Diego Maradona getting absolutely torched at the Argentina game brings a smile to my face.

Watch: Diego Maradona flips double birds, Argentina wins

He got sent to the hospital

Idk if I’ve ever seen a game where it was a neutral site in another country thousands of miles away and it felt like an Argentina home game. Loved the emotion of the fans when the goals were scored was incredible

What are these travesties of German uniforms?

I turned on the game and though I was watching Mexico for a a minute.

Mexico might caught a break with the no handball call

I mean they're actually pretty nice.

If Germany were Ireland.

 

[auror]

Germany has been absolute dominant since I started watching, but have had poor services and final connections.

I hate the green uniforms. They use them now and then, when they can't use black.

 

[BlueMAB]

Sweden got screwed, that should have been a handball.

I wonder if Germany realizes they might very well get knocked out if they don't win this game. I'm sure they do, but they don't look like it.

They need to bring Miroslav Klose out of retirement. I don't care if he's 60 (or whatever), the guy was money.

My favorite WC player ever. He only needs to play 5-10 minutes at the end of the game and they get a goal out of it. More than worth a spot.

Werner has been so disappointing coming off consecutive World Cups of Klose and Mueller.

Not sure why Ozil is back in this match. They looked stronger without out him last game.

Matchups I guess, but they've had such consistency problems I'd go with what was clicking.

Also, I'd might put Brandt in there. He's been their super sub, but there's no reason he couldn't bring it all game.

These games have the feel of a few 80+ minute craziness

He's had a couple poor touches, but also a couple good building moments. Kimmich has been bad. Werner needs to make better runs. Khedira has done well keeping possession and pressure high, but services have been bad.

If Sweden and Germany both win 1-0 (or Germany 2-0), Mexico would be out. VERY much in play right now.

Sounds like Spectrum.

How good would that be!
