Absolutely. Probably been the better side by a thin margin so far. At worst dead even.Anyone still think there's no way for Argentina to win this?
oh... they look very capable of scoring.Anyone still think there's no way for Argentina to win this?
Which foul? I must have missed something.Excellent game so far.
Should have been a red too.
Howedes showed his spikes and went in very high.Which foul? I must have missed something.Excellent game so far.
Should have been a red too.
German player cleated a dude in the nuts.Which foul? I must have missed something.Excellent game so far.
Should have been a red too.
That wasn't nearly as blatant as karate kicking a guy in the chest.Def. a red there. 2nd straight final where a player shouldve beenr sent off in the first half...

It is tough in a game with 3 subs. Forcing someone to sit out hurts a team. I guess you could give them a free sub but then you'll have to have an independent person do the testing.FIFA really need to look at the concussion thing. Kramer out on his feet 15 minutes after the impact.]
Yep, great game so far.This is an excellent game overall -- sides playing different styles and playing them well.
Same thing they do every game. The NFL hasn't messed around with concussions the last several years. The process is independent and consistent.It is tough in a game with 3 subs. Forcing someone to sit out hurts a team. I guess you could give them a free sub but then you'll have to have an independent person do the testing.And the problem is, this is the WC final. I'd love to see what the NFL does if Manning or Brady got a concussion in the Super Bowl.FIFA really need to look at the concussion thing. Kramer out on his feet 15 minutes after the impact.]
They are a fantastic team.Germany's fun to watch. Just seem so much more "precise" then most other teams?![]()
i actually think they have done a nice job shutting down passing lanes (cutting off passes). they have been tight..forcing germany to be patient and very precise, which they are.... having to choose their spots. very fun seeing both teams working their strengths.Argentina giving them way too much space in midfield..not going to end well I'd they keep that up
true...Vaterlandgreat opportunity for die fadderland
Yes, laziest guy in soccer. Don't know how he makes the squad.messi always this lazy?
Except when the GK hits them in the head.not seeing much called on argentina
I think it was largely the demands of ex-players that made the NFL finally take it seriously. I don't think FIFA will do anything until someone is seriously hurt or killed via a concurrent concussion.Concussion - players will have to demand that it is addressed. Easy solution is to allow/require an additional sub for anyone taken off for a head injury. Could it be abused, sure, but I suspect not as often as opponents to the change would believe.
Should require some form a concussion protocol that must be followed prior to clearing the player to return. (I would allow a player to re-enter the game for the same sub if he receives medical clearance.)
