Why would anyone want Argentina to win?

Well, because having them both to lose is not a practical option....and we hate the Germans more.

Too much information.

I want the Germans to win.

There's no one on the German side who I have any issue with. The Argies though have Tevez and the world's most hyped player. While I don't have any issue with Maradona as a player, as a coach he's a joke and Argentina shouldn't get away with that joke unpunished.

Germany have been by far the better side this match. At one time the Argies had 52% possession, but the Germans have been many times superior to Argentina and should have been 2-0 up if Klose had just been composed.

I'm not particularly bothered about the Europe v South American angle, but I guess that might come into it as I also wanted the Dutch to beat Brazil.
