Argentina Booking Flight Home

Argentina were buried thanks to a third-minute goal from Thomas Muller and two second-half efforts from Miroslav Klose and one from Arne Friedrich. Diego Maradona's side started slowly and then never recovered after conceding the early goal. There was plenty off huff and puff as Argentina fought to get back into the match but they never really created any clear-cut chances, despite all their possession. As La Albiceleste pushed forward they played into the hands of Germany's quick counter-attacks and were picked off late on.
