I didn't catch any of this game due to prior engagements, but how about Germany, eh? They destroy Argentina, 4-0, en route to advancing to the final four. They will face Spain, who knocked off Paraguay 1-0 on a Villa strike in the 83rd minute.
For Argentina (my pick to win it all... I guess I should avoid too much soccer analysis and stick with the sports I follow closest, huh?) it is a disappointing exit from a World Cup during which stud talent Lionel Messi failed to notch a goal. After thoroughly impressing and dominating teams until this point, Germany proved to be too much for the sky blue and white stripes of Argentina.
We're down to just four teams. Who will take home the World Cup to their country?
Sweet victory for Germany. I expected a harder match between these two, maybe a 3x2 or 4x3 score, something very close but what we saw was a massacre.
ReplyDeleteIf Germany keeps up their play (and they've been playing well lately) they should have no problem to beat Spain and Uruguai (who I think will get past Netherlands on the semi-finals) and become 4 time World Champions.
I agree... Germany has a real hot squad right now and I'm not sure anyone can stop them. Spain will be a tough test but it took them until the 83rd minute to get past Paraguay, so I'm not overly impressed. I'd pick the Germans right now.
