Apparently, Messi threw up once again during the final. He doesn't seem to be fully recovered from that injury he had not too long ago.

That's because people like Higuain missed the mark in front of the goal, attempts at goal doesn't really capture this game at all.
Who was not in control? It is deemed as an offence in footbal if you purposefully jump at a player. Did Neuer jump at Higuain or the ball? It is deemed as an offence in footbal if you strike an opponent purposefully. Did Neuer purposefully mean to knee Higuain in the face?
Did Higuain mean to hit Neuer with his head?
Fact of the matter is had Neuer not made contact with the ball he would likely have been sent off. But he's not generally accepted to be the best in the world for no reason
Anybody who debates this is scratching through the bottom of an empty barrel

I think he has mono
Wouldn't be surprised . It happens to a lot of athletes and happened to federer as well
26-30 is when a player peaks physically so i wouldn't be surprised
Of which the biggest one was 1-1 by Higuain, he played so bad this WC my god.
He always throws up in important games, has done for years.
The salt supply never ends
<3my man Federer was still able to make GS semifinals with mono lol

I know i'm late but... HELL YES GERMANY!!!
And Messi is such a sore loser, he didn't even shake hands with the crowd as he was walking up the stairs, and had a seriously FU look on his face after the game finished, he should've declined to accept the golden ball too, he didn't deserve it and he knew it.

So 3 in a row for UEFA.
Euro Cups are basically also World Cups now
Edit: Which would mean Greece is a World Cup winner by the logic I just made up. YES!
3 in a row. 4 of the last 5. All different winners
To be fair the Dutch hardly any chances against Spain either. I guess he means that one Robben chance...

And Messi got Argentina into the final unlike group stage knockout when he was 22
His play and 'symptoms' are classic mono

FIFA needs to play the semi-finals on the same day Argentina looked gas at the 70min, while Germany still had a lot left in the tank..

Where can you see it?
I read an article some months ago about Messi throwing up occasionaly. According to it, he had it some time now and he consulted many doctors, but nobody could find out the cause.
Messi can play normally after throwing up though, so its not that bad.

The spikes into the leg no where near the ball could have been a red. That was pretty nasty.

They showed it a bit during World Cup Tonight and the pre-show before the game.
Well I think some gloating is justified after all that confederation nonsense of the last week, but really this solidifies that we need new financial rules. The top teams have become too powerful, living off tremendous debts and preying on all the other competitions.
You spelled Mascherano wrong..

I'm glad that Ghana put up the best performance against the World Champions this WC. Ghana has been the strongest African team the last 3 World Cups. Hopefully they don't get discouraged from not advancing to the knockout rounds and instead keep building off the performance they had.

To be fair Germany didn't have much to do in their semi-final.

Oh okay great, I was a bit slow switching over to ESPN from ABC, so probably why I missed it. Thanks.
He's not always "that good" but paired with a solid center back partner, like Hummels, his speed and passing making him very versatile
Boateng had the game of his life. The criticisms of 2010 seem like forever ago.
Aguero wasn't fit. Palacio and Higuain just never were right. The last two games actually (Holland and Germany), the combination of Higuain, Lavezzi and Palacio looked more comfortable hugging the touchlines than they did in the group stages, but they lacked the finishing touch. Lavezzi provided damn good service for the first 60 minutes of that Holland game - just nobody got to the other end of the pass.
I mean, Higuain is just a mental midget so his performance is whatever.

Biggest mistake Bayern made to send that guy off because he thought he was not good enough.
Well, fuck Merkel. She's gonna use that world cup to leverage her position and party, although they had LOTS of shitty stealth decision while the world cup was going on (parlamentarian's salary's gonna be 830 more per month, 200 pages in the BGB)...
lol, this is ridiculous. so you want him to shake hands with everyone after losing the biggest game in his career. get real. the hate is starting to look silly at this point.

I didn't understand why lavezzi got taken off so soon. He seemed to be providing quite a bit of forward momentum. Was he injured?
What? Jerome just re-upped with Bayern.

Misplaced faith that Aguero would magically become 100% fit and find his finishing touch? I don't know. Argentina looked more dangerous from about minute 20 'til the end of the first half.
He's referring to Hummels who Klinsmann deemed "unwanted"
Wrong. That only happens in corner kicks because the ball is almost always being disputed in the goal area. Players can't touch the keeper there.
It was either a Neuer foul or a throw in. Higuain, was disputing the ball. It should have been a throw in.

He should learn how to be a sport and take it in stride, nothing worse than a sore loser.
It's gone now, but it was during the France v. Switzerland game, around 82 minute mark.
