The battle of words adds highlight to this game.

The two teams have met five times in the World Cup, with Germany winning three wins, draw and losing, and having the upper hand. Their only loss was in the 1986 final, which was the most glorious World Cup in Maradona.

In the quarterfinals four years ago, Germany eliminated the opponent by penalty kicks, but in six confrontations after the 1990 World Cup final, Germany never defeated Argentina within normal game time. They lost 0-1 in Munich in March this year.

This is the Germans who have reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup for fifteen consecutive times. They have reached the quarterfinals of 16 times in total, which fully demonstrates their strength. In order to encourage the German team to take a step further, German Chancellor Angela Merkel came to cheer.

At 3:30 p.m. on July 3, the Green Penalty Stadium in Cape Town was filled and the battle was about to begin!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, with the referee's whistle, the focus battle began!

After the game started, the Germans were very active, which led to the excited Klose kicking Mascherano behind the back after the opening. The Germans' enthusiasm made the Argentinian very uncomfortable, and the ball under their feet was quickly snatched by the Germans.

What was unexpected was that the Germans had a fantastic start in the third minute!

Schweinsteig counterattacked on the right and made a large-scale transfer. Podolsky got the ball from the left wing and tripped by Otamendi. The referee awarded Germany a free kick.

Schweinsteiger took a free kick from the left, Thomas Muller grabbed the front of Otamendi and headed the ball seven meters away from the goal. Goalkeeper Romero made a mistake in judgment, and the ball touched his right calf and bounced into the middle of the goal!

The ball has entered!

The score became one to zero!

One hundred and fifty-seven seconds! If it weren't for Tang Jue's five-second goal, this goal would be the fastest goal in this World Cup.

It was another goalkeeper's mistake, and the 1990 World Cup opened. The defending champion Argentina was unpopular because of the goalkeeper's mistake and lost to Cameroon led by Uncle Mira with a zero-to-one score.

This is Thomas Muller's fourth goal in seven matches. He scored all the points in the four consecutive World Cups in this World Cup. This is Germany's fastest World Cup goal since 1978. Argentina's last World Cup conceded so quickly dates back to the 1958 group stage. He was scored by McPallan, Northern Ireland.

The German fans in the stands were extremely excited, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel happily applauded his team. After a moment of silence, the frustrated Maradona encouraged his disciples with applause.

The Germans lost the ball so quickly, as if they were hitting the Argentinians hard. After the game started again, their offense lost its layout. The luxury attack group failed to threaten the German goal, but the Germans' offense was very orderly.

In the seventh minute, Schweinsteiger's long shot with his right foot in the middle was blocked.

In the eighth minute, Schweinsteiger got another shot, 27 meters away from the goal. He shot a long shot and the football was above the crossbar.

In the 13th minute, the German team cooperated to create chaos. Ozil took the ball in the penalty area and was blocked. Thomas Muller knocked on the left side, and Podolski's right foot shot was blocked from the edge of the penalty area.

The Argentines never expected the Germans to be so aggressive, and then they strengthened the midfield competition to slowly stabilize the situation.

The Germans did a good job in defense and did not give the Argentinian a shot. In the 22nd minute, Messi passed through the right side of the penalty area in the middle, and Neuer attacked in time and saved the ball at Tevez's feet.

Germany almost expanded the score in the 24th minute. Thomas Muller broke into the penalty area and made a cross from the right rib, and Klose pushed the ball and shot from the front 12 meters away from the goal.

It was not until the 29th minute of the first half that the Argentine scored its first real shot. Messi passed the ball, and the impatient Heinze shot from the left long shot.

This shot inspired the Argentinians' fighting spirit, and then they put pressure on the German goal.

In the 31st minute, Tevez was knocked down by Podolski. Messi made a free kick with his left foot from 24 meters from the goal on the right.

In the 33rd minute, Tevez passed the ball in the middle. Di Maria cut into the penalty area with a right rib and shot with a low left foot from 13 meters away from the goal, but was confiscated by Neuer.

