Like It Is

Germany 2 Sweden 0. Once Germany scored two goals in the first 12 minutes of the game it was pretty much over for Sweden. Germany gained confidence to add to determination and Sweden were outplayed. Germany will now face Argentina in the quarter finals next Friday. Should be something to watch.

Argentina 2 Mexico 1.  Argentina swaggered into this match as the champions elect, thinking it was going to be a stroll in the park. Someone forgot to tell Mexico that however and it was anything but. Mexico showed they were there for business and there were scary moments for some when they threatened what would have been the World Cup’s first big upset. At full time, Argentina was still only drawn at 1 goal with Mexico, and it was 8 minutes into extra time when Argentina scored the needed goal to go through. It’s bye bye to Mexico, but what a great show! They tested the Argentina team - this was no walk in the park. Two good teams playing very well.
