    WHy are team Mexico taking their their anger out on Argentina? If they are pissed they should just all boycott and walk off the field to get their message across.

    How sad is it that the take away from this WC is that the officials make too many poor decisions?

    DaDakota, it WOULD be a great game (between GER and ARG), sir, but please reserve your futuristic comments, sir. This game isn't over yet. :eek:
    This is exactly what I was thinking.

    Yes, we're known to lose our heads. Yes, we're also known to have beaten Argentina before. Who cares what the Ref calls.

    Refs are ruining these games so far.

    a goal in soccer is not even close to being worth 50 points in basketball.

    give a team a 50 point lead to start off the game in the NBA, they'd be undefeated.

    give a team a 1-0 lead to start the game in soccer, it only takes a single score to tie.

    Hoping for 11 red cards per mexico to send a message to the ref, hopefully he wont swallow his whistle.

    True, there is plenty of time for Argentina to pile more points on, or for linesman to watch the players instead of doing their jobs.

    Tattle tale.

    The main ref has been good so far though. He's Italian. :)

    For those coming late to the game DaDakota is for replays. He is giving Swoly a little taste of his own medicine.

    So, we should expect some referee floppage in the 2nd half.

    Yeah sure, it's easy to score a goal.

    Wow, I just saw that England non goal live. That's some BS. On Germany's fourth goal, there was some English guy just jogging up the half line in the middle of the field as the German dude is burning the English defender near the touchline.

    If I was Fabio, i'd be pissed about that.

    I recall Argentina beating Mexico back in 2006 as well.

    Some things you just gotta live with, it is like Ghana eliminating the USA two world cups in a row. Some teams just own you on the big stage, and it will be made all the sweeter when you can finally overcome them.

    I hope Mexico plays honorably the rest of the game, win or lose. It would make a huge different in how the rest of us (the non-Mexicans) view this Mexico team when it is all set and done. They work hard and play well, and we all applaud them for a job well done, win or lose. They act like a bunch of childish amateurs and highly-paid thugs, and I can't help but view them with contempt.

    Not at all, Mexico is actually playing very well. I wouldn't be surprise if they scored in 2nd half and spend the rest of it looking for the equalizer.
