Can't help but wonder about the Riquelme and Crespo subs.
Why take out Riquelme? Why put in Cruz?
Why not keep Riquelme? Or put in Cambiasso and Messi/Saviola?
I was telling a friend while watching the match. That Pekerman would wait till the 80th-85th to use the last sub (being Messi/Saviola if Germany had scored or defensive if not). But no, after losing Abbondanzieri in the 71st. He subs out his star midfielder in the 72nd. And is scored on a minute after making his last sub in the 79th.
I could go on forever! Argentina may have been the better side.. but Germany had all the luck..and a little more.
