Congratulations to Ballack and the German team. Playing efficient football with tight marking has been the feature of the German campaign. When it comes to penalty shoot outs, tough mental attitude is an advantage. This squad of Juergen Klinsmann has it in plenty.
Argentina has some fine footballers and many would have loved to see their creative talents in the next rounds. Messi, Riquelme, Tevez and their colleagues are sure to return with greater resolve in the next World Cup.
