Germany hit the post in first half stoppage time

by Kim McCauley

Germany should have gone ahead of Argentina with the last touch of the ball in the first half, but their best chance of the game ricocheted off the post.

The guy who got up for this header, Benedikt Höwedes, probably shouldn’t even be on the pitch after he made a nasty, red card-worthy tackle earlier. But this is a clear, open header, and he should have scored. Thomas Müller being offside when the ball hits off the post and nails him in the midsection is just really unlucky.
