Germany 4 0 Argentina....that was as much an humiliation for Argentina as the thrashing England had to endure a week earlier, the epitome of pure counter attacking football, no matter what Argentina through at Germany an inspired German squad tore Argentina to pieces, Diego Maradona looked dazed and confused, like Joachim Loew had wandered over and kneed him in the ?Ferrero Rocher?s?...... Klose was a total non entity turning in wrenched performances for Bayern Munich this season, a nowhere man, scoring just three goals.... For Germany Klose is just a goal away from Ronaldo?s all time record of 15... Argentina like England was headless, Germany?s confidence, pace and speed on the counterattack was overwhelming and decisive, Messi rendered impotent could never impose himself on the match with Schweinsteiger permanently welded to his butt....Germany is going all the way....

This afternoons quarter final German football master class, a goal fest laying waste to any Argentinean hopes of progressing further, we had a rather disappointing Paraguay 0 1 Spain ... the first time Spain has reached a World Cup semi-final....one thing for sure Spain will have to raise their game a whole lot more than a few notches if they are going to have any chance beating Germany on Wednesday.........
