Germany-Argentina result

Oh woe, oh woe!

I knew as soon as they went to penalty shootout Germany were through.

Did anyone else feel the ref was biased against Argentina?

It was a good and entertaining game though. Just felt that the ref made too many calls in Germany's favour, and waved off incidents against the Argentinians.

Looks like Germany might make it to the finals then.

I guessed that someone would say that. First, let me say I'm a Germany fan but dude, no worries.. I DO think that the ref was siding to Germany. It wasnt all that good. Argentina deserves better (if they didnt go into penalty shoot-out).

Argentina's keeper sucked during P-S-O

Well, at times yes, the ref slightly favored the Germans, but there was no blunder from his performance overall. I'm a German fan too. Thought Ballack should've got a yellow card for that foul in the penalty box. Other than that, Lehmann was brilliant! :-) Heads up...

As history has shown, penalty shootouts tend to favour "Zee Chermans" ;) You just knew they were gonna come through again especially as the Argies had their reserve keeper on.

agree w/ bankman, re: reserve keeper. :-(

as for Lehmann's performance, yeah, he was good, i'll give him that.
