Wow. I think it can safely be said that Germany is going to the semi-finals..

Netherlands - Germany final perhaps?

We will never fully decide who has won the football.

Wow, didn't think a third goal was up for grabs but a great run and peel back. The Argies are utterly downtrodden.

This looks like a pretty safe bet to me.

If Germany gets one more goal, they'll have a score line worse than England. Now there's a thought.

Would be a good match. Depends what happens with Spain I guess.

They don't seem to be looking as flash as Germany I must say.

You know Spain are still in it right?

Three for me, and two for them.

Yep, but Spain have underwhelmed all the way through, for me. I don't see them stopping Germany.

Too many attack midfielders and forwards not enough defensive ones for the Argies. Pastore, Di Maria and Higuain were easily beaten for the third.

Maradona expected Mascherano to cover everything, as good as Mascherano is he can't cover Ozil, Schweinsteiger, Khedira, Muller. Esteban Cambiasso really should have been in this team.

They were pretty sharp in the second half last night when it counted.

4-0. Stunning goal. Klose breaks out the flip. Argentina have been demolished.

Three for me, and two for them.

OK, this is better than the match against England. At least England scored. . . .

Germany is the team to beat, forget the dutch or spanish. Their tactical awareness, discipline and good hard work is just sublime.

Brilliant by the Germans. Should be great semi if Spain go through.

I thought they'd win but I didn't expect it to be a slaughter. Bloody hell, talk about ruthless.
 
Please don't let this WC end up in a Uruguay v Germany final....

Er, it's the Germans who are facing Spain if Spain win. If it was going to be a Netherlands - Spain semi-final then yep, that would be more of a toss-up.

Damn - picked all the semis so far but never put a bet on. Picked Spain for the last one so have probably cursed them now.

Well, I underestimated them. I thought it will be 2-0 to Germany with the Germans in control but 4-0 is a massacre against a team like Argentina.AllWhitebelievr2010-07-04 03:56:07

The whole thing was so one-sided that there wasn't even any opportunity for some tasty Maradona histrionics - he just looked appalled and powerless. Will be very quickly shunted off the scene now.

Germany were rampant!  Klose needs two more goals to become the out and out top goal-scorer in World Cups - is that right?  He's on 14 now and Ronaldo is on 15?

I hope they beat the Spanish - a team who've been very underwhelming.

I await the octopus' decision with baited breath.

If Klose beats Ronaldo's record i will cry. Klose isn't 1/10 the player Ronaldo was.

Three for me, and two for them.

Never liked Ronaldo at all.  Last World Cup, despite scoring, he was such a joke.  Obviously not at his best but it was just bad.

He's allowed to be a joke tbf. World Cup winner in 2002. Golden boot in 2002. Golden ball in 1998. Those accolades entitle you to be a joke whenever you like.

Three for me, and two for them.

Outstanding stuff. Couldn't be more impressed with these guys yet again. Can't wait for the semi now, will be brilliant.
 
A Netherlands v Germany final would be awesome.

About 5weeks ago I put a bet on Germany winning the cup and I'm very confident. Apart frm NZ they are the one country whose every game I have watched and they have all been exciting
