Semi-Finals, here we come!!! Extended (z.T. auf Deutsch)
Quarterfinals!!! Germany vs. Argentina!!! We played again, after such a long break!
Argentina was stated to be the favourite and win this game!!! Well, we proved you wrong!!! Totally wrong!!!
An alle meine deutschen Leser: Ich brauch euch nicht viel zu diesem Spiel erzählen -- genießt die Videos, da diese auf Deutsch sind!!! Wir haben die Gauchos wirklich in einem absolut genialem Spiel verdient geschlagen!!! Vorwärts Deutschland!!!
Check out this pre- RAPORTAGE about the last 5 games Germany vs. Argentina at former World Cup´s and supporting our TEAM on Cape Town for this game:
Let´s begin with the third minute of the game -- you got Müller(ed) -- Gooooaaaaal for Germany!!! And this yellow card for the handball of Müller was unnecessary, because he didn´t touch the ball with his hand at all, he did it with his chest and somehow it looked like as if but it wasn´t… grrrr… now he is blocked for the next game, but don´t even start to underestimate us
If you have seen the second half of the game you know what I mean!!!
Argentina just had one really good chance, but it was an offside goal and guess what the referee did see it ![]()
And even if Argentina came close we had Manuel Neuer, our goalkeeper, who saved sooooo many goals!!!
With the begin of the second half of the game people at the public viewing spot were just hoping that Germany is keeping the score, but something way better came up!!! Two times Klose and one time Friedrich made terrific goals!!! The whole crowd was cheering and celebrating!!!
Check out the highlights on this video!!!
The lady with the red jacket she is our Chancellor Angela Merkel and you better check out Miroslav Klose turning his Salto at 3:05!!!
But not just any cheering!!!! During the beginning of the second half it started to rain… first a little bit and then, gosh , as if someone would empty buckets above your head!!! The whole week the degrees were climbing… till 38 degrees today!!! All the days and today sunshine -- it was so hot all day!!! Suddenly rain and thunderstorm came up -- so refreshing!!! But check out the pictures -- we got wet, really wet *hahah* and our soccer team didn´t left us standing in the rain for nothing
We won 4:0!!!! Freaking awesome!!! What an oustanding, dynamic, fast, incredible…..can go on like this, but…. GAME!!!
Spain, we want revenge for the European Cup Final 2008!!! SEMI-FINALS HERE WE COME!!!

Here it is -- Blumentopf RAPORTAGE No.9 Germany vs. Argentina World Cup 2010 !! Enjoy the video! For all people who don´t understand German I tried my very best with the a translation!
Translation
Blumentopf: “Welcome! I don´t know what to say!”
Thomas Müller: “We are just celebrating now!”
Jogi Löw: “That was great!”
Blumentopf: “Primary 4:1 they slap out England and then 4:0 Argentina!”
Bastian Schweinsteiger: “Yeah, that´s goose flesh!”
Blumentopf: “ Ey man, what we expected was a close duell, but what we have got was sensational!”
Everything went so fast, the fastest goal of the world cup! Schweinsteiger with the free kick and with a header he buried the ball in the net!
And Argentina is shocked, man, it takes off their shoes! Not anyone has put this past our young team!
Now step it up one more time and get round thing in the square thing!
Müller plays back to Klose that is a 100% score! (Klose didn´t made it, as you can see in the video)
Hopefully this is not avenging oneself, man they are not so bad!
We can´t count on that Messi is not scoring!
There is tunneled and pressed and in all kind of ways fired! (which kind of means scoring)
But all scores end up in Manuel Neuer´s hands!
And suddenly the Argentine raising their arms upward, but what says the line referee?
Oh, he has raised the flag!
But on the defensive, really everyone must give it all!
Our Team holds against it and shows taker quality!
They have Messi dribbling and a Heinze, who blusters!
We have Müller who is sitting and Klose who is scoring and what Schweinsteiger is doing is in a class of his own!
And Diego how is it going? Oh, better don´t ask!
Ey, that is counterattack soccer as you should play it!
Was that a somersault of Klose or favourite role?
What a game! Ey, have you seen it?
They have swept the Albiceleste 4:0 off the court!”
Thomas Müller: “ This is crazy what happened here!”
Blumentopf: “Everything was perfect!”
Jogie Löw: “Now we are in the semi finals and that´s where the team belongs to!”
Blumentopf: “And someone who plays like you can win everything!
Just two more such victories and then you have it!
One, two, three We! want title No. four!
Three, two, one come one get the ball in the goal!
One, two, three We! want title No. four!
Three, two, one make this dream come true!
What was going on there, please?
Klose has scored now more goals than Pele!
And now comes the revenge against Spain and then off to the finals!”

Argentina had their chances but fluffed them..and their defence was crap, totally torn apart by Germany. Absolute masterclass of total football!
Congrats! I watched the hilights this morning, amazing goals!
