It may not be a pasting proper, but it is definitely embarrassing for the losing team. 4 is on the high end of typical for scoring.

Some folks on another list were rooting for Germany because Argentina's coach or advisor or whoever--Maradona?--was so arrogant. Guess they got their wish.

They're thinking Germany will win it. They were so dominating.

I wish I had seen the game, I heard it was a brilliant team effort on Germany's part.

I don't know the game well at all, but Germany scored within the first minute or so, and the hits just kept on coming.
