xx ARGENTINA : Are they the best team in the world? xx

[ปุย]

Please read their players' quotes after the match against Germany ;

Juan Pablo SORIN (ARG)
My heart just feels empty because we deserved more than a draw. We did the best we could but we didnt have any luck. Penalties are a lottery but at the same time theyre part of the game. It would be stupid to blame (Leo) Franco because weve got the best keepers in the world, and Id just like to add that Im very proud to be part of this team. Weve got a great side and we can get our revenge in four years' time.

Hernan CRESPO (ARG)
We played really well and it hurts so much to lose. The boys are really down because weve got an exceptional team, we gave it everything we had out there and we deserved so much more. Germany weren't better than us and the game was decided by the smallest of details. For me, weve had a disappointing tournament because weve been knocked out. That said, Im very proud to be part of this group. Im not really bothered who wins it now to be honest. I support Argentina and thats it.

Carlos TEVEZ (ARG)
Naturally Im very angry - weve just been eliminated. The fact that we played well doesnt make it feel any better either. They attacked twice and scored a goal but Argentina were the better side. We put in a good performance but it doesnt mean anything because we lost, and theres nothing that has happened today that will make me feel any better about it.

Gabriel HEINZE (ARG)
It hurts a lot to lose like that. We didnt deserve it but we gave it all we had. I really dont know why we lost. And dont ask me if I think Germany will win the World Cup or not because the truth is I really couldnt care less.

Javier MASCHERANO (ARG)
We tried to play and represent the country as well as we could. Ive got nothing to say because if you watch the game youll see that we were the better team. We showed were up there with the best teams in the world, and in my opinion theres no such a thing as justice in football.

Roberto AYALA (ARG)  
Weve had a great World Cup and we were a great side, one that improved with every game, but now weve got nothing to show for it. We shouldnt be hard on ourselves, though, and we can look ourselves in the mirror and go home proud of what weve done. I think the last ten minutes were vital to us not winning the game. Thats when we lost a little control and let Germany get an equaliser.

Leonardo FRANCO (ARG)
For me, I thought we played well. Losing is all part of the game but you always need some luck and we didnt get any. They kept their heads better than we did in the penalties. We missed out and theres nothing we can do about it now. All the same, we have to keep things in proportion because they werent better than us.

Julio CRUZ (ARG)
The dream is over, and its very hard to say that. Weve done well overall, even though we all hoped we could get further. Although we know we lost, Germany werent better than us. They just had more luck in the penalties, thats all.

Esteban CAMBIASSO (ARG)
Were still standing tall. We outclassed them and we can go home with our heads held high.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

After I read their quotes, I feel they have no sport spirit. They still think they are the best team of the world ?!?

I have no respect for players for this team anymore. I'm really glad that they are eliminated.  :evil:  :twisted:

Compare with Germany's attitude.

Michael BALLACK (GER), Budweiser Man of the Match
I had to play on even though I had cramp, as we'd already brought on our three substitutes. It might not have been the prettiest match to watch, and we weren't at our best in front of goal, but tactically neither team made many mistakes. Penalties always comes down to luck. We made a conscious effort throughout not to let Argentina into the match, and at the end of the day, we were the ones who had the better chances.

We overcame a really big obstacle today. Argentina were hot favourites to go all the way. Now we've got our semi-final and we will be back in Dortmund, where the fans will give us some extra support again. We hope that we will be able to realise our dream, but it will by no means be easy.

Jens LEHMANN (GER)
Our guys hit some fantastic penalties. I'll say no more, though, since we have another challenge ahead of us already. I want to start preparing for our next opponent.

Miroslav KLOSE (GER)
I think that it was a fascinating match. I'm still breathless I can hardly speak. It was an incredible game, and we were maybe a little lucky to win. We saw how the Argentinians came forward on the break whenever we sat back. In the second half, things were a lot better for us. It was tough for us forwards today, as the muggy conditions held us back a bit. I had an accidental collision with the goalkeeper and got cramp in my calves, which is why I had to come off.

David ODONKOR (GER)
I'm very happy that we won the match, and the fans we have are really great. We can't celebrate for too long, though we need to prepare for the next match. It was a tense game, and a tough one as well. I think that I showed today just how much I love my football. The coach told me to go out and have some fun.

Oliver NEUVILLE (GER)
That was the toughest match to date for us in this tournament. In the end, we just had a bit more luck than they did, as thats all that it comes down to with penalties. We showed some typically German qualities today and got back into the game after we fell behind. Argentina took the chance they had, we took ours and we ended up winning.

Philipp LAHM (GER)
We knew that we could turn the tide if we went behind. We're in the semis now, which probably no-one was expecting. Jens Lehmann is the kind of goalkeeper who exudes self-belief, and we all had every confidence in him too. The little gesture between Oli Kahn and Jens shows just how far this team has progressed.

Bastian SCHWEINSTEIGER (GER)
It was party-time in the changing room we were dancing around, there was music playing, it was real fun. It was so good, the way the lads just stepped up and calmly slotted the penalties in. They put them away really well. We knew that the fewer mistakes we made, the easier it would be. We waited for some space to open up on the pitch and managed to win most of the ball at the back. We respect all of the teams left in the competition, but we aren't afraid of any of them. We owe Italy one as well. Today was a typical draw. We were surprised at the way Argentina lined up, and that showed that they had a lot of respect for us.

Torsten FRINGS (GER)
The game was a war of attrition. We had to give it our all today, and turned the match in our favour at the end.

Lukas PODOLSKI (GER)
The Argentinians played very well in defence but didn't create many chances up front. We want to win the World Cup now, whatever it takes.

อาร์เจน เล่นดีมากๆ ดูเหลื่อมเยอรมันหน่อยๆด้วยซ้ำไป  แต่ทีมที่ดีที่สุดอาจไม่ได้เป็นทีมที่ชนะเสมอไป  
  นักเตะที่เด่นที่สุดของอาร์เจน  ในวันนั้น  ผมให้ คาร์ลอส เตเวซ
สำหรับเยอรมันผมให้ โคลเซ่ ( นับแต่ในเกม )

[CK]

โคลเซ่ควรได้ man of the match ครับ

โยนเข่าเข้าชายโครงโกลอาร์เจนด้วย

น่าจะมีส่วนที่ทำให้อาร์เจนแพ้
