[Hector]

Maradona >>>>>>>>> Messi

As my husband just yelled: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOL ALEMANIA!"

No he doesn't speak Spanish. That's the only thing he knows how to say. That and "En mis pantalones."

[Hector]

Europe finally wins in the Americas.

[Hector]

Germany scores...it's over...

[LadyZod]

I married a German (his parents came over) and I'm Uruguayan (my parents are at least) so I'm rooting for the fatherland.

[Hector]

Pretty even match so far...back and forth...both teams missing great opportunities.

[Hector]

Argentina used to be the world’s top per capita consumer of beef...but has been overtaken by its neighbor, Uruguay...

Never had any Argentine steak... but I'm very familiar with German beer.

Here's the entire episode:

Depends how far back in history we are going here...Germany's Nazi Party, or Argentina's Junta.

Thank God both are a thing of the past.

Sure, I was just being a little flippant... I guess I was referring more to the lesser of two soccer "evils", rather than to past wars or events of socio-political history.

Germany to win... the lesser of two evils.

Germany makes awesome beers, Argentines make awesome steaks.

I'll take a medium rare Argentine porterhouse, and wash it down with a German Pilsener...it's a draw, lol.

[Nostalgiabuff]

Messi did not do a whole hell of a lot against Holland. let's see if he can pick it up against Germany. I predict a win for Germany

Can't forget the '86 Hand of "God".

[Hector]

Germany is scoring a lot, they are well rested, and the crowd will be on their side (Brazilians hate Argentines).

Argentina, while having a great defense, has trouble scoring, one day less rest plus extra time and penalties...and aside from their fellow Argentine fans, everybody else in the stadium will be against them.

Yet I'm still picking Argentina to win...because of MESSI...this is his time to shine, his time to stand besides Maradona...his time for immortality.

Argentina 2, Germany 1
