Germany sends Argentina home from their World Cup dreams
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Germany had an easier than
expected 4-0 win over Argentina on Saturday, reaching the World Cup
semifinals and sending both Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona home.
Miroslav Klose scored two of the goals, taking his World Cup record to
14 in three tournaments. The 14 goals equals the German record, held by
Gerd Mueller. Brazil striker Ronaldo has the record with 15 goals.
Thomas Mueller gave Germany the lead with a third-minute header, and
Klose celebrated his 100th international appearance with a simple tap-in
in the 68th minute as Germany outplayed the Argentine defense.
Arne Friedrich raced all the way up from defense to strike home the
third goal in the 74th, and Klose scored his second in the 89th.
