Great 90 minutes of football. Plenty to talk about, maybe too much.

I think 0-0 is just about fair, though had Higuain scored his one on one in the first half who knows where we would be now. Maybe 1-1 :dunno

:clap Too true it seems him being substituted there was rather overlooked by my ESPN commentators.

Horrible defending but Palacio bottled it.

Been an exciting game, but for the wrong reasons.

Please no penalties not in a final. I'd sooner see Germany win in extra time than Argentina win in a penalty shootout. :panic

I agree...in the KO stages, we've already had two 1-1 draws decided by penalties, and two goalless draws decided by pens. Has any other World Cup had so many?

What did Aguero do to Shweinstiegger there?

Not sure Bastian should be allowed to continue even with stitches. It looked pretty nasty.
