ERASMIA, South Africa -- Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger accuses World Cup quarterfinals rival Argentina of showing no respect for opponents and referees, and urges his teammates not to be provoked.Germany eliminated Argentina on penalty kicks four years ago at the same stage and there were chaotic scenes after the shootout, with both sides exchanging punches and kicks in a fracas that included team officials from both benches. "The shootout is still in our memory, but what really weighs heavily on our minds is what happened after that match," Schweinsteiger said Wednesday. "We have to remain calm and not get provoked and I hope the referee will be very alert. "You could see their behavior at halftime of the game against Mexico. When you look at their body language and gesticulations, the way they try to influence the referees, they have no respect. It's their mentality and character and we'll have to adjust."This is exactly what we wanted. A classic bilingual blood fest. You just have to look at the world history within these two countries to know they're ruthless. Germany was Germany but Argentina is the birthplace of Che and that dude was a ruthless motherfucker. I mean I don't know. If I were picking a soccer team would I choose the guerilla warfare expert who had sex in the jungle or some nazi who sat behind his desk and called the shots like a little bitch? That's really the only reason I'm picking Argentina. Not because they look unstoppable but because they have that south american blood and I know from experience that once the blood starts boiling in a south american, watch out. Laser show. But really, Germany doesn't impress me. Argentina impresses me even without Messi scoring. Just sucks that they're all gonna end up losing to Brazil at some point. Oh, wait that doesn't suck at all.
