wow, 3-0... i saw almost all of the 2nd half and argentina was dominating brazil, they didn't have anything to fight with. i don't know what the big deal was with rafinha and diego, they did nothing during the whole tournament.

on the other hand argentina is a very solid team, they look flawless in all of their lines and their midfield is absolutely amazing going on offense and on defense.

Just got done watching the game. First of all, horribly officiated game. Argentina with a hand ball goal. If Brazil's goal was offsides, then so was Argentina's second goal.

Secondly, I have to find a new favorite player. I have always loved watching Ronaldinho, but the guy is fat, no hustling player. Just wasn't involved whatsoever in this game or any other. Maybe he can regain his form, but I'm not holding my breadth.

Thirdly, Dunga is one awful coach. Brazil's knocks it amongst it's defenders more than in the midfield or the attacking 3rd. Get him off your team before the World Cup. Things keep going the way they are, even the WC Finals may be a reach.

Argentina plays the most beautiful out of anyone...that guy Monzon is really garbage but the rest was good...Di Maria keeps impressing me and Gago shut down Ronaldinho.

well, it wasn't a terrible oficiated game. the 1st goal was extemely tough to call a hand. and the 2nd goal wasn't offside and pato was in a clear offside.
