It's so much worse when you are shooting second :no:

edit: It's a real shame Argentina had to lose their goalie in the second half. Made things much worse :/

[Sethos]

Ohhhh hes crying :p

[macro]

****ing bull****.... good game for the Germans and congrats, but man, losing in a shootout without your goalie, what can you do... it's a ****ing bitter loss :|

LEHMANN IS THE BEST! :)

THAT was the ticket to BERLIN! :)

every team left was not as good as exepted, we are gonna be world champion!!! :)

[djpnuemo]

good for lehman. those were great saves, but i now am rooting against germany. podolski throwing the heil to the crowd after scoring his penalty. piece of trash. he should fined for that.

[sin-ergy]

I don't even want to watch the Italy Urakaine game. Italy's last win was bull****.

Then again so was this. Argentina had this game :(

They were lucky. Both teams played well, I think argentina played better overall, too bad that german goal...

Anyway, WE DIDN'T LOSE!

[instant.human]

no he didnt, djpnuemo. be careful. first he came from poland so he would never do something like that and second you can easily misinterpret every waving, especially after something like that.

[qdave]

YEAH!!!!!! germany won!!!! I knew lehman will save the game :) Now defeating itali will be peace of cake for them :)

i didnt liked that argentinians started to fight...very lame!

[the godfather]

Germany had to go through, host nation, finalists 4 years ago. I think we'll see them in the final too.

[djpnuemo]

no he didnt, djpnuemo. be careful. first he came from poland so he would never do something like that and second you can easily misinterpret every waving, especially after something like that.

if you watch the replay, he sticks his arm and hand STRAIGHT out. it was no wave. and don't tell me to be careful.

[_I am Reptar]

Germany!

[Leo Natan]

After a bad game, at least GER wins the match...

I want GER-FRA in the finals :)

[Krpano]

^ lol

every team left was not as good as exepted, we are gonna be world champion!!! :)

Sure you will.

:laugh:

Anyway this match proved my theory.

Germans could not win against Argentina. (could at the penalties, but not during the gameplay)

And if you think that with this kind of game you can beat BR, germans must be dreaming.

Well, sure it will be fun to beat you again in the final.

Specially infront your own crowd.

;)

oh you should be.

podolski is too dumb to do anything like that and even if it LOOKED LIKE the hail he obviously didnt do it on purpose, his parents came from poland and i think you know what the nazis did with that country?

[giga Veteran]

Props to Germany for sticking through with that last minute goal and Lehmann for those saves.

Argentina still played the better game. I give my heart to them and they should be proud for their accomplishments. Ayala - you did great.

I'm still disapointed in Ballack. Diving and faking like that to give Ayala a yellow. :no: Bad bad.

[djpnuemo]

yes, i know the history. that doesn't mean he would NEVER do it. i know what i saw and other places i've been talking about the world cup, others saw it too.

what, am i not allowed to give my opinion?! YOU be careful!

[L3thal Veteran]

This game was evenly matched for 120 minutes. Two opportunities for each, two goals, and Germany wins the PK's.

Props to Germany for sticking through with that last minute goal and Lehmann for those saves.

It was far away from last minute :pinch:

[instant.human]

what, am i not allowed to give my opinion?! YOU be careful!

oh you certainly are.

but i saw that different.

am i not allowed to give my opinion?

WE BOTH should be careful.

[L3thal Veteran]

Can we please leave this political talk aside?

[djpnuemo]

WE BOTH should be careful.

:D

that definitely was a drama filled game. i was sitting on the edge of my seat for a LONG time. i really was rooting or argentina. although, winning the world cup when your the host, is probably the best feeling in the world. good luck to them.
