Yes it is a shame that one of these two teams - Argentina and Germany - won’t be in the semis but thats how it goes sometimes in a KO-based competition such as FIFA World Cup. But it also gives other teams like Holland, Portugal and Spain a real chance of reaching the semis
And as fearsome as the Argentina attack is, they will surely need to be at their best ‘defensively’ if they are to win this crunch game. The Germans always looked dangerous on the counter-attack against England.
btw I was dead right with my prediction about Argentina beating Mexico 3-1..
