Words cannot describe...



As an Argentinian, I think, well that's what you get for supporting Switzerland so passionately.

And also for the first 7 minutes against Belgium, you were quite happy to start the 'Ole's' when they strung together 3 passes.

Where was all that support and passion tonight?.. Mmm. More on that later.

However, as a football fan... What on earth!

We can analyse the tactics, which Germany had spot on. They made the most of the Brazilians ill discipline in defense to track runners, in particular to the edge of the box. 

But the real damage, was that it tore apart any little bit of self belief they still had after the Neymar and Thiago loss.

Beyond the 2nd or the 3rd goal, there was just no belief. With no belief, there is no tracking, tracking back, no fight, just complete ill discipline like a training match where the score doesn't matter.

And to think I said the Germans were not looking ruthless earlier on. Wow. No heart, they just slay without any remorse. 

It was cruel.

What I think is disappointing is some of the fans response. The boo's are unwarranted. There will always be a few, but I just feel for the scapegoats like Fred. Or any of the players.

They don't go out to lose 7-1. They provided the nation with joy up to here, and the people were with them up to here.

So they shouldn't desert them at this point.

It is hard though. I've been there.

Cape Town, 2010. Argentina 0, Germany 4.

You just feel hurt. It takes time to heel.

You have to somehow stick together with your team. Support them through it.

Because fútbol is beautiful, it comes around again.

Some day in the future, unknowing to us all, you have that chance again.

My Argentina, is a step away from that day.

VAMOS CARAJO!!!
