In a minor upset, Germany routed the favored Argentina in their quarterfinals game on Saturday in soccer betting. The final score of 4-0 was mostly due to a quite aggressive Argentina offense versus a quite patient German defense.

Argentina now follows the other very favored South American team at the online sportsbook, Brazil, out of the competition. Meanwhile, Germany will go on to the semifinals to encounter Spain, who moved on after defeating Paraguay 1-0.

Germany has been a nice surprise for many World Cup betting fanatics. This is a young team that had a fairly unremarkable qualifying round in the run up to the World Cup odds competition in South Africa. It does not boast any major names like Ballack or Kahn as World Cup betting events in the last. In fact, at least until it steps onto the soccer pitch, it’s a fairly low key team that seems to fly under radar.

The German side ripped through the World Cup betting group stage, losing a game to a surprisingly good Serbian side, but snagging 6 points and ultimately winning the group. And no soccer betting fan will forget about the clinic this team put on vs the very favored English side in the World Cup betting round of 16.

The thing that has stood out most is this squad’s offensive ability through 4 competitions in this year’s World Cup betting. It has scored 9 goals, including 2 4 goal outburst and granted only 2 goals for an extraordinary differential of +7.

But it’s the defense that must shine, or at the very least the mid-field must have the ability to hold a bit in order to win vs a team of Argentina’s caliber. And that does not seem all that tricky for Germany. the Germans all but shut them out vs a quite powerful attacking English mid-field of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, even though Lampard did unleash a few fine shots from a distance.

The Argentine attack was much different in the World Cup betting quarterfinal competition and much more difficult to defend. It is packed with speed (Messi, Tevez, and Higuian) and there is not a defense that keeps up with this trio man for man. But Germany managed to firmly resist the attempts of those three attackers to keep them away and prevent any goals. Germany then had plenty of opportunities to get shots on the Argentine goal in the counterattack.

Germany has been an great finishing team to date in the World Cup betting competition. It ended well once again for its prospect to progress to the semifinals in the World Cup.

For his part, infamous Argentina coach Diego Maradona was quite irritated and frustrated with the squad’s loss. Maradona expressed his disappointment at a few of Germany’s loyal fanatics by getting mad and yelling at them until his daughter escorted him away. He once played for the same team that he coaches now. He has taken this defeat very hard, even contemplating leaving the team as coach. As much as he was enjoyable in his antics in the course of the World Cup, it’s also sad to see such a devoted team coach so heartbroken.
