Thomas Muller and Miroslav Klose were on target once more as Germany booked their World Cup semi-final place at the expense of Argentina. Muller netted the last two goals in the 4-1 win over England last time but was quicker off the mark in Cape Town, heading home in the third minute as Joachim Low's side made a blistering start. Klose, who had scored the opener against England, then tapped home a 67th minute second. Arne Friedrich netted a
third seven minutes later and Klose scored his second with a minute to go to make sure of the success over Diego Maradona's men. It also dashed for now Maradona's dream of reaching a World Cup final as a coach after he lifted the trophy as a player at Germany's expense in 1986 and then was the losing captain to the same rivals four years later.
Speaking after the tie, Maradona said "I may leave tomorrow" before stating that "whoever comes after me" will continue to implement an attacking style for the national side.
