I just watched today my recording of the Argentina/Germany match.
Argentine defense suffered from the same ailments I'd spotted in the match with Nigeria. Lack of speed. Perfect fodder for the blitz attacks by Germany.
What fascinated me with the Germans was the way they defended as a whole and clamped down on ANY opposing possession. Even Klose ran back to tackle. I just wish he'd stop doing it from behind though. It gives a bad image to the rest of such a deserving team.
I'll have to repeat again that the newer blood in the team is outstanding!
They deserve this Cup... Again.
