Thanks a lot anyway. Most appreciated

Good point Jim and Sky. I mean, if we had have gone 2-1 then it would have been carnage both on and off the pitch because of that goal.
I think Germany were trying for the 5-1 of '66 in the last minutes...

ajrimmer42 · 06-27-10, 01:01 PM

ah well, it's still 2-1 to Blighty

Don't you mean the game in 2001

'66 was 4-2

Almost halftime. Second very brutal misjudgement of the day: the 1:0 for Argentinia was offsides, and very clearly so. It seems to me this misjudgement has had an even greater psychological effect on the disadvantaged team, Mexico, than the missed 2:2 had for England.

Looks like Germany vs Argentinia. Not the best of memories for Germany. But who wants to become children must be capable to beat EVERY opponent.

how long before FIFA will FINALLY show the decent professionalism to include what already is well-proven standard in other team sports like hockey: the video evidence, or chipped balls? All excuses I ever heared for not going on that path were foul excuses by old men trying to prevent any change to those precious memories of theirs. To willingly invite and not prevent misjudgements of this game-deciding callibre is nothing but betrayal of the one team, and rude unfairness and lacking sportsmanship. to my knowledge hockey or american football have not suffered in excitement or legend-building just because they have the video-evidence.

In fairness I also think Argentina will win but I can't really predict the scoreline. The force must be strong with you

Yes I think your right

Because unlike Test Cricket where all the 'powerful' nations backed a policy for its introduction, you only hear an outcry from the footballing nation who suffer a detriment as a result of the lack of such equipment and only for a short period thereafter.

What is needed is a consistent campaign on introducing it on a trial period for a major tournament to see how well it performs.

There was a vote recently where all the governing football bodies were given a free vote on whether to introduce it or not and suprisingly (on the home front) it was only the Irish who voted against.

A bit suprising when you consider what happened to their neighbours across the border in the recent qualifier with France

Most governing bodies are dinosaurs who are reluctant to give up the power they have to technology....just look at the biaised fool who heads FIFA for starters.

Is the first price a youth pill?

So, it's going to be Argentina vs Germany after all. This will be a very interesting match. By the way, Messi hasn't scored yet in this tournament. This is funny.
