But Germany was so rampant today, not to mention the atmosphere for said game would be incredible that I'd say that it's pretty even money.<BR/><BR/>Tough loss for the Mexicans, Argentina fully deserved the win but the Mexicans played pretty damn well, much better than I had given them credit for. But such is the hazard of limping into the 2nd round as they did, you run into buzzsaws of squads like Argentina.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25555967.post-1151195644215126142006-06-24T17:34:00.000-07:002006-06-24T17:34:00.000-07:00Just wondered what you thought of the two matches....Just wondered what you thought of the two matches. I blogged on both. Germany Argentina quarter final too good to miss I think. Any predictions for England? Me too scared to tempt fate.

But other than some defensive lapses, that was just a clinic by the Germans.<BR/><BR/>While I agree that Argentina should be favored over Mexico, I was bothered by how many times Balboa was talking about Germany vs Argentina as if the game were already set and then he made a comment that if Germany were to get by Argentina then they wouldn't beat Italy. Somebody should tell him that the games need to actually be played before you declare winners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
