Now Argentina can go home. Germany stormed into the semifinals of the 2010 World Cup with a 4-0 drubbing of Argentina. Congratulations to Germany. They got off to a flier, exposed all the Argentine defensive weaknesses -- the ones that everyone knew about but chose to ignore --early on and played a smart defensive game. As the game wore on, the more Argentina pushed, the more susceptible they were to counterattacks. And the Germans showed once again that they're ruthless on the break. Once the game was 2-0, it was really all over. Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thomas Muller were outstanding today.
Argentina? Aside from a spell after about 20 minutes, they never got going today, did they? Still, they've been a treat to watch here.Must say they were over dependant on Messi – an ultra hyped player. They ain’t had a so called ‘MIDFIELD GENERAL’ to control the game but Germany had one in Bastian Schweinsteiger. They lacked a tactical game plan, and some creativity in the midfield. Maradona is a great player. Perhaps the best player to have graced the game of Football. But as a coach, he was an utter failure which was very well evident from the WC qualifiers. Germans unleashed a merciless massacre which made Argentines look so limp! Feeling sorry for Maradona's heartbreak .. A real team takes the stage. The German team was hungry for a win and nationally proud. If more nations had such team pride as opposed to personal glory the competition would be much more fierce, vastly more entertaining and ultimately a greater event. A well deserved win for the Germans. Now BYE BYE ARGENTINA!!!!!
may be i shud read about football now...!
