My, oh my!
Lehmann the mann!!
Of course, i'm overly estactic for the Germany win.
However, i'm equally disheartened by the Argentina's loss. They are my second most favourite team. If only Germany were to play against England yesterday and Argentina against Portugal. At least there's a puny bit of hope left to watch my 2nd best play in the semis.
I have a brimful of burning questions though. Targeted to Argies coach.
What was your main motive to replace Hernan Crespo, your best striker?
What was your main motive to replace Riquelme, your best playmaker whom touted to deem fit of replacing Maradona?
What was your main motive of not letting Messi, undoubtedly your best midfielder play? Not even for 1 freaking min?
What were you thinking, Mr Jose Pekerman????
Seriously, even as i'm not a No.1 Argentinian fan, i can feel the bitterness and disappointment by fellow Argentinian fans. Your mistakes were too obvious, Mr Pekerman.
However, without a doubt, the players gave a good fight. Being the ever diplomatic me, i'd like to add that they have played better than the Germans. But they don't have the luck in the penalty shoot out. Lehmann has sealed their fate.
Bye Argentina. Bye Messi.
You have done your best. That was good enough.
