De Futebol

Author: I hate to say this but Maradona was in way over his head. Yes, Argentina looked great against so-so teams. When Argentinos came up against a very good side, they had their heads handed to them.
Germany administered a good old fashioned butt whipping on Argentina 4-0.
If this were a prizefight, this would have been stopped in the eighth round.
Argentina had the name players Tevez, Messi, and Higuain.
Germany took it the Argentines right from the outset.
A huge foul gave Germany a free kick from the edge of the left box.
Bastian Schweinsteiger nailed a perfect free kick into the box.
Argentina “D” fell asleep. This allowed Thomas Muller to poke home the header in the 3rd minute.
Bing presto the match changed on its head.
Germany seized control.
Argentina attempted to attack but the German’s completely stone cold stopped em.
Messi couldn’t crack the code. Neither could Tevez or Higuain.
Three-second half lightening quick counter attacks by Germany sent Argentina packing.
The Germans played classic tic-tack-doe futebol.
This was more like buda bing buda boom.
The boom was of sonic proportions.
Miroslav Klose hit the daily double.
Klose now has 14 World Cup goals.
He is tied for second with countrymen Gerd Muller at 14.
All time golden boot leader is Ronaldo with 15.
I am very happy Argentina lost big time.
This just proves my point.
Maradona was a great player but as a coach, he sucks big time.
Argentina advanced as far as they could with an idiot as a leader.
Argentinos was ill prepared for Germany.
The Germans stacked the middle.
Instead of swinging the ball to the wings, Argentina tried for force the ball up the middle.
This was a dumb.
You take what the “D” gives you.
A real futebol coach would have made adjustments.
Maradona is not a real futebol coach.
This serves you right Argentina.
If you clowns had won, Maradona and his cohorts would have been ego mantic boors.
Stick a fork in Maradona and Argentina are surely done.
Spain eked out a huge 1-nil win over Paraguay.
Two huge PK stops by Paraguay keeper Justo Villar and Spanish keeper Iker Casillas.
It took 83 minutes before Spain cracked the Paraguayan code.
David Villa nailed the rebound winner off the right post in the 83rd minute to Spain to its first World Cup Semifinals.
Spain will take on Germany.
Both of these sides battled each other in the 2008 European Championship.
Paraguay put up a huge fight.
Kudos to Paraguay for their valiant effort against the mighty Spanish but Spain was not to be denied on this day.
Spain is one of the favorites to win the cup.
Will Spain become first World Cup champ that lost it’s opening match?
We will see.

Germany has become a real force in this competition despite having many young players in the squad, and also missing their captain Ballack, but if they continue to play like this I predict they will win the cup
Germany is playing really well. They took both England and Argentina to the woodshed. The South Americans especially Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile were a surprise to the rest of the world but not me. For I have been following South American futebol since 1995. Uruguay will give the Netherlands lots of trouble. Spain-Germany will be a classic. Spain could be the first team to win after losing their first world cup match. It is good to see teams that have not won it before in contention for the title. I am sad Brasil lost but I am happy Argentina got killed by Germany.
