He was down all he time

 

Cause they were beating him up!

[Mt. Crushmore]

Definitely a great tournament.  Glad I was able to watch as much of it as possible.

[T3hRaven]

I would've given it to Tim Howard.

[arnie_uk]

Schweinsteiger was immense that game

[arnie_uk]

Messi was not player of the tourny. Id give a shout out to muller, Rodriguez, mascherano to name a few

[Kaiowas]

great game of Argentina, bad luck 
in first half: Neuer red card and a penalty , but......

Germany it´s a just champ, was the best team in tournament

what are u talking about

[Kaiowas]

ok my mistake 2 half, is penalty and red card to neuer

 

[arnie_uk]

Thats not a penalty he out jumped him and punched the ball. It shouldn't have been a free kick to Germany either though

[Kaiowas]

c´mon men, excessive force, dangerous for the player, in large area, this play is penalty any time, any place

You find me a penalty ever given against a keeper for punching the ball and cleaning the player. Ever

[T3hRaven]

Seriously? You're going to complain about that when Argentina was mugging Schweinsteiger and Müller the entire game?

[Kaiowas]

sorry, but don´t understand they say.

 

result is fair, not talking about theft or anything

 

 

Argentine lost by mistakes in definición ( Higuaín, Messi, Palacio ), but that play is penalty and red card, any time, any place, any team

The keeper always has the right to the ball. The only time they ever get carded is if it's clear that they got beat and they stick their leg out and trip the player to prevent the goal. This is a standard play in soccer/football.

[Radinho84]

what are u talking about

I don´t get it neither.

red card???

 

I might be biased as I am from Germany but the best team won the Worldcup. Well deserved!!!

Argentina lost because Germany was the better Team. They were fighting for each other from day 1.

BTW this is not a red card. It was inside the zone called Strafraum in Germany. The keeper is allowed to play the ball however he likes to. If he is the first guy playing the ball he is save. Hate to say it but you are just wrong about that...

[Radinho84]

exactly. Argentine should have never had 11 players on the field at the end of the game..

[Radinho84]

Messi was already the player of the tournament before it even started.

FIFA is just what it is. MAFIA

I don't know if there was any 1 player who stood out to me in the tournament, there were a lot of really good players but no one person stood out to me.

[rmw10]

James Rodriguez for me.  I think he was the best player overall in the tournament.

[52520Andrew]

Yeah he was probably my top guy but there were a lot of good guys too.

Like rmw, it was James Rodriguez for me.

Law 12 - fouls and misconduct

 

Direct free kick

 

A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following seven offences in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:

 

• kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
  
• trips or attempts to trip an opponent
  
• jumps at an opponent
  
• charges an opponent
  
• strikes or attempts to strike an opponent
  
• pushes an opponent
  
• tackles an opponent
  

 

A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following three offences:

 

• holds an opponent
  
• spits at an opponent
  
• handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area)
  

 

A direct free kick is taken from the place where the offence occurred (see Law 13 - Position of free kick).

 

Red Card in Argentine Only Aguero, but first Howedes en 1 half and Neuer in 2 half.

Arnie, plays no equals..., maybe in little area i accept, but thats not case.

maybe lost too, but  penalty y red card is a big chance.

 

James, Robben was a great player too, Lahm

I miss the World Cup already 

[T3hRaven]

I miss the World Cup already

After watching that terribly sloppy MLS game last night, I agree.

I don't watch MLS for that exact reason.

[52520Andrew]

I don't watch MLS for that exact reason.

Same

[T3hRaven]

Luckily the other leagues aren't like that. I'm going to try and follow it better next season.

[rmw10]

I'd never even entertain watching an MLS game on TV.  I went to a DC United game once because I got free tickets.  I'd never do it again.
