I missed most of it this year, seemed like I was working for every game I was interested in.

How was today's game? Competitive?
 
2002 was the best for me, since I got to watch the games in person.

Also, my country's team overachieved which was awesome.
 
Don't mind Messi getting Golden Ball because he was the only source of offense the team had. Aguero and Higuian were god awful. So was Rat Tail.

Messi was pretty much involved with every goal ARG scored this tournament
 
yeah he really was the only good thing on that team

sucks that di maria didnt go in the final because i think it couldve ended differently

Blows my mind that the English are still so butt hurt over '86 that the following is almost uniformly true:

1. They completely ignore the greatest goal scored in soccer, that came after the 'hand of god', while at the same time ignoring the ineptitude of the their team in 1986.

2. That they would cheer for Germany over the Argentina. I understand that the Falklands were more recent but we are talking about the FUCKING GERMANS. U-boats, bombing of London, millions dead on European soil ... any of that ring a bell????


Seriously.

Assume he is more irked by the fact that Maradona pwned just about every english player on the field (one of them TWICE --- looking at you Terry Butcher), en route to scoring the greatest goal in soccer history.
 
One thing I learned this World Cup - something that I've never come to understand about football - is how big names at the club level are often omitted from the final roster of national teams. Tevez, Kaka, Pato, Nasri, Lucas, Defoe, and a bunch of others that I don't know, are somehow overlooked by managers. Looking back, Scolari fielded an awfully weak team.
 
^^ I would make an exception for what is considered the greatest example of cheating in the history of international sports.

Germany and the UK are cool and have been for decades. It's the Argentines who are stilll butthurt over the Falklands. The first or second Argentina game this WC I saw a banner in the stands with 'Malvinas' written on it.

LOL on you for thinking Brits are still genuinely pissed off over WWII. You chide the Brits over their butthurtedness over 1986, and then start talking about German U-boats and blitzkrieg. Nice consistency.

What makes you think these players deserve to be on their national teams?

Cause guys like Hulk and Fred make the cut? I'm still a bit of a noob to the sport so perhaps you can explain why big-name league players are often left out of their national teams.
