germany will be able to score, there 1 touch passing and through balls will split the weak argentina defense.
Not sure who wins, but germany can.

I agree. Very dangerous game for the Argies. Still think they win though. Germans tore apart a pitiful English defense today, but the Mexican D wasn't much either. Will be an awesome match.

Germany gave a perfect example of what a great counter attack offense can do to a shitty defense, not matter what the team is. The germans are way too fast and skilled for their defensive line.. if Argies dont come up with some kind of fix up, i think this is the end of Argentina.. Argentina strikers are deadly this world cup but im not sure thats enough for this game..

This should be a fun one... I agree that the Germans should be able to take advantage of Argentia's weaknesses. But you can't count out a team as talented as Argentina -- perhaps they'll be a little tighter and more disciplined against a team as tactically strong as Germany.

I dont think im underestimatting Argentina. You have to remember that they havent played great teams so far and the Germans will be their first true test. There are gonna be lots of kicks to stop messi and the germans will eventually take advantage of the defensive errors. They key for Argentina I think its to score a quick goal at the begging of the game to have chances cause if Germany begins to grab momentum, their defense is going to look like a joke , kinda like in todays game but worse.

Your forgetting that Germany don't have a good defense either, England is a very overrated team who play an out of date formation which gave them no favors against what Germany was playing. Argentina is not as tactically naive, holds the ball better in midfield and will give that defense serious problems.

i'm just saying germany will score, and thats why im leaning to over because i cant pick a winner but i know they will torment each others defense.

Tis one of the hardest games to cap in the cup so far. Argentina has awesome individual players, Messi, Higuain, Milito, Palermo, Tevez, Aguero, and even De Maria and DeMichelis but they all play as individuals, not as a team, it would've been different if they all played together gearing up a counterattack from the defensive lines.
Germany on the other hand has some stars on the team as well, Podolski, Klose and the youngster Oezil just to mention some of them, the big difference lays on the fact that Germany plays in an ordered fashion, they all put some of their strenght into the play and do not just rely on whomever is upfront attacking, if you want to see a clear example of this, look at today's game, Capello ordered a no-return attack on England and 2 counterattacks that both started in the first 1/4th of Germany's field ended up being goals giving Germany today's score of 4-0.
I pretty much believe Germany will win the game, the game may not go over if the line shoots out on 2½, but they have over 60% chances of winning.
Good luck and happy betting

This is going to be another great game. I have a feeling Jogi will tactically outcoach Maradonna, but I'm not sure if that's going to make up for the pure talent in the Argentine strikeforce.

Maradona needs to start Milito here with Tevez. Milito's strength will test the German backline. Both keepers imo are awful and will play a big factor in the match. The good news for Argentina is that Messi is still scoreless and badly overdue. One thing i must stress is that both teams have had a easy route so far( argies maybe a little easier) and must pick up there play to overcome one or the other. Germany is a good young team but i think there road ends here but it would be tough for me to put money against the germans.

Our team (Germany) has to have a lot of ball possesion in this match. That is the key to win this game. In case our team lets Argentina control the midfield then it is lights out for our team. We have to take advantage of the defensive problems Argentina has. Especially Demichelis is known for making mistakes. He showed this in a couple of matches for his team Bayern Munich.
We have a solid goalie with Neuer, and two good defenders with Lahm and Friedrich. On the other hand Mertesacker is playing pretty weak in this WC. Boateng - I am still not sure what to think about him. Khedira and Schweinsteiger have to stop Messi and the Argentinian midfielders. Podolski has to do more defensive work than he is used to do. Our team has to stop the Argentinian team way before our box - otherwise we will be in trouble. Our midfield with Müller, Özil and Podolski is always able to make pressure on any defense and Kloses game keeps improving. Especially Müller is maybe our best player so far. This guy is just 20 years old and one year ago he was playing in the 3rd German league.
So far we played two great matches against Australia and England. The performance of Argentina today was average - nothing more.
It will be a classic match again when Germany faces Argentina in the WC. They have beaten us in the WC final 1986 (2-3). We have beaten them in the WC final 1990 (1-0). In the WC 2006 we have beaten them in the quarterfinals (1-1 after extratime, 4-2 after penalties).

We will beat Argentina 3-1. Maradona is a joke as a coach. Maybe he isnt the real coach - maybe he just the one who represents the team so that all pressure is on him. He is more like a fan than a coach.
Messi is done. He played so many games for Barca that he does not have the power he showed during the whole season with Barca.
We were clearly the better team in the final 1990. It was a well deserved win over Argentina. Germany was the best team in the WC 1990. Whoever thinks Argentina was better is a fool.
For sure Argentina has the better players than we have but WE HAVE A TEAM with a great teamspirit. The match we played against them in March does not count. Both sides were horrible.
Under no - really no circumstances Argentina will beat us.
