  • george curt

    JA, JA, Ja!!!!

  • Jewish Guy

    Go Go Go Argentina!!!

    Get them Frits bastards!!!

  • Rolf Habich

    To Jewish Guy:

    Forgiven!
    (The next few, too.)

  • drew

    “Jewish guy” may we call you J&^ for short… can’t wait to see your Argys beaten…

  • Jewish Guy

    Brazilian renowned journalist Juca Kfouri tells to ARG and BRZ to be careful
    Brazilian renowned journalist Juca kfouri says that FIFA is very affraid of seeing Brazil lifting their sixth trophy

    He says that FIFAґs president Joseph Blatter fears that this would give even more power to the president of Brazilian confederation Ricardo Teixeira who wants to bid for Blatterґs place in 2007 FIFAґs elections

    In a conversation in “off” with a journalist, Blatter said he feels he was betrayed by Teixeira and started to mention that there are other options for 2014 WC, a Cup that was pretty much assured for Brazil.

    Both barely talk to each other in the World Cup Groupґs drawing.

    He also says that FIFA is affraid of Brazil winning a sixth title in Germany would make them favorites to win a seventh title in South Africa 2010 (Brazil is the only country to win Cups outside of their continent) and then a HUGE favorite to win a eighth title in Brazil 2014 which would ruin FIFA biggest product. .the World Cup, who could becomea predictable and boring competition like Formula 1 after Schumacher dominated for some years.. and that FIFA DOESNT want a southamerican team winning the cup in Europe, because it would diminish the interest of european people (FIFAґs main market) in the competition…

    He says that both Brazil and Argentina now should pay attention to bad calls.. because until now, FIFA had no interest in former champions to went down (seeing how the 2002 WC was lame), but now is a different scenario and for FIFA, a France vs Germany or Germany vs England final is so much interesting (economically, politically and for the good of World Cup) then an Argentina vs Brazil final.

    And after refereeґs scandals in Germany 2004, Brazil 2005 and Italy 2006, we shouldnt be so cetic about corruption in football.. he confirms he has his reasons and confidencials informations to believe in this.

  • izzy Dillon

    I do believe Mex’s game will turn out great for us.
    There is something good behind…
    We know how you are playing …but you dont really know how WE are playing…
    Argentina will WIN cos ur are thinking that we already sunk…no pro team peaks too early..no player whom play in the tops ligas.
    Being local would mean just more presure for u…remember polan..u were bubbbbbbb..cos u were not scoring…..

  • izzy Dillon

    i understand the jew…he knows about football

  • izzy Dillon

    from fifa.com

    The towering German defenders are keeping their feet on the ground and know that they will have to continue their rich vein of form if they are to keep a clean sheet against Juan Riquelme and Co this Friday.
    So How was the one saying u are bloody unbeat….ja!

  • D10S

    ARGENTINA WILL WIN AGAINST germany!!!
    VAMOS ARGENTINA, VAMOS!!!

  • Marcy

    It is absolutely amazing the comeback Germany has made. Before the world cup only a very small percentage of Germans believed their country had any chance of taking the cup.

    Few people took Germany seriously. How things have changed. Playing at home is a huge advantage. Though it will very close and tight, Germany may just squeeze through.

    If POrtugal doesn´t win, the team I would most like to take the cup is Germany because it would give the country something to be proud about, create a renewed sense of identity and, of course, because of the great job they´ve done organizing this humongous event.

    Play fair and may the most deserving team previal!!!

  • Rolf Habich

    Thank you, Marcy !

    Can’t contradict :-) even if I wanted.

    And good luck to you against the “Gurkentruppe” (roughly translated: “cucumber squad”
    from that little island next to Europe.

    FORCA PORTUGAL !!!

  • Bob

    Guys Guys Guys….. put your feelings aside if you want to speak FOOTBALL, the Germans are not only playing on their fields, they are showing a strong bond and harmony between them whether you like them or not. Well, I don’t know how well educated you are all in soccer, but the number of brilliant players in the team is considerable, I’m not going to compare them to any other team but just watch there confidence in the field.
    Germany is obviously going to the finals.
    At the end, I would like to know, what the hell is going on now? The Jewish want to play and manipulate football now, please spare us and leave this game without your hatred.
    You want to play and speak football stop you dirty games.
    Good Luck Germany.