In the 35th minute, Otamendi passed the low pass on the right side of the penalty area. Higuain dunked Friedrich, and shot with his left foot low shot from 12 meters in front of the goal was obtained by Neuer.

In the 36th minute, Di Maria was pushed out from the right cross. Messi stopped the ball from the top of the penalty area with a chest. Thomas Mueller touched the ball with his arm and received a yellow card, and he would be suspended for one game. Messi's free kick was blocked by a wall from 23 meters in front of the goal. Heinze passed the left side of the penalty area. Tevez's instep was pushed into the middle, and Higuain pushed his right foot into the empty goal six meters in front of the goal!

The Argentine fans at the scene were about to cheer, and the referee signaled that the ball was offside first. Slow motion showed that at the moment of Heinze's passing, as many as four Argentine were in an offside position!

What does this mean?

This shows that the Argentinian is too eager to equalize the score.

After withstanding a round of fierce attacks by the Argentinians, the Germans began to organize an attack.

In the 39th minute, Podolski shot hard with his left foot from 28 meters away from the goal on the left, and the football went out of the far post.

In the 41st minute, Ozil shot high with his left foot from 25 meters in front of the goal.

In the 44th minute, Ram knocked back from the bottom of the right, and Muller stopped the ball from the front point and shot from the meter in the goal. The football was blocked from the far post!

As the referee's whistle sounded and the first half ended, the Germans temporarily led by 1-0 with a lightning goal.

After fifteen minutes of rest, the players of both sides returned to the court and fought again. The Germans tightly curbed Messi and did not give him a chance to perform. So in the next ten minutes, "Argentina Hope" disappeared from people's sight.

The score was behind, and the Argentinian launched a tide attack at the beginning of the game. At the beginning of the second half, Heinze passed the ball from the left, and Maxi Rodriguez took the ball 12 meters away from the goal, turning around and shooting. The football was blocked by Mertesack.

In the 48th minute, Di Maria shot with her left foot from 28 meters away from the goal on the right and missed the far post.

In the 54th minute, Di Maria scored a ball with her left foot from the bottom of the right, and Maxi Rodriguez made a goal with her chest from the back. Tevez volleyed at the 12 meters in front of the goal, and the football hit Mertesak's face and reflected the near post.

In the 55th minute, Higuain broke into the right side of the penalty area and passed the low pass, causing Neuer to hold the ball and lose his hand, but the ball fell to Khedira's feet.

Argentine fans in front of the TV began to miss Maradona. If the king of football was not on the sidelines, but on the court, then Argentina might have a chance to equalize the score. The Argentine midfielder simply could not provide the forwards with a chance to win with one blow.

Football is like a war, and it emphasizes one-piece action, and then declines, and then exhausts three times. Argentina's ten-minute round of fierce attacks still could not break through the German goal. After the German recovered, he launched an attack.

In the 56th minute, Podolski hit a long-range free kick on the wall.

In the 57th minute, Boateng made a diagonal pass from the left, and Romero flew in front of Klose.

In the 62nd minute, Schweinsteig took a free kick 26 meters in front of the goal, and the football was blocked by a wall.

It's like a big show. After you finish singing, I will appear.

In the 65th minute, Di Maria cut inside the penalty area line from the right, and shot with his left foot and was hugged by Neuer. Argentina's national TV station shook his head and sighed: "It's not that Neuer is too brave, but that our forward's shooting skills are too poor."

Argentina, who could not be conquered for a long time, was hit in the 67th minute. Khedira made a straight pass from the left rib, Thomas fell to the ground with her back and made a hook pass with her right foot, Podolski broke into the penalty area and passed the gap between Romero and Burdiso!

Klose stopped the ball and easily sent it into the empty goal!

The score became 2 to zero!

Argentine fans looked at the stadium incredible. Is this the team they have high expectations?

The offense is out of order and the defense is full of loopholes.

Despair appeared in the eyes of Argentine players.

On the sidelines, the football king Maradona lowered his proud head and felt in pain. All over the world, Argentina's supporters shed tears of sadness and despair. They were sad and lagging behind two goals. Despair was not the possibility of the team scoring.

