omg casillas held it.

 

[Flipmo]

Pique is a moron. He should be happy that Casillas saved his ass.

Edit: LOOOL Penalty for Spain

 

[Duke]

LMAO, new penalty for spain! barely a minute later.

 

[Flipmo]

This is ridiculous. LOL

Alonzo has to retake, and misses.

 

[Duke]

Sensational!

 

[2Pax]

Drama!

Spain got pwned.

 

[Scoobyffc]

sensational

We cant complain about lack of emotion..twists and turns

That was awesome...

 

[Scoobyffc]

The penalty that the Paraguaian goalkeeper committed after the 2nd penalty (that he defended) was even more penalty than the original one...

If im hyped up, imagine theses players and respective fans

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

ok

Riquelme wasnt picked because he refused to play after Basile was ousted. a players who seems to have a problem everywhere he goes.

Before a game once, Maradona made a speech to the players. when he finished talking, Zanetti told the other players to pay no attention to what he said. this got back to Maradona. thats what i read anyway.

not sure about Cambiasso. they needed a player like Riquelme and good defenders.

That game you mentioned was the 1-0 win over Uruguay, which was Argentina's best game under Maradona in the qualifiers.

The reason Riquelme retired again was because Maradona publicly criticised him on nation tv. This is the same Maradona who used to say Riquelme was the best player in the world. Theres a reason the Boca fans turned on Maradona and took Riquelmes side in this. Maradona probably never forgave Riquelme since the WC2006 when Riquelme criticised Maradona for coming into the dressing room after they beat Serbia 6-0. He said the players lost focus after that.

Maradona picked too many players, changed the system far too much and really as we all predicted was the downfall of Argentina.


ALSO LOL at the penalties in this game.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

LOL. nice goal

 

[Duke]

Silly goal.

If Spain don't improve, Germany will def. beat them in their semi.

 

[Flipmo]

As I told Duke, this has been a silly match lol

 

[Sebastian]

Germany - Spain

3:0

 

[Duke]

Germany - Spain

3:0

Now I'm hoping for a Spain win over Germany, just because you said that.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Spain will probably prefer to face an attacking side.

 

[Sebastian]

Now I'm hoping for a Spain win over Germany, just because you said that.

You hope for Spain to win because you guys will never beat us.

Anyway, after these two games i just dont give a fuck about being humble.

so its ok to do that is it? what manager would tolerate that? none would.

yes that was a factor as well. but the main reason Riquelme quit was because of how Basile was got rid off. i read this the other way. He was disgusted over it while most of the players wanted Maradona. Thats strange to me if true, because Maradona spoke awful highly of Basile in his book if i recall. (a good read btw)

also from watching Riquelme and reading about him, it appears to be that he is a whiner. all these managers cannot be wrong. its pretty well known that the guy is a jerk.

i dont buy that nonsense about Maradona coming into the dressing caused professional footballers to lose focus. sounds like finger pointing to me.

btw, what was Riquelme's performace like in that 2006 Quarter FInal v Germany. wasnt it fairly poor? i cant remember properly tbh.

also, Riquelme has problems with Martin Palermo as well i believe.

 

[Sebastian]

I would like to add that football, easily, has to be the best god damn thing in this world.

all this said and i can see why Maradona wouldnt pick him or Zanetti. but they could have done with both today and Cambiasso too. no doubt about that. no doubting the talent of those players.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Spain played well in the 2nd half.

i feel for Cardozo. Alonso's penalty being disallowed was a joke imo. talk about inconsistency because when Cardozo hit his penalty 3 Spanish players encroached and why didnt he call for a retake then?

Paraguay can be proud of their performance.
