FC Barcelona 1899: Germany vs Argentina

Did anyone of you watched the game?

The result ...

Half-time;
Germany 0-1 Argentina
Full Time;
Germany 1-3 Argentina

On the 31' a penalty was given to Argentina; Messi was the penalty shooter of course but Ter Stegen (came in for Zieler who got a red card on the 30') managed to grabbed hold of the ball. Well, Germany thought that was lucky & maybe they could grab hold of the next 60', not so fast boys! LOL the first goal on the 45'+1' was an own goal, by Khedira. How? From a normal corner kick by Di Maria and somewhat, Khedira kicked the ball into the net. As I said, not so fast. :)

Next, on the 50' there was an offside goal from Germany. An offside goal. So, y'know, ~~no goal~~; not counted.

Then, 2nd goal, was from our captain, Messi on the 2nd half; 52', assisted by G. Higuain. Afar past from Di Maria to Higuain that gave a short pass to Messi. This time, Messi proved that he can kicked as strong as a wind and he did! His kick was so strong that Ter Stegen can't even grabbed the ball and the ball went into the net so darn hard! :) you can see the impact on the net.

There was almost another goal on the 64' by Messi. The ball was a few inches away from the goal. But it's alright, cause it didn't just ended there.

The 3rd and last goal for Argentina was on the 73' from Di Maria, things were slow at first but not until when Aguero kicked the ball towards apparently to nobody as he wants to break out from all the German players that were all running towards him. But Di Maria managed to stormed towards the ball and he kicked the ball from afar so strongly and hardly. And yes! The ball went into the net! :) Ter Stegen got no chance on touching the ball; not even a teeny bit.

Argentinian's superstars; Messi, Aguero, Higuain and Di Maria were all hugging & all smiles & the audiences were all celebrating by then. It was 3-nil; I guess you could say its payback time. :)

And yes, Germany stood a chance to score one goal. By B. Howedes; assisted by M. Gotze on the 81'. Gotze managed to stop the ball from getting out of the field line and kicked the ball towards Howedes who was in the middle of the field; or should I say, middle of the penalty box and headed the ball into the net.

Not just that, on the 89' right before the whistle is blown, something interesting happened; a big fan came down onto the field (I don't know how. LOL), cheering & running around. He ran passed Messi and Messi shook hands with him! The fan was so happy! LOL and yes, tell me, how can we not love Messi? This is what I call, sportsmanship!

The final whistle was then blown on the 90'; celebrations were arising among the Argentinian's audiences. Argentina flags were up!! Hands clapping and smiley faces across the Argentinian fans. :) Germany though weren't really that happy. Well, anyways, it was great game!

You guys can check out the video below and see how wonderful all the goals were! :) and how Messi shook hands with that huge fan!

*p.s.: Maradona was at the match watching from the seats! :) ahhh, happy to see Maradona. Misses the old days where he coached Argentina!
