Most things have allready been said so i won`t go over old ground
The only thing i don`t think has been mentioned is that this was not a very good German team we where playing. They didn`t play all that well either yet still managed to score four times
If you took the England teams players at club level and said to the managers of said players "would you swap him for the opposite German player" maybe 2 or 3 would go for the German player.
Argentina will devour the Germans in the quarters, they have pace up front which they are able to use effectively, in other words the forwards can control/hold on to/use the ball and the Germans defence is not much better than ours.
Spain is the only hope for a European country in this world cup with France, Italy and England allready out it seems that European football at International level has really dropped to a new low. Maybe the influx of South American/African players into all the major European leagues is finally starting to bite...
I haven`t a clue what the answer is, maybe there isn`t one
