[yankspurs]

This is gonna end on penalties. Ugh

Someone give messi a red bull. He's strolled that entire second half

I really thought dimichelis was going to be a weak link this tourney but he's been excellent.

To be fair he was much more solid for City towards the end of the season.

 

[dirtyh]

for a supposedly weak link, boateng has been a colossus

 

[LSUY]

What about all those Argie chancea?

Higuain's & Messi's misses are Argentina's stand out chances whereas Germany's on target shots (the only ones in the game so far) would have probably gone in if there was any power behind them.

 

[Shanks]

Too close to predict, so going to just enjoy it!

Been superb and to be fair to him he was superb in the last 2 months of the Prem last season.

 

[spurs mental]

Some last ditch stuff at the end there. ET should be good watching, game looked like it was starting to get stretched.

Would like to see Draxler or Podolski on for Ozil.

 

[chinaman]

If it comes to PKs the Argies are going to win it.

Messi will probably score the winner to be a hero, bit like jonny Wilkinson, had a terrible game in 03 rugby wc, but a scored the winning points and will always be the hero.

People moan about Ronaldo's attitude but Messi just walked whilst the manager was addressing the team

Have the Germans ever lost a penalty shoot out?

 

[Indisguise]

This is gonna end on penalties. Ugh

Gawd, I hope not. There's something really offensive about settling a World Cup on penalties.

 

[Gbspurs]

Great defending Germany.

 

[Syn_13]

Boateng has really turned up tonight.

 

[dontcallme]

Have the Germans ever lost a penalty shoot out?

Lost one ages ago and haven't lost since

 

[beats1]

Have the Germans ever lost a penalty shoot out?

Their club penalties record is terrible but I think the national team only lost like 1 penalty in a couple of decades

 

[Gbspurs]

Have the Germans ever lost a penalty shoot out?

I will never back Germany to win a Shoot out after Bayern vs Chelsea. I know they weren't all German but still.

 

[LSUY]

Have the Germans ever lost a penalty shoot out?

Yes. The two Kyles beat Holtby and Freund. It was a sad day for Germany.

Spoiler

I thought that but he might have just been walking to the centre circle for kick off.
