WORLD CUP MATCHES: GREECE VS ARGENTINA

Argentina won this match 2 - 0. While I am a bit sad that Greece is going home because I liked them, I know that they have a few problems and didn't deserve to go through. While their players have some good skills, particularly in defense and goalkeeping, and their No. 10 (Karagounis) is an incredible passer of the ball (long passes and crosses especially), Greece lacks ability on the short passes and forward play. I think they were missing a few key players, though, because of injury.
I think I downloaded about 150 pictures from this match. Obviously I can't post them all, so I'll just choose what I think are the best ones. But I am going to break this picspam into two. First, a Greece-centric one and then an Argentina-centric one. By Greece-centric I mean that while there are Argentine players in the pics too, the photos are mainly focused on the Greeks.
Okay, so first one:
There was this epic hair war going on between Georgios Samaras and Martin Demichelis.

OMG these Greek fans were hilarious.

He ended up with the kleenex in the mouth thing.
