More convincing than anyone expected,
Germany overthrew favorites
Argentina with a four-star performance. Beginning with youngster
Thomas Mueller's 3' header and ending with Miroslav Klose's handy 89' finish, Deutschland controlled this match.
Diego Maradonna took the loss with class, embracing each of his players in the same way the match began. However hopeful El Diego was, his team never recovered after conceding the early goal.
A
Miroslav Klose brace was the highlight of this match as Germany continues to build their resume; applying for 'best in the world'. Defender
Arne Friedrich rounds out the scoresheet with a close-range shot in the 74'.
The Argentines put in a noble effort, but once again it seems that team chemistry, not star-power, will ultimately decide football's World Cup.
Germany moves forward to face either
Spain or
Paraguay in Durban on Wednesday.
