Germany VS Portugal fight for 3rd Place (July 8)
Finals~ France VS Italy (July 9)
Last week after the Quarter-final match with Germany and Argentina on June 30th, a brawl broke up due to Argentina's poor sportsmanship. Though no one was hurt, it created a lot of clutter on the field.

Naturally I’m very angry - we’ve just been eliminated. The fact that we played well doesn’t make it feel any better either. They attacked twice and scored a goal but Argentina were the better side. We put in a good performance but it doesn’t mean anything because we lost, and there’s nothing that has happened today that will make me feel any better about it.
Julio CRUZ (ARG) The dream is over, and it’s very hard to say that. We’ve done well overall, even though we all hoped we could get further. Although we know we lost, Germany weren’t better than us. They just had more luck in the penalties, that’s all.
Juan Pablo SORIN (ARG) My heart just feels empty because we deserved more than a draw. We did the best we could but we didn’t have any luck. Penalties are a lottery but at the same time they’re part of the game. It would be stupid to blame (Leo) Franco because we’ve got the best keepers in the world, and I’d just like to add that I’m very proud to be part of this team. We’ve got a great side and we can get our revenge in four years' time.

Acceptance seems to be a big factor, because you just can't deny the truth.
