GERMANY EARNS CONVINCING QUARTERFINAL WIN OVER ARGENTINA

Germany had an easier than expected 4-0 win over Argentina on Saturday, reaching the World Cup semifinals and sending both Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona home.

Miroslav Klose scored two of the goals, taking his World Cup total to 14 in three tournaments. The 14 goals equals the German record, held by Gerd Mueller. Brazil striker Ronaldo has the record with 15 goals.

Thomas Mueller gave Germany the lead with a third-minute header, and Klose celebrated his 100th international appearance with a simple tap-in in the 68th minute as Germany outplayed the Argentine defence.

Arne Friedrich raced all the way up from defence to strike home the third goal in the 74th, and Klose scored his second in the 89th.

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

That was an incredible game to watch. I think Germany has got what it takes to steamroll anyone left - they play with passion and their speed is evident at every turn.

Did you hear the announcer discussing how young these guys are? Most of the team is between 20-26!

I was at the pub nice and early this morning to watch that awesome drubbing. Germany looks to be getting stronger and stronger. I am slightly concerned about not having Mueller for the semis though.

Awesome game, Germany certainly does look to be playing their best football right now. Definitely the most exciting team to watch, and hopefully headed for the finals.

Germany looks spectacular. A true joy to watch coming from a non soccer/football fan. I seriously hope they win it all.
