FIFA World Cup - Germany thrash Argentina

When Miroslav Klose netted the ball during the 89th minute of the game, it completed a ritual of sorts which had begun within a few minutes after the start of the match. Such was the dominance of this young German side that it seems that they are growing stronger with each passing game in this world cup. The South American side were left wanting for more from there champion players like Lionel Messi who ended his world cup campaign without scoring a goal.
The German team had a dream start when the free kick on 3rd minute was headed to goal by Mueller, the Argentinian defense nowhere in sight. At 20, he is probably a future star for Germany. Argentina had opportunities but could not get the ball behind the German goalkeeper.At the end of first half the score line was 1-0 in favour of Germany. During the second half the Germans showed their excellent counter attacking skills, exposing the weak left line of Argentina. The European powerhouse humbled Diego Maradona's men 4-0 at the end of the game, an unexpected scoreline for sure.
