2014 World Cup

[Admiral Yi]

The Mengele Final.

[Liep]

So it wasn't a genius tactical move by van Gaal but a necessity to sub the goalie.

[derspiess]

Never in doubt.

[Admiral Yi]

Speesh is going to make out OK tonight.

[Zanza]

Germany - Argentina is a WC classic. Looking forward to Sunday.

[derspiess]

I'm sad. Not so much that the Dutch are out, my support for then was minor, but of the threat of the argies winning. I really hate that country.

[Josquius]

So it wasn't a genius tactical move by van Gaal but a necessity to sub the goalie.

Seems so.
Given the way the game was going he really should have saved a sub.

[HVC]

Woooooo!

[Monoriu]

The most important objective, that the WC must stay in Europe and S. America, was complete when Costa Rica was kicked out.

Now, the second most important objective, that only those who have won it before may win it, is complete.

Next, we go for the icing on the cake, that a WC tournament held in S. America should be won by a S. American country. 

[Josquius]

If Argentina do win can we then have a game where Messi and the goalkeeper play against the rest of the squad?

It must slick to be Dutch right now. They really looked like the most likely team to win for most of that with Argentina only really threatening a sneaky counter

[Liep]

Wrong Mono, the status quo dictates that Germany should win as they won the last final between the two nations.

[HVC]

All that matters is that tomorrow we're all Argentinians.

Obrigado! Desta vez, não deste azar!

uma vez!

[celedhring]

Romero the hero!

His second save was a monster.

Argies traditionally do very well in shootouts, don't they? They won one in the way to their last final appearance in Italy 90.

[The Larch]

[Liep]

Can the pope with seniority demand a win?
