worst pass completion of the tournament against Switzerland. Gave away the ball 51 times

everyone has been down on di maria, & it's true he's been profligate w/ possession, but he has also been the most dynamic element in a quite cautious & slow argentina side (ignoring the awesome nigeria match), so he could afford to be. also he scored a crucial goal. lots of dominant teams/players have been judged v harshly this WC, oh well.

Hello and thanks.
― oppet, Sunday, 13 July 2014 14:27 (eleven years ago)
Yeah Argentina have looked markedly more pedestrian since Di Maria's injury. Kroos should be in there over him and Pjanic though.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 13 July 2014 14:30 (eleven years ago)
Those ref decisions in the Italy game, people refuse to acknowledge, were actually correct. Totti dived, and the offside were offside. In a game before that there was a bad call, but the reffing was so overblown, like a ref never had made a mad call before.
Um, no: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ZPd8YmFcvtQ#t=106
― Plasmon, Sunday, 13 July 2014 14:58 (eleven years ago)
Man, those games sound epic with that music. I suppose you can see how the Tommasi and Morientes offsides could be given - but the Totti and Joaquin decisions, ffs.
Nice to be reminded of Helguera's existence, haven't thought about him in years.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 July 2014 15:18 (eleven years ago)
Anyway I kind of want Argentina to take this, though I really can't justify this beyond <3 for Masch, plus their supporters putting on a good show.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 July 2014 15:48 (eleven years ago)
The Argies fans deserve praise for their Creedence Clearwater Revival revival. Bad Moon Rising is back in their top 10 this week bcz the song against Brazil they came up with.

It actually made my Classic Rock most-hated top 10, but I do love their version.

Fantastic lack of decorum to that walkout music, like they're in a Japanese RPG or something.
Thomas Mueller clearly forgotten the words to the anthem there, marvellous.

Demichelis had the look of man feeling very, very vindicated during the anthem. Which was nice for him.

Oh, it's the pettiness that's the best thing about the Germans. Especially when it totally fails.
