Why So Many World Cup Fans Dislike Argentina?

[notebook.fix]

As much as I wanted Argentina to win, I really wasn't expecting it, and now I'm glad we didn't - and I say that as a patriotic Argentine...cause I want this country to focus on the big economic f***K up we're in and all the corruption that the K government is so busy trying to cover over..winning the world cup would only have served the group of criminals in the pink house.

Argentina had more chances to win, but no luck...
Argentina exceeded the expectations, but it was not enough; I believe the referee was neutral, may be his decisions were in favor of Germany with no intention.
Germany played a good match too, and it was not unfair considering Argentina did not play well the first games.

Congratulations Germany!

Besides he didn t give the penalty to Argentina...

This one didn't give penalty either (and it should have of course + red card)

Penalty or not is disputed in medias of other countries for today (the guy speaking on the public channel was excessive "se hace el distraido", etc. Not really responsible).

Definition of football = game played 11 vs 11 and at the end, Germany wins.

The rules are pretty clear and state that the goal keeper can challenge in the air within his box. The dispute in the Schumacher case was because its questionable that he actually went only for the ball. In Neuers case, this is completely different (he hit it before the collision) so asking for a penalty just shows that one doesn't have a clue about soccer.

not a penalty

 

[French jurist]

Neuer doesn't put much force in his knee before the impact, clearly does not want to hit him in the face and didn't with his knee (while clearly playing the ball).

Strong action but no penalty.

not a penalty

The key words here are "in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless, or using excessive force" and then "jumps at an opponent" and "charges an opponent".

If all of those offenses were actually called this game would be called "Kick ball" because there would be nothing but free kicks.
