Yeah, it was a great game to watch - and I do have to hand it to Argentina, they really did do well and were equally deserving, shame they had to end with such a visible feeling of disappointment, almost shock really.
The tension in that whole game was palpable - especially for the 2nd half. Schweinsteiger was practically the official punching bag of the match. And then you had that moment at I think about 110 minutes where the German bench nearly rushed out onto the field in frustration - for a team that's been methodical, confident and cool throughout this tournament, that definitely says a lot. Only Argentina managed to put Germany on edge like that.
