First quarter final settled

It’s all over for Sweden. To be honest, I was a little disappointed by their lack of fight. The shots stat says it all – 22 shots for Germany, 4 for Sweden. The Germans almost had the second half off. The second game was a lot better though, I hadn’t really realised how good Mexico are, they can really play! It’s a disappointment that Mexico couldn’t hold on for pens, but at least the Argies had to play out the extra time. Amazing games when you get to this stage of the World Cup – Argentina v Germany in the quarter finals!
