im reaaaally happy that germany won that quarterfinal...but i was just wondering why pekerman didn't bring on messi in the second half (instead of cruz i mean)...and why did they stop attacking and remove riquelme and crespo...
any opinions....(i cant see the reasoning behind those switches so...)

about messi i trhink that he didn't want him to get injured because the german players played soo bad against argentinian player and the refree was watching them without a reaction
about riquelme i dont know the reason until now
crespo was tired a little and he was struggling in the field

crespo was tired. i dont know about messi i think he should play. dey stopped atacking and started defending because when any team scores to Germany, Germany starts attacking more and more. so they played defence

May b he was thinking of defending his 1 goal advantage.
Or else he was jst trying out Cruz thinking that he had alredy won the match.

He opted for defence. He was that sure that his team was gonna win the shootout. WRONG! Lehmann has received the power from Oliver Kahn.
