olha,pra começar todos voces tem q calar a boca porque o BRASIL e a seleçao melhor do mundo,os melhores jogadores do mundo sao brasileiros,Ronaldinho,Kaka,robinho,ronaldo,adriano,julio baptista,diego etc.
Outra coisa e que o BRASIL tem jogadores que fazem 1000 gols Pele,Romario e tem outro brasileiro que eu nao conheço.Foram 4 jogadores que fizeram mil gols 3 sao brasileiros.
Os argentinos dizen que Maradona foi um grande jogador,sim,foi,mas quantos gols ele fez?E outra coisa,o unico pais q chega perto do brasil no futebol e a Italia,pois tem 4 titulos mundiais e o brasil tem 5,mas como o proprio Maradona disse “o BRASIL sempre esteve um degrau acima dos outros paises”.
Entao adimitam que o BRASIL e o melhor do mundo.
BRAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLL

althogh we are all sad.It seems logical.No need to blame Jose pekerman.He’s an absolutely great coach considering that anyone might make mistake if were him.I never forget that nightmare.Argentina always plays promissing but at the end ,encounters with unluckies;This is our problem.I hope alfio basile prepare a logical tactic strategy like Argentina always had.

yes he must quite, he must go away as a loser, we need a new coach, we need to see new players, we need to see new styel, i don’t like most of pekerman players, i think he also didn’t like to be the coach , i don’t see him motivied, as they brough him by force, no you should’t accepte if r not motived, anway we have to forget this wc also, it’s our habite since 1990, as it’s became the Habite of Urguay since 1950 ! ! ! ! !! hope not like them, the won the WC 2 times and then they slept, no we are sad 16 years, even we were happy by the second place in 1990 at least played the final, ! !

Macri = Boca Juniors = Pekerman = Cambiasso = Argentina goes home!

its internal politics. At least when Brazil sold themselves (France) they got the world cup (Germany) by beating Germany who sold that game (Now Germany wins).

When Argentina sells itself it does so with only internal corruption and the only ones who suffer are my fellow Argentinians.

It makes me want to cry.

Celestine,

Thanks for your comments. Maybe it will be interesting for you (and also for other people that do not know his previous achievements) to know a bit of the history of Pekerman.

He led our U20 team to the world cup 3 times: In 1995, 1997 & 2001 (we won this WC 5 times in total).

We got the fair play award of the above tournament twice, both under the coaching of Pekerman (1997 & 2001). This will probably surprise many hostile readers.

Players like Sorin, Riquelme and Saviola were “built” in these tournaments and under the coaching of Pekerman.

This is why I would keep Pekerman (now this does not change the fact that I would kill him for the line up last friday).

The full stats for the U20 WC are in this link:

If you take a look you will probably be surprised as well on the excellent performances of Ghana and Nigeria.

bianchi shld be the head coach not maradona. he can be a part of the team coz he lacks experience. its a matter of national team not a small club.

Perhaps Shamsul Maidin are not accustomed to the European / South American way of officiating to FIFA’s needs. We are Singaporeans. We are uncorrupted.

Vamos Argentina!!!
Viva Singapore!!!

Totally. I have no doubts Pekerman is someone with great accomplishments. But in this game, his mistakes would not be created by even a average coach in Singapore. If Argentina had put on their best players and defended well, and even if we had still lost it, we would have been contended and bid our time again in 2010. What a way to go out… Pekerman was right to resign, (or risk being shot.) he has enough to live on for the rest of his life. Stick to the Youth Team.

Some German Fans may gloat, and jeer at Albicelestes. Without a doubt, Albicelestes are one of the greatest and most wonderful team this WC. There is no contest, for if we were a worser team than you, we would not to go into extra time and more extra. I have no doubts our reserve goalie acts clueless (WTH? It was his time to prove himself in the WC and he blew it. Thats why he is still a reserve. Dun Argies have better Goalies to take penalties?), and if i may add, the German team is good at PKs. Germany vs Argentina provided the most entertaining, heart-racing (or should i say, heart-stopping moments?) this WC! Not even Germany vs Italy or even France could have provided such excitement. (England vs Portugal was slow & boring. Brasil vs France… erm, did the Brazilians even attack?)

That being said… However, i still feel Pekerman should be shot. What a jerk, refusing all blame to the very end. (Who hired him? ) Dun bother to check his account. He is not that stupid. (I hope) It is probably in his gf’s or mistress’s account. Hee…

English and Brasil fans, do your team have to lose so poorly for you to have some respect for others?

Be humble and the world will rejoice with you when you lift the winning cup. Be conceited and you will be alone.

How i wish countries like Germany and Argentina could play again soon. This kind of international soccer is so gripping and exciting, instead of the usual EPL, Spanish League and Italian soccer that Singapore usually aires. (Slow, tinted and predictable)

Another wish of mine is for international matches’s fourth official to be in the TV box and giving the main official as to what shows up on screen. (Why dun the we, soccer fans all over the world do an online petition?)

Shamsul Maidin who refereed’ in this WC is world number 1 referee. He was however not one of the 12 referees to officiate the quarter-final matches onwards as he was sent home along with 14 other referees despite giving one of the most consistent performances and escaping the scrutiny of the press which his fellow referees such as Valentin Ivanov and Graham Poll suffered from.

Who am I to say anything? I am juz a Girl in Singapore. (Who loves soccer!)

Vamos Argentina! (Hoping to go to B.A again. “Argentina, I miss you.”)
