I don't know how accurate this is though.

You're a bunch of sore losers.

Oh, yeah? Well, you're just nervous about having to play us.

Germany and Argentina are heating up the World Cup with a little bit of trash talking ahead of their quarterfinal match Saturday in Cape Town.
Germany captain Philipp Lahm added to the head games Thursday by essentially calling the Argentines hot heads.

"We have to concentrate on our own game. They are temperamental, we'll see how they deal with defeat on Saturday," Lahm said. "They are impulsive, temperamental and they don't know how to lose."

Lahm's comments upped the ante after midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger said Wednesday that Argentina showed no respect for opponents and referees. Team manager Oliver Bierhoff then chimed in by saying the Argentines were "aggressive" and "provocative" on the field.

In nearby Pretoria, Argentina coach Diego Maradona said nerves must be getting to Schweinsteiger.
Laughing during an interview Wednesday night with Fox Sports Argentina, Maradona mockingly asked Schweinsteiger whether he was "nervous" and said his players were looking forward to "revenge," referring to the teams' history.

Germany eliminated Argentina on penalty kicks four years ago, also in the quarterfinals, and there were chaotic scenes after the shootout. The two sides exchanged punches and kicks in a fracas that included team officials from both benches.

Going back further, Germany beat Argentina 1-0 in the 1990 World Cup final -- avenging Argentina's 3-2 victory in the '86 title game. Back then, Maradona was leading the Albiceleste as a player.

On Thursday, Lahm dismissed Maradona's suggestion the Germans were nervous.
"We are tense but not nervous," Lahm said. "We are looking forward to the game."

Bierhoff said he had played with many Argentines and found them "friendly, warmhearted people."
"But on the pitch they are different. They become aggressive and provocative. We should keep a cool head and concentrate on our own game," the former Germany striker said.

Referring to the post-match fight in 2006, Bierhoff said, "emotions run high after a game but we should put it behind us."

Asked if the team's staff had talked to Schweinsteiger about his comments that started the verbal exchange, Bierhoff said he saw no need for that. "I don't think there were so inflammatory," Bierhoff said. "It was not his intention to start a fire. He is a fair sportsman."
Schweinsteiger said that the fight after 2006 quarterfinal still weighed heavily on his teammates' minds.

"When you look at their body language and gesticulations, they way they try to influence the referees, they have no respect," Schweinsteiger said. "It's their mentality and character and we'll have to adjust."

There is usually a war when these two play. Argies have a temper anywhay that they are happy lose and the Germans know how to provoke it for their own benefit.

I'll be supporting Argentina in this. I want Argentina to win the WC for Maradona. I realise I am alone in this, in England anyway :)

It was comforting that Germany won their match over Argentina. I do agree that Argentina shows no respect for anyone. In fact, this year’s world cup, Germany had clearly shown what they can do. They had beaten Argentina 4-0 and this time it was a total defeat. Not losing in the penalties or whatsoever. I am well impressed by how the Germans played. They showed the world what high quality match is. And their teamwork is just simply amazing.

^^^Argentina against Germany showed you exactly whay Maradona can not coach. When they went 1-0 down the TV cameras showed a quick glimpse of him where he turned to his assistant and shrugged his shoulders as if to say: "what do I do now"!

He maybe a good motivator as everyone respects him, but tactically he is too inept.

The Argentinians actually want to keep him, its Mara not knowing if he'll stay or not, they actually offered to extend his contract before the germany game and he said he wasnt too sure, wich if he did want to stay might hav turned out for the worse.

Actually I enjoyed Mara's frantics, they kept the world cup exciting, there is footage of him smoking a cigarette while training with the player, asking the ball and all that :D Really was fun to watch.

Maradona is great, I love him. People criticise him for some of his actions, but he is what he is. Some say it's because he is illiterate. Whatever. Let he who is perfect cast the first stone.

I loved the scene at the end of the Germany game where he was hugging his daughter and stroking her face. He is a very emotional man, loves his family. He is no angel, yes he has cheated on his wife but at the same time he is very emotional and he shows it. I have no problems with him.

With all due respect, I do have some big problems with him.
My main problem is he has cheated and he is proud of it. A real sportsman doesn't cheat. I do appreciate his talent and his ability to make things happen on the field, but considering his lack of sportsmanship and respect for others his talent loses its value for me.

Pedram I understand that argument. But he is the product of his upbringing. I am not going to totally exonerate him for scoring with his hand but I would put it to you that most other players in that situation would so the same. If I could score with my hand for Iran to qualify for the WC would I do it? Hell yes. I wouldn't feel slightly bad about it if it were against one of the Arab countries. Maradona is very patriotic and went into that England game when the Falklands war was very much on their minds. He wanted to hurt the English and he did.

But anyway, as cheating footballers go, really Maradona is not so bad. I never remember seeing him dive. He didn't have to. On the countrary, he was tackled hard, beating up and bruised and yet every time he got up, dusted himself down and looked for the ball, he just got on with it.
