Its one thing to be sad about a loss, but being a poor loser is something else.
What is so great on an Argentina/Brasil final? They play each other in the Quali twice, then the Copa America a couple times (or whatever its called).
The reason why they play the World Cup is because they like to find out who the best team is.
Do you actually know Germany's accomplishments?
QF: 62, 94, 98
Semi: 58, 70 (3rd Place)
Final: 54 (Champs), 66, 74 (Champs), 82, 86, 90 (Champs), 2002
Since 1954 Germany made it in every Worldcup but one (1978) to at least the QFs. Do you really think Germany relies on ONE blown call or has to have games fixed?
To extend that a little:
since 1954 a total of 13 WCs (not including 2006) have been played.
Germany appeared in 7 finals, 2 Semi-Finals and 3 QFs.
Argentina appeared in 3 finals, 0 Semi-Finals and 2 QFs.
Italy appeared in 3 finals, 2 Semi-Finals and 1 QF.
Brazil appeared in 6 finals, 2 Semi-Finals and 2 QFs.
