Something about Argentina just screams final to me! idk why haha
You're right about the inexperience on that team. But they will have one of the most, if not the most talented squads taken to South Africa. And I guess I'm relying on that talent to push them through..

Get ready to see a HUGE jump for Paraguay in the FIFA rankings also. From 31 to the teens I bet.

I agree, the kid has been a stud the whole tournament, i've also been EXTREMELY impressed with Khedira, hes been excellent going forward and his passes are laser accurate. I think the whole German team's stock went up, wont be a cheap player on the team after the cup, hopefully Arsene splashes some cash and adds one or two of them. I hear Mertesacker is on his top priority list, that would be amazing.

Still, Maradona didn't accept any blame for the crushing defeat, and lashed out at a reporter who questioned whether his critics in Argentina might be satisfied with the loss.

"Are you joking," he said. "This is a country where you live and breathe football. I don't think that anyone will be happy when the team loses 4-0."

you want the whole damn German team dont ya! I agree though Khedira is a HUGE help with how he has been playing. At first it sucked that Ballack was hurt because any true Germany fan would be disappointed in that...but I also realized that this would be a huge opportunity for younger players to step up to the plate and show they deserve to be there. And oh boy did Ozil, Khedira, and Muller prove they are the future!!!

Jesus christ I feel raped. Haven't been able to sit down. Damn germans.

Bah. Bring on the tour de france.

Most of that team out there was under 25 years old, I think we're about to see a decade of German dominance in europe, hell, the world. Crazy.

I think Xavi is better about picking out *that* pass, but Schweinsteiger might be more dangerous on the ball as he's not afraid to shoot.

I love watching Barca & Spain, but at times, Xavi is too unselfish.

I'd like xavi more if he shut his damn mouth over transfer rumors more. Can't deny his talents though.

Fabregas made out of glass? What'd I miss??

[cow]

I suppose he was talking about his being injured most of the season?

[G37Sam]

I think I just found the reason behind the success of the Mannschaft
