I don't have investment in either of these two teams but this has been a good match so far

 

[PeskyToaster]

Germany are dominating this game. Just a matter of time.

I wouldn't say either are dominating. Both have had good attacks and great scoring chances. It's 0-0, that ain't domination to me.

From the man who always gets his predictions wrong, thank you for your posts

 

[Tagyhag]

Higuain's miss is unbelievable.

Yeah, if Arg lose by 1 goal he's going to be held accountable, what a choker.

 

[John Dunbar]

Is Germany not allowed to replace (substitute) the player that was taken out of the game with that hit that caused a concussion?

they are, but they are not allowed to kick someone in the knee. howedes should have a red.

 

[Maninthemirror]

Are we talking about the same game where Germany had possession and passing to their heart's delight? Seems like the vast majority of the match was played in the attacking 1/3rd.

Yes we are talking of the game where the best chances have been overall with Argentina. Posession doesnt mean squat just look at Brazil vs Germany semifinal

LMAO

 

[there]

Brazil's defence clearly showed that Germany could win by a lot of goals against Argentina.

I see what you did there

For once, John Dunbar is correct about this.

Germany is dominating possession, but it hasn't been doing much for them as it usually does. Chalk it up to playing a team that can actually defend.

Germany hasn't scored lots against teams who have parked the bus.

Lol flip the channels you're watching the Brazil re-run.

 

[Rubenov]

I watch this stuff every 4 years... football GAF school me why do offsides exist again?

 

[GlamFM]

Meine Nerven!

 

[Neo C.]

Without Khedira the Germans need over half an hour to readjust their defense.

 

[ekim]

What the fuck was he doing playing? I'd assumed he was off. Are these people crazy?
The dude was slow-blinking after getting up. That's a HUGE red flag to look more closely. Infuriating because so dangerous.
Blink speed correlates with incipient sleep in drivers and I'm convinced is a valuable sign of subtly altered consciousness in MTBI

[GSG Flash]

Germany needs to regroup, they're slowly starting to crack that Argentine defense, but any Argentine counter attack with Messi at the helm can be fatal.

Also, don't think I've seen as good a chance as Higuain got this whole World Cup, that was pretty much like missing a penalty.

 

[Toxi]

never in the history of football has a foul like that seen a red card. so you re not fair.

Joke post?

 

[Hieberrr]

Prevents cherrypickers.

 

[genjiZERO]

I support Argentina in the match, but not in their aggressive overtures to the Falkland Islands!

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

I'm sweating like crazy. Can't take this anymore.

 

[KingSnake]

If Höwedes would have scored it would have been quite a big scandal, as he should have been eliminated at that awful foul.

 

[Chezzymann]

I'm not football gaf but its so that people can't just kick the ball down the field to a person out in the open and score

this person knows what's up

 

[NateDog]

Higuain hates himself

Don't worry I hate him too. I've never really rated him and still wonder how he had so many years at Madrid as their first striker, although I guess maybe it's because they were spending most of their money on midfielders.

Higuain lol

Why is mueller always such a cunt?

Softest yellow ever for schweinny

Howedes destroyed that post

This is a good summary of that half.

What the fuck are you talking about lol.

It has many many many times.

 

[gutter_trash]

Lol FIFA, an Italian officiating a Finale involving Germany.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Great match so far.


Lol at people thinking Germany would destroy Argentina. It's a final and any team can win.

 

[HardRojo]

"We'll be able to catch the finals from here, no?"

 

[Terareflection]

Germany hasn't scored lots against teams who have parked the bus.

No, but they have been able to take more shots.

 

[marc^o^]

I know right!? Robben doesn't whine like a cunt.

Exactly this. Lots of divers there, but what Mueller does after his dives is well, disgusting.

This aside, loved this first half

 

[opticalmace]

Just tuned in. Damn, how did that argentina player miss the net there?! All alone too.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Fucj Kl this shit

 

[Eidan]

I support Argentina in the match, but not in their aggressive overtures to the Falkland Islands!

Hahaha ok

This is a good summary of that half.

I'll do another post after the second half! Game is too good to spend on gaf during the game though

 

[metareferential]

Howedes deserved a red card.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Our high line is gonna bite us in the ass, man. :'(

Did somebody say "ass"?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Goddamn Daleks on the BBC.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

they are, but they are not allowed to kick someone in the knee. howedes should have a red.

Oh, I see what you meant. The player kicked was lucky to walk away from that, one of the more dangerous plays I've seen this world cup.

 

[elty]

Can't see Argentina winning if game continues like that. Germany will eventually convert.

 

[kamorra]

Lol FIFA, an Italian officiating a Finale involving Germany.

The worst part is how he's helping Germany by not giving a obvious red card.

 

[spekkeh]

cant believe those morons who compared müller to robben's diving.

never in the history of football has a foul like that seen a red card. so you re not fair.

Hehe you're in the final and not thinking straight. That's cool.

 

[Major Gripex]

"We'll be able to catch the finals from here, no?"

Oh god my sides. That's hilarious.

 

[inky]

never in the history of football has a foul like that seen a red card. so you re not fair.

You are nuts. Clear red, and they have been called this WC alone.

Here, be sure to be wearing your glasses:

 

[Dreaver]

Good game so far. Hopefully Germany wins!

 

[Kurt Angle]

all this proves is

Khedira > entire Germany team


golden ball to sami

 

[maximum360]

Argentina needs to work on maintaining possession for longer periods and take their time to press into the German side instead of relying only on fast breaks. If they continue Germany greater time of possession, Germany will eventually make use of it. Besides that they need to play a little tighter on Müller.

 

[PdotMichael]

all dat hyperbole

 

[jts]

Do you think we will finally see a Golden Goal today?

Well, the germans are playing, so I wouldn't rule it out. I read that they "scored" one in a 1996 final, but was too grossed out to look up the footage from it.

 

[PodcastFips]

Joke post?

Doesn't matter, that bodycheck against Kramer's head is a red card, too. And a penalty on top.
