Germany 4 ~ 0 Argentina

नरापो न्यूज, काठमाडौं
The Germany vs Argentina 2010 World Cup match was decided pretty early, starting with a third minute goal from Thomas Muller. The Germans held the 1-0 lead much of the way, until exploding for three late goals to complete the 4-0 rout.

Germany vs Argentina 2010 added to a World Cup rivalry. The Germany vs Argentina 2010 World Cup followed the Germany-Argentina World Cup finals of 1986 and 1990, as well as their quarterfinal

in 2006. In 1986, the Argentines completed their triumph over the West Germans, who then got revenge in the last World Cup before unification. In 2006, the Germans eliminated the Argentines again on penalty kicks, before losing in the semifinals. But for today's Germany vs Argentina 2010 World Cup showdown, the Germans didn't need to take that long for victory.

Coming into today's quarterfinal, the Argentines were among the big stories of the tournament. Coach Diego Maradona was as flashy as expected, while everyone was waiting for Lionel Messi to explode. With Brazil eliminated, a win would have made Argentina the favorite to win it all. Instead, the Germans may have that honor now.


Any hopes for an Argentine comeback were halted with a Miroslav Klose goal in the 68'th minute. Arne Friedrich got the rout started in earnest with a 74'th minute strike, followed by another Klose goal. His two goals were his 13'th and 14'th in World Cup play, one shy of the all-time record.

Before today, the Germany vs Argentina 2010 showdown was treated as a World Cup final. However, fans hope the actual final isn't this lopsided - although the Germans wouldn't mind another day like this. All of a sudden, the Argentines went from a dominant team to one on their heels, as all their early success was for nothing.

Messi ultimately never got going in the 2010 World Cup, although the Germany vs Argentina match might not have been changed if he did. The Germans got their third blowout win in this tournament, after beating England 4-1, and defeating Australia 4-0 in their opening match. Their 1-0 loss to Serbia in group play now looks more like an aberration.

Germania s-a calificat la pas în semifinale după ce a umilit cu 4-0 Argentina. Muller a deschis scorul în minutul 3, Klose a făcut 2-0 în repriza secundă, când Germania a mai marcat de două  ori prin Friedrich și iar Klose.

Germania adeschis scorul încă din minutul 3, când Thomas Muller a reluat fără emoții în plasă o pasă din lovitură liberă venită de la Schweinsteiger.

Miroslav Klose a dublat avantajul în minutul 68 când a fructificat pasa excelentă a lui Podolski. Golul de 3-0 a venit în minutul 74 de la Friedrich, care a reluat frumos în plasă pasa de la Schweinsteiger, pentru ca Miroslav Klose să înscrie al doilea său gol în acest meci stabilind scorul final în minutul 89.

Astfel o nouă favorită își face bagajele și pleacă acasă după Brazilia care a fost eliminată tot în sferturi de Olanda.
