Yes. And that's how football becomes ugly too, imho.

I don't think that's fair to Argentina - Messy didn't show up last night and Argentina were still unlucky not to win. The Goalie was their star player imho and their defence was outstanding. Except for that one slip last night.
I wouldn't say they were unlucky. If you don't take your chances then you wont win, they crumbled under the pressure when it really mattered.

how many shots on goal did argentina have? Gotze>Messi give him two more years.
Gotze still has a way to go. The potential is there though

This german team has potential, Shurle, Kroos, Gotze, Reus. All going to be world beaters.
Disappointed with David Luiz tho. Was all over the place except for that freak free kick, lost money coz of that
Why did messi get the golden boot? Didnt james rodrigues score more goals?
They've got lots of quality. To think that they didn't have the likes of gundogan, Reus, Smeltzer and still managed to win the World cup is quite something. I can see them winning the next world cup as well at this rate
He's not the best centre back. He goes forward quite well but he's dodgy at the back. He's probably a better DM
Messi got Golden Ball for best player of the tournament (laughable really) and Rodriguez got Golden boot for most goals

Argentine keeper would have made more sense. Or even Muller.

I agree. I meant that tracking a gifted player by 3 or more defenders stifles the spirit of football. But I realise that that's how it is.

And today in "stuff no one cares about"...
Sounds like a personal problem. I love women's soccer.

It would be hard to score the James Rodriguez goal with a sports bra, so would the the gotze goal..

No it wouldn't. First, you probably mean with boobs not with the bra, and secondly women are taught to trap the ball with their chests the same way men are. They learn how to do it with their bodies, just like the dudes do.

Well Ive got huge tits and the ball just bounces off. Maybe I just suck at it
*shrug* I don't know. I just know that in high school we were taught how to trap and plenty of girls have boobs then. It was just as common as for the guys, and just like the guys learn how to change the shape and angle of their chests to trap the ball, we did too. The national teams are clearly better at it than we were.