  • Linda

    I’d like to see Germany win the Cup. Argerntines, along with most Latin Americans are much too arrogant about their “futbol.” Many I’ve spoken to have already dismissed Germany are looking ahead. I’d like to see them taken down a peg or two! Besides, I can’t stand that little scumbag, Maradona! Go Germany!

  • Raul

    Deutschland will DESTROY Argentina!!

    VICTORY IS OURS!

  • Jurgen

    Vorwärts Kameraden!

  • Argentina

    Germany are a bunch of fakers and cry-babies. Is it true that every team that plays you gets a player sent off. You are finally going to meet some real opposition in Argentina. I hope you don’t get help from the officials.

  • gino

    argentina have already faced much tougher opposition then germany, so i’m confident argentina will prevail. germany got a much easier group then argentina so come on

  • gino

    argentina have defeated the best african team in the ivory coast, and serbia which only conceded 1 goal in the qualifiers that sent spain to a playoff to qualify, and offcourse holland, what could be tougher then that?

  • gino

    ecuador, costa rica and poland. that’s too easy

  • Bobby

    To Argentine Supporters: I wonder where are you going to be few hours from now, what will you say when you see the score 2 or 3 to Germany, of course you would say it is a set up since that’s what you do when you’re a looser. But dears, this is not how football is played; it is obvious that you don’t play that game and just trying to imitate what footballers say. Take a deep breath when you watch the game because you will not be able to face the German Powers.

  • Bobby

    Oh I almost forgot, the boats your dreams will be destroyed on the Bavarian solid rocks.
    But still not sure how many goals you will eat today, but the problem is that you cannot digest it. It’s ok go back home and you shall continue playing but only on your level.

    Oliver Sits Painfully

    Have you seen the look in the face of Oliver Kahn during the World Cup competition even after winning a game? Media has not stopped going after the controversy between Oliver, Klinsmann and Lehmann about Jurgen’s decision to bench Oliver in favo…

  • La12

    My dear krauts,

    Look at the bright side: After the game, unlike other teams, you won’t have to take a long trip back home. Your loving aufseherinnen will be waiting to comfort your grief just around the corner.

    Sigan participando!

  • Argentina4Life

    Germany has no chance against Argentina. This is the first time Germany will face anyone with talent and the Germans will be shown to be the mediocre team they are. Argentina will win easily 4-1.

  • Rolf Habich

    Hear that lovely argie fans’ music?

    It is their whistling in a very dark (German) forest.

  • Dave

    Sorry Germany – you will meet your match today and go out of the WC – your team will fight but in the end you will be beaten by a better team.

    2-0 Argentina in 90 mins for me

  • cucumber sandwich

    rolf, greetings from the little island next to europe. you and your stereotypes. i can see you now in your leather shorts, slapping your thighs, big stein in hand , oompahh band playing. you and your chums massing on polands borders ready to invade.good lord man, have you such a small mind.got to go just starting the spit up tally ho.

  • izzy Dillon

    I dont see why everyone of u dont open your eyes and give me a FACT why the argies will not defeat Germany.
    My point: What about Germans…do they have something that we dont have…
    I dont really see Germany winning this game.
    I am argentina but not stupid and I have seen both team playing and when they were or are on their best my country is just better…so it is a final and we gonna make your game or party as hard as mex did to us…but we will win…
    Let´s put usd 1.000.- on a table – bank acc…i dont care cos I gonna suck every single dime from each of u..american, germans or brits.

  • izzy Dillon

    LOOK AT THE SKIE….IT IS SHINNING….
    IT IS BLUE AND WHITE…..WITH A GOLDEN SUN….
    HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE
    EL CHE WHO DIE WITH HIS BOOTS ON.!!!!

