Tightly called game yields a boring first half. Argentina scores on a brilliantly headed corner early in the second to make it 1-0. That opens up the game a bit, but not until Klose scores a nice header in the 80th does Germany get the equalizer. Then we play on through two 15 minute overtime periods. Germany wins 4-2 in the shootout. A rested Argentina squad might have gotten it done. Had their first string keeper not been injured, the result may have been different as well. Also if Messi were in the game, as he was left out by the coach. On roll the German panzers.
