IF SWEDEN HAD HAVE SCORED WITH THAT PENALTY, THE WHOLE GAME DYNAMIC WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IN THE SECOND HALF !!

(still keeping count ? :))

Who is he? That grumpy old man on the bench? ;)

Who can stop Germany, really?

Argentina having an hard time, it's good to see Mexico play like this. :)

I am amazed every match Germany plays. Every match it feels like this was the best they've played. They keep on improving :o

They have had some trouble in defense, but it's impossible to not have trouble against a world class team like Sweden.
But still 26/5 chances for Germany......wow.

That second goal by Argentina was brilliant. That was also the best game of the cup so far imo.

Well, the difference between Argentina and Mexico was an awesome goal coming out from nowhere. :o

I really can't see this Argentina stopping Germany.

It was a cast iron penalty.
stfu and try to watch a replay of the "foul", it was Larson who was pushing the defender.

/note to self: ignore slimshady on football matters from now on.

Definitely the best match so far (Australia v Croatia is close though). End to end stuff in the first half. Very tense and exciting in the second. Great goal to end it. Mexico really took it to Argentina but they just ran out of steam in the end. When you can bring the likes of Aimar, Messi and Tezez off the bench you know you're always going to have a great chance.

So looks like it might be 4-1-4-1 for England tomorrow (erm, today? It's late).

I must say I'm a bit worried about Hargreaves at rightback. Sven says he can play almost anywhere in midfield and defence. We'll see. That must mean that Jamie Carragher hasn't impressed in that position. I'd have to agree. Ferdinand looks set to start which is a plus.

Rooney up front on his own, which will mean the four in midfield will have to bomb on to support him. Hopefully Carrick will give enough cover.

It could work but wish it had been tried before the World Cup. I've never been too keen on a lone striker.

Since the formation and players have yet to be announced this could well turn out to be bollocks. Just going by media reports.
