Germany - Argentina

[Skybird]

A true classic. Germany hungry for gaining it's 8th access to a world cup final (more than Brazil) while hosting the tournament, and having shown up to be an aggressive top team in this tournament. Argentina being a favourite for this tournament from the first day on, but so far not as strong and convincing as one had to expect. Argentina also playing surprisingly fair, not much yellow cards for them.The match will be held and decided on almost same eye level. Germany has small advantages (morale, very hungry players, audience, and very fast and flexible attacking style as was to be seen against Sweden). Argentina has ambitons, too, has good individual players, and can fight. Could become interesting, but I think the German team spirit will decide it. If Germany wins, I theoretically don't see any other team able to stop them in this tournament, mjam-mjam!. I rate the chances 55:45 for Germany. Friday is the day!
