Wwe were watching it over a manager's PC on ESPN over the Internet.

Officially, I'm supposed to be happy - after all I work for Siemens.

but... "Argentina"  speaks my language...  

[ozzy72]

My feelings towards Argentina are less than positive. They invaded the Falklands and then tried to kill my favourite cousin 25 years ago (they failed thank goodness), then they knocked England out of the next World Cup by the use of hands which isn't permitted in football...
I'm happy for Germany!

[Woodlouse2002]

So... Have Argentina been knocked out of the world cup by Germany then?

[Craig.]

yes Woody.
And surprise surprise, they start a fight after. Good sports

[Sir_Jon]

I do think that ruined a good game, such a shame some Argentine players felt they had to use their fists :-/

[Craig.]

just watching the BBC's commentary of it, apparently some argentine player walked up and kicked a german player in the nether region or something like that

[ozzy72]

It just shows what poor sportsmen they are. I hope they're banned by FIFA This sort of thing just isn't acceptable...

[Foxtrot Sport]

ESPN didn't do a good showing of the postgame activities.

I did hear the announcer say

"...and amidst all the celebration, a German player is down, and they're celebrating around him!..."

But I did see some of the Argentina players crying, especially the player that shot the last PK.  Pity.

Again my vote goes to baseball stickball rounders.

My sisters saw it live in the hospital cos my sis broke her thumb in the car door!
We're so pleased. Bye bye Argentina. I was so desperately hoping they'd lose.

A know a person that was burnt in that ship they bombed in the war... but it's politics....

Trouble is the French, Italians and the Germans have never been the Brits friends either. I feel silly supporting Brazil, so if England get kicked out I don't care who wins.

[flyboy 28]

I don't understand how politics interferes with a game of soccer/football. Agreed while the Falklands conflict/war was like any other war, un-necessary, it by no means that the players on a soccer team had anything to do with it..? I'm sure most of the players weren't even alive when it happened. 1982 was it?

[Saitek]

With the exception of the USA once an enemy always remembered as one.  :o
The British media never let go. There is national pride in winning and humiliation in losing hence that is where there is political strife.
But you are right really it has nothing to do with it.