  • izzy Dillon

    ROLF I WOULD NOT ADVICE ANY ARGIE TO GO TO THE GERMAN FOREST…THERE IS ALWAYS AN UNEXPECTIVE SURPRICE!

  • izzy Dillon

    NICE JOKE…A HEAVY ONE..! WELL DONT BE A PAIN ´N NECK ABOUT U BEING SUPERIOR..U DONE IT ONCE AND WENT VERY WRONG…U DID NOT LEARN FROM UR PAST…BEING MODEST WOULD FIT YOU BETTER….

  • Bobby

    To the Argentine Supporters:
    Please try to eat something before the game since you’re not going to have the appetite after the game for a while.
    Good Luck German.

  • izzy Dillon

    I love how much maradona´s goal still means for u mate….20 years ago!!!!!!
    as i always say: u should be glad his done it with his hand…cos when he played with his boots….
    god save the queen!!!!

  • Rolf Habich

    izzy,

    don’t put be in that bag …
    We have been modest for a long time and will continue to be, but not each and every day and particularly not when other people’s superiority posture is so abundant.
    Enjoy the game, though, whoever may win.

  • Bobby

    I told you Germany will win after all.
    next game to Germany i guess it will be with Ukrane.

  • izzy Dillon

    I am argie and here.
    First Congatulation.
    I still happy coz we done a great game. We could have done it but this time around it just didi not happen.
    Thanks argies for such a good game.
    THANKS ARGENTINA. WELL DONE.

  • Rolf Habich

    Compliments to Argentina!

    I neither think they were better nor do I think Germany were better.

    Germany was luckier – won yet another one of those penalty shootouts. Maybe on account of greater physical strength, which is important for the nerves in a shootout.

  • cosmik debris

    Well done Germany. I’d buy Lehmann drinks all night. Hopefully we’ll meet in Berlin on the 9th.

    From a well satisfied England fan.
    Cheers!

  • bela-G

    GERMANY ALL THE WAY!!!

    5-3 Vs. Argentina… YOU SUCK… dont for get u got BALLACK, PODOLSKI, BOROWSKI, KLOSE…

  • jack terminator

    Same partial and corrupt (yes!) performance by MICHEL LUBOS (SKL) as in the POR:MEX game
    now again: GER:ARG 30 June 2006 … again:

    how he failed to see the second potential penalty kick in favor of ARGENTINA !

    MICHEL LUBOS should be banned from any major game for life.

  • Gallivanter

    Don’t be a sore loser and blame the ref. If anything it was Pecker-man’s fault for the negative substitutions.

  • Angie Merkel

    I think Germany and England will be in the final. Scary but fairy. At least none of the English or Germans whine around and blame everybody else.

  • NOT fair !

    Klose didn’t get ANY punishment for his kicking Arg goalkeeper in ribs so hard that he was carried away and substituted later ! not even yellow card.

    I bet if it didn’t happen – there won’t have been either Klose’s goal nor Germans’ win on penalties.

    looks like a dirty play ! and referee – clown ! where he was looking at ?

  • http://endroo.blogspot.com/ endroo G

    Geez…

    To all Germany fans all over the world who is reading this, let’s sing..

    Don’t cry out loud, Argentina
    The truth is Germany beat you
    All through my wild dreams
    My expectations
    Die Mannschaft promised
    Don’t keep your distance
    Have I said too much? There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you
    But all you have to do is look at me to know that every word is true

    *This is the revised-to-suit-the-occasion chorus of the famous Madonna’s song “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”

  • dirty game

    ohhh of course it was like that …
    the referee was a knob pro-germany and the german players dirty assholes … who injured intentionally abbondanzieri to go to penalties … and that bastard lehmann was reading that small paper with all the last penalties kicked by the arg players …
    oh, and this is for the uk idiots that are happy bc ger won :
    just remember:
    1986
    1998
    and … 2006 … great elizondo’s match
    :D

  • WillkommenzumFußball

    hint to Switzerland: don´t practice penalty-shooting on steep mountain-meadows!

    and thx for the nice comments from UK (no really)
