It hasn't finished, its still in the second part of the extra time. Mexico almost tied it now.

[Rodrigo]

GREAT GAME!

And great second goal by Argentina! I just couldn't believe it! But it was beautiful. :)

Shame the referee was so harsh with Mexico the whole match.

[MGS4-SS]

Next match will be very very good, Germany against Argentina.

[KoL Veteran]

man what a great game. :yes:

[Julius Caro]

Amazing!!!

Great game, both teams!!

[.mcman]

yea, definitely great game.

[Orange]

Amazing game and probably my fav out of the whole world cup. I was happy when Mexico scored but when that home goal happened i knew they be doomed :p

[Martyn]

One of the best games of the tournament and one of the best goals of the tournament!!! :D

[Kamael]

Phew! Now that's football!! GO ARGENTINA!

Also, congrats to Mexico, they have what it takes to make football fun, unlike other teams that have one goal in their net and they give up...

[qdave]

that goal was definately nice, and only for that argentina deserve to win. mexico didnt show absolutely anything in the second half and extension. too bad really. but in te end it doesnt matter who won now, since germans wil beat argentina anyway :D

[ipodman715]

Wow, that was awesome!!!! GG

[L3thal Veteran]

It was a great game and a great goal.

This is why the World Cup is the best event :D

[MEMO.INC]

Well, Congrats to all argentina, great game, I'm proud of my team, Mexico played well, we scored first and managed the game, too bad 2 injuries made the team very tired @ the end. And what a Goal. We can go with our heads high because we played and almost defeated the best team so far in the WC. BTW, Argentina should have won earlier the referee wrongly invalidated the goal at the end of the time.

Oh man.....this world cup disgusts me.

Red card for a Swedish player for nothing....yeah yeah.

The germans made a similar foul during the previous Swedish attack and the referee say nothing.

The german player touched the ball with his hand inside the area and nothing.

And this ball...man, it was made exclusively for the germans.

It looks like they have been using it for years. They shoot from 30-40 mts.

All teams complain about it, but not the germans.

Other day i read Roberto Carlos saying that he cannot get used to it, he said it looks like a plastic ball you buy in a supermarket.

Oh well. Its life.

its the keeper of every team who complain, the normal players pretty much like it

ps: wow... ill upload pictures of my home town's downtown... we have 200,000 inhabitants and this is only the win of the 8th final... i dont wanna know whats goin on when we enter the final xD germany seems to be the party nation number one atm xD

even having a bad ball, which its not, is not an excuse not to play well!

You are correct. That would be Ghana;))

[Krpano]

Does anyone think Heinze should've gotten the red card on that foul when he lost vision of the ball?

No it shouldnt get the red car, there was an Argentinian defender behind the line of that one. Good decision from the referee.

One of the best games of the tournament and one of the best goals of the tournament!!! :D

I totally agree with you, thats a world cup game.

[Orange]

England today!!!!!!! We better show some thing good i mean we need to win :p

[Krpano]

Yeah, it looks promising.

If Ecuador play like their first 2 games, it will be nice to watch. But if they play like against the germans, England will beat them to death....lol

Btw, shame on those fighting outside the stadium.

[Martyn]

I have a bad feeling about England's match with Ecuador :|
