That would have been in '86. They played in the final of the '90 WC and Argentina played all 11 players back and for a tie.
Damn Germans! I knew it though, I called it did I not? The Argentines can look like World beaters (which they have), and they probably would have beaten any other team NOT named Germany. But Germany has always had their number, I cant explain it at all. They have always been a terrible matchup for Argentina. The only Latin American team that can beat the Germans is Brazil. Hardly surprising given the last 20+ years of soccer history. It may take the Russians to beat back the Germans again
Germany always looked favorable to me but massacring Argentina like this? Didn't think they'd win this big.
All you peeps that were saying Messi is THE G.O.A.T, where are you now?!!!? :grin: Schweinstiger was a beast today...then again Argentina's defense was crap. Spain vs Germany for the World Cup.....first Euro champion away from Europe.
If an Euro team wins this year, it will break the pattern since 1962 that has alternated between Europe and South America So the only way the pattern continues is for Uruguay or Paraguay to win.....
Wow Argentina just got an ass-kicking of a lifetime! I thought this game was going to be a tight game... guess I'm wrong. Well done Germany! I want to see Netherlands v Germany in the final just because these two teams hate each other.
The Curse Of Michael Ballack? He's usually runner up so he's not in this world cup due to injury. What happens if Germany wins the world cup? Ballack is usually runner up :grin:
