Argentina’s dream’s of making it big in the World Cup was reduced to rubble and Coach Diego Maradona was devastated as Germany beat Argentina 4-0. There were mixed emotions in the spectators watching the game at Cape Town in South Africa as many rejoiced at Germany’s victory, while Argentina’s fans shocked and disappointed. As Europe seems to be recovering from a slow start, Brazil has been ousted and now Argentina will also follow suit.

Spain would be playing against Uruguay and Paraguay. It was a dream come true, for Germany as Thomas Muller propelled the ball full speed into the net as the team made the fourth goal. The match came into action as Miroslav Klose doubled Germany’s chances of making it to the world cup by scoring against the champs from Argentina.

It happened at the 68th minute,  and this was followed by Lukas Podolski made  a perfect pass from the left side  and the striker made a run for the perfect goal from a close range. Germany would be playing the winners of the quarter final match against  Spain and Paraguay that would be held on Saturday. It seems like the de ja vu as the world Cup of the Dutch that was held 1974.This is possible only if the Oranje can beat Uruguay in their own last four meetings.
