Germany 1.
If the Argentinians won they would get even more arrogant.

The young Argentinian women in the stands are winners! :inlove:

I agree. It looked like a shot Mario had practiced a million times. Super awesome.  :thumb:

Hard to say who is the big loser this Cup, Brazil or Argentina!
The game with Germany was 11September for Brazilians:

+1

I and my friends were rooting for Argentina, but all agreed that this was one of the better goals of the tournament.
Argentina had atleast 2 clear chances that they blew. Can't really blame anyone if simple easy ones are not converted against a team like Germany.

Germany was awesome, but I admit rooting for Argentina. Great championship game by two talented teams.

Brazil was a disgrace and I don't blame their fans for being angry.

Also, the Latin women are smoking hot. Colombian, Brazilian, Argentinian, Costa Rican, etc., how can anyone pick a favorite?  Maybe soccer isn't so bad after all!

Hot, yes, but I vote for Brazilian all the way.

Argentina had an amazing defense but was pathetic around the goal (and not just in the final match) and eventually you have to score.

World Cup fever is finally subsiding in our house as I await the opening game of my Redskins. I just finished two, imo, fantastic books on soccer: Nick Hornby's tremendously enjoyable Fever Pitch (1993) and David Winner's Brilliant Orange The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Soccer, a very readable analysis of Dutch football as well as a commentary on Dutch culture and Dutch obsessions. As a fan of Dutch soccer, I found this fascinating.

Hup, Orange, Hup!

As a fellow Redskins fan, you have my sincerest condolences.  :lol:

The most frustrating uneven club in NFL recent history.

Whoops - I guess this topic is about the other football....

Thanks for the two titles...I haven't read a good football (soccer) book since "The Game of Their Lives" came out (the 1950 US team's world cup story)...

Best,
John

Read this:
http://www.livrariasaraiva.com.br/produto/347696/estrela-solitaria/

http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrela_Solit%C3%A1ria_-_Um_Brasileiro_Chamado_Garrincha
It is a biographical book and tells the story of football player Manuel Francisco dos Santos, the famous Garrincha, from his birth to his tragic death due to alcoholism. To describe this trajectory, Ruy Castro, author of Chega de Saudade and The Pornographic Angel, has more than 500 interviews with 170 people. Garrincha reborn in Lone Star as a human tragic hero.

Five days after its release, the book was banned by the Brazilian courts after heirs of the former player asked for compensation for alleged damage to the image of father. The prohibition of "Lone Star" lasted nearly an década.
The embargo ended after decision of the Superior Court, which ordered the publisher to pay compensation of 100 minimum salaries for each heir to Garrincha in damages, with interest at 6% per annum from the date of release of the book.

The book gave the film Garrincha - Lone Star (2003), produced by Jorge Moreno, directed by Milton Alencar and André Gonçalves and Tais Araujo.
