Argentina Vs Germany - This Should Have Been a World Cup Semi-Final!

Yesterday saw the second of the four Quarter Final matches finalised, with Germany beating England (some might say with the help of one of the most awful refereeing decisions in recent times) and Argentina beating Mexico (er, again with a bad offside decision). Two World Cup giants of World Cup past, with eyes very much on the immediate future...

Diego Maradona, so often a part of Argentina's World Cup past glories, now has the reins of Argentina's future in his hands. He's doing a great job too, it has to be said. Qualifying for South Africa proved a little tricky, but surely the man has won some respect for the way his team are coming together in these finals. With Messi starting to come alive, Tevez on the scoresheet and plenty of co-stars in support, Argentina are looking every bit the part.

Germany, on the other hand, have seemingly morphed from a young team made up of Brazilians, Turks and Poles into a potential World Cup winning team. Probably the most cosmopolitan German team in history with no real big names to speak of (outside the Bundesliga), what was it that BBC commentator said yesterday before the England v Germany match? Oh yes..."You look at this German team and think about who would get in the England team and you have maybe 1 player". Right! And another thing - perhaps it wasn't such a bad thing that Ballack couldn't make it to South Africa - what do you think?

So, when we stick our football predictions hat on, what do we come up with? Firstly, we have to say that it's probably a match too soon - this one would have been great as a classic semi-final - but this is the way it goes and how the draw unfolds...so "only" a semi-final berth to shoot for for the winners of this match! Secondly, it has the potential to be a real classic, one of those games that goes down in history. Hopefully not because of some poor officialing, but rather because of the pure footballing talent on display.

Perhaps a Messi masterclass? Or a Muller wondershow? Maybe a Tevez scoring session? Or possibly even time for Shweinsteiger to take center stage?

Whatever happens, this is one game I won't be missing!
