That's because they were trying to kill him.

Did anyone else notice that no Argentine player complaint when Schweinsteiger got treatment on the field in the last minutes of the game?
That's great respect for a player who took a severe beating but always stood up time after time.

Well because the game was 0-0 there ; argentina could select  for penalty shoots instead of playing the match.

Both teams did some stupidly hard stuff. But watching Schweini getting beaten to crap really made me angry.

You mean they didn't complain that he was lying on the ground after they put him there?
Yeah, a lot of respect.

My fav quotes from page 1-2 :

Brazil has by far the best defenders on the tournament. Marcelo is the reason why Real managed to win in the final. [...]

A bunch of injuries on the German team lately.
Personally, I'd be surprised if Germany makes it into the quarter finals.

[...]Sadly Germany will probably not play a big role in this tournament. They have problems at too many positions.

No way, the german team is much weaker than the 2010 and 2006 ones were. Many players out of form, the defense unstable and a number of injuries lately.

Brazil, Argentina or maybe Spain.

I bet argentinia will win

Good job. Close one 

France is obviously going to loose win one match then loose.

& Good job to Germany.

I felt it since the beginning, since the first match against Croatia. Brazil had nothing to do in this tournament. No style or tactic whatsoever, players run like chicken without a head... It looked like Santos couple of years ago - pass to Neymar and see what happens. Unfortunately for Brazil one player solves nothing.

I'm happy they got humilliated, I can't stand their coach Scolari, what despicable grumpy man. Hopefully he'll be dismissed and get his arse kicked out of management.

Oh and I didnt expect Argentina to make it to the finals. Certainly Netherlands or even France deserved that spot far more. Goodbye to Messi, your career ends now. It was cool watching you these last years.

Congratulations to Germany, since Spain was forced out, I vouched for them. They lost 1 final and 1 semi-final to us. Poor Löw deserved this championship. They also have a similar style to us treating the ball nicely so, cheers!

Argentina went so far by destroying the play-style of his oponent.
Germany went so far by developing their play-style.

PS : Imagine this :
Algeria was really close to win the match against Germany, and then, imagine they won against France. Brazil would have probably lost too.
Final : Argentina / Algeria

Belgium, who everyone's calling the underdogs are  deffo gunna flop.

I'd say i was spot on.

What'S the purpose of this ranking anyway? (Except for determining the group heads at tourneys)

Summing up my pov on this World Cup: I'm really surprised about what the German team did there. I was rather sceptical at the beginning and I still think that the team is far from dominating world's football in the next years as some noobs in Germany are now already caliming.

I'm disappointed of Brazil's performance. I was aware that they had lost their role as football super power some time ago but I at least expected them to show more dedication with their fans behind them (just as the German team in 2006).

I'm also disappointed of the teams from Africa and Asia. I don't know for how long "experts" now predict that Asia/Africa will become serious opponents for the established nations, but this World Cup, (as well as the other tournaments) showed that from the Quarter final on it's still mainly an EU/SA thing. Ghana'S and Algeria'S performance vs Germany still deserve much respect and any team more effective would have kicked us out of the tournament.

I have, however, the impression that the US team is getting stronger and stronger with every World Cup they participate in. I'm not sure if I am happy about this. I mean, they are already #1 in almost everything, can't they just leave football to us?

Finally, the European teams:
The Netherlands impressed me a lot in their first match vs Spain though I am not sure how much Spain's weakness contributed to this. I had not watched any of NED'S games until the semifinal afterwards but even after Germany's 7-1 over BRA the prospect of having to meet NED in the final match scared the shit out of me.

England's performance was not really a big surprise to me. To me, someone who does know shit about English football, the English team consists of Rooney, Gerrard and some other random guys who could be replaced anytime by someone else, and this is surely the problem English football is facing right now.

To me Italy and Spain both seem to have  missed the chance to develop their teams further after their respective World Cup wins (just like Germany did after '90 and France after '98). I do not know about Italy, but I am sure we will see a stronger Spain at the Euro 2016 and the World Cup 2018.

What the fuck, why is Greece even on there. They suck donkey ass.

I didn't expect us to make it out of the group stages and we didn't.

Personally, I feel one of the issues is due to the nature of the Premier League, it seems less and less young English players are getting their chance in the biggest league here because a of clubs rather just splash their cash and sign a ready made player from a foreign League, well, it's along those lines anyway. That's just my opinion of course.
