Messi's star imo is dying, he hasn't look the same since those muscle injuries. If only 2010 Messi was playing this final, then his team may have a chance.

I'm not sure about this, Enzo Perez and Lucas Biglia played well enough, Perez much better than expected.

The midfield may not be the strong point of Argentina, but I don't see it being bad either.