Take his life while he is sick!

Eight minutes later, the German gave the Argentinian a fatal blow. In the 74th minute, Schweinsteig took a tactical corner kick from the left. After Podolsky passed the ball, Schweinsteig accelerated and passed three people in a row and cut into the bottom line of the penalty area to knock back!

Friedrich shot into the near corner from four meters away from the front point!

The score became three to zero!

Argentina is not on guard today!

The whole world knows that Argentina is out of the blue.

Maradona replaced his son-in-law Aguero. The desperate Argentines made a tide of attack, and they wanted to score a goal to save face.

In the 76th minute, Pastorre's long shot from a small angle from the right missed the close post. One minute later, Tevez shot from the left and shot and shot away.

In the 87th minute, Messi's long shot with his left foot was obtained by Neuer.

Germany added icing on the cake in the 89th minute. Ozil made a cross from the left, and Klose pushed his right foot into the lower left corner with half a volley from nine meters in front of the goal!

The score became four to zero!

This is the 54th goal of Klose's national team, and it is also his fourth goal in this cup. With fourteen World Cup goals, he tied for the second place in the World Cup scorer list with his senior Ged Muller, behind Ronnie and Tang Jue.

Three minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game. The German-Arc battle ended, and no one expected that Argentina would lose at the feet of the Germans. Argentine players and fans shed tears of sad and painful tears.

At this point, Germany became the first team to defeat Argentina and England in the same World Cup, and it was also the first team to score four goals in three games in a single game since Brazil in 1970. Argentina's last World Cup defeat dates back to 0-4 losses to the Netherlands in 1974.

Germany beat Argentina four-to-zero, tying the record of reaching the semi-finals for three consecutive times, and setting a new record of twelve finalists.

According to reports: Maradona originally believed that the 2010 World Cup would be a replica of the 1986 World Cup, but in the end he found that the glory of 1986 could not be replicated. After the game, the "Maradona" Messi in Maradona's heart shed tears on the stadium, and Lao Ma specially comforted Messi for this.

However, after entering the locker room, Maradona himself couldn't help crying in the sad atmosphere of the whole team. Obviously, the loss of the big score and the fact that his dream was broken made the entire Argentina team feel unacceptable.

Argentina Football Association Chairman Grondona and the national team's technical adviser Bilardo walked into the locker room and tried to comfort Maradona and Argentine players, but the results were minimal.

Maradona was in such a bad mood that the German coach Löw held a press conference first, and in principle the head coach of the losing team should have a press conference first.

Maradona first analyzed the score 0-4 at the post-match press conference. He obviously did not admit defeat: "The score is not a reflection of the real situation on the field. The score will not reduce my pride for my players. I want to thank the team and the coaching staff. We have not realized our dreams, but we respect the Argentine style."

The heartbroken Maradona said after the game that he was already considering resigning and no longer served as Argentina's head coach.

The result of this game shocked the world. Argentina ** reported: This is the tragedy of Argentina!

The team report said: Argentina lost 0-4 to Germany, making the prophecy of the octopus "Paul" come true again. This night was a sad night for the Argentines, and sadness made the Argentines angry, while anger made the Argentines want to eat Paul of the octopus.

In this World Cup, there is a very strange thing. A German octopus predicts the results of the German team's match before the German team plays, and the results are correct every time, including a loss against Serbia.

This octopus, called "Paul", was selected from a glass box with the flags of two national teams, and then climbed in to make its own predictions. Before the Battle of Ade, the octopus crawled into a glass box with the flags of Germany, predicting that the German team would win.

After continuous successful predictions, Paul Octopus has gained a lot of fame around the world. The same is true in Argentina, Paul is also a "big celebrity". On the Facebook of the Internet community website, Paul has become the focus of discussion.

A group that "If Argentina is eliminated by Germany and kills the octopus "Paul"" has become a popular target for Argentine fans on Facebook. The name of this group directly expresses the fans' views. But this cannot simply express the anger of Argentine fans, and many fans even left messages saying they were going to eat the octopus.
