this world cup will be remembered as the one where the argies blew it. big time. They played impressively and consistently until that debacle at germany

[@Und1234]

Romero was to blame more than anyone else for his blunder against Muller's header, which basically forced Argentina to go all-attack in the second half and left them exposed on the counter. If Argentina had a half competent goalkeeper, they would have won the damn thing.

[@ThomasMuller-tv8ku]

@@Und1234 4 years later Romero saved Argentina innumerable times in the final against the same opponent, still Argentina couldn't find a victory!

[@majd6446]

It blows my mind how Zanetti , Diego Milito and Cambiasso were not called for the Wc with inter winning the champions league , also without Riquelme idk why , greatest playmaker

[@petert.c6254]

@@Und1234 the other bad thing for us in that match was that we used Otamendi as a right back when he was and is a central defender, if we had Zanetti things wouldve been probably different

[@albertoaguilar9773]

Argentina played really well offensively, however their defense was weak. Their rivals got so many chances, which they mostly missed. Except for Germany that had sharp shooters.

[@ETLfilms]

Argentina against Nigeria is just a part of history

look at that run by messi people say xavi and iniesta help messi i think not this guy can penitrate the midfield and even get passed the defence to pass or lay a pass to forwards this guy is the most marked man in world football
