It's been tighter than a duck's whatnot so far. I think a mistake might make the difference.

^Yeah.
It’s frustrating to see the Dutch players winning the ball in a good position only to slow things down.

Correct! Another testy display of ball possession slowed down to a crawl. I don't get it! They are playing backwards 
Argentina vs Deutschland !  I like neither team but in this instance, I frankly, I hope the Germans destroy the 'Tines.

Weird WC, a sublime first round ,  followed by tedium except for the Brasil meltdown.

I think overall today was a better game than yesterday's horrible vibes and feelings...
We should hope for a good match over who wins!

Well a 40 year-old mannschaft will tend to settle.

All too true. Even with no one from the original line-up still playing - a football team has little in common with a prog band.

Argentina is just Messi, right? WRONG!
I've read that it was a poor game from Argentina...
Which game have you watched, guys?
It was a like a chess game. There was a lot of study from both teams. But in the end, Romero hadn't almost touched the ball before the penalties. The most dangerous play by the Netherlands was one shot from Robben that was blocked by Mascherano, while Argentina had Messi's free kick, Garay and Palacio's headers and Maxi Rodriguez shot.
Huge sacrifice by a team led by MASCHERANO. High performances by Enzo Perez, Demichelis, Garay, and, of course, Romero. Argentina didn't let the Netherlands have any chance.

Yes, except neither Bobby Fischer or Boris Spassky ever feigned injury or provided a valet parking service for buses.

That's because you have the perfect final German offence vs Argentina defense. Kind of ironic in view of pundits saying that Argentina is all about an attacking Messi. Thing is German defense is pretty good .
