Scoring opportunities but no score.

These adidas all in or nothing commercials are phenomenal.

Super Bowl action movies expendable 3 this time will include Mel Gibson, Wesley snipes,and it looks like some female action star. Oh almost forgot Antonio banderas.

Game going exactly how I expected so far

So low scoring game?

I won't be shocked if Argentina loses resulting in long frustration of not of goals they didn't score resulting in a win.

 

[firestorm]

To much power

I can't speak for the poster you all are responding to, but you guys need some reading comprehension skills before you decide to just lambast someone on here. He was probably talking about the victims. Not the damn Germans!

If you want to start a petition drive to require that all posts include preambulatory statements of intent I'll sign on.

Argentina defense has been brilliant so far. Beautiful to watch.

How these idiots come up with whom the foul is on, or that there IS one, famfoozles me.

Two feet with studs showing will be called every time.

Vlaar has been fantastic all tournament.

I don't argue those, but some of the calls have been horrid.

The Dutch have finally decided to attack. Let's see if that opens up a counter for Messi

 

[Persian Vol]

Both team have played super conservative game and refuse to bring up their defense into the attack. Teams would rather worsen their chance at scoring a goal than allow the other to get a chance on the counter

Playing the ball back has it's place. The Dutch have spent the lion's share of the game doing it (something I despise, if playing for a tie). If they push, great, but i became firmly in the Argentine corner when it became clear they were playing for the win.

Mascherano has to be MOTM

 

[firestorm]

Looks like we will be going to Ot

 

[firestorm]

Yep Ot we are going to

 

[volball625]

Lavezzi is gassed

 

[firestorm]

And another 15 Ot

 

[bleedorange0037]

And another 15 Ot

The second 15 minutes was happening whether or not a goal was scored in the first half of ET.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Argentina gave it a go. With RVP out I wonder who gets added to the PK lineup for Holland.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Guess it ll be an unsolved mystery.

 

[firestorm]

Topnotch finish indeed a one goal win would be dull.

And how the heck is this imperfect

 

[firestorm]

Today was the complete opposite yesterday was a blowout all goals Scored in regulation today was a stalemate there had to be decided by penalty kicks.

Today a very close game yesterday was never close.

Because it's viewed as being only slightly less random that just drawing straws.
