Germany defeated the preferred Argentina in a mild upset in their quarterfinals game on Saturday in soccer betting. The final score of 4-0 was mostly due to a really aggressive Argentina offense versus a pretty patient German defense. Argentina now follows Brazil, the other hugely preferred South American squad at the online sportsbook, out of the contest. On the other hand, Germany will carry on to the semifinals to encounter Spain, who advanced after defeating Paraguay 1-0. Germany has been a pleasant surprise for a lot of World Cup wagering fanatics. This is a young squad that had a fairly unremarkable qualifying round in the run up to the World Cup odds contest in South Africa. It doesn't boast any major names as World Cup wagering competitions in the last like Ballack or Kahn. In fact, it's a fairly low key squad that seems to fly under radar, at least until it steps onto the soccer field. The German team ripped through the World Cup gambling group stage, losing a game to a amazingly good Serbian side, but grabbing 6 points and finally winning the group. And no soccer gambling buff will forget about the clinic this squad put on against the hugely preferred English team in the World Cup gambling round of 16. Through 4 games in this year's World Cup wagering, the issue that has stood out most is this team's offensive expertise. It has landed 9 goals, including two 4 goal outburst and permitted only 2 goals for an impressive differential of +7. But it's the defense that must shine, or at the very least the mid-field must manage to hold somewhat in order to win against a squad of Argentina's caliber. And that doesn't seem all that hard for Germany. Against a pretty formidable attacking English mid-field of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, the Germans all but shut them out even though Lampard did unleash a few nice shots from a distance. The Argentine assault was much different in the World Cup wagering quarterfinal competition and much more troublesome to defend. It is packed with speed (Messi, Tevez, and Higuian) and there is not a defense that keeps pace with this trio man for man. But Germany was able to firmly refuse the attempts of those 3 attackers to keep them at bay and stop any goals. Germany then had lots of chances to get shots on the Argentine goal in the counterattack. Germany has been an terrific finishing squad so far in the World Cup wagering action. It ended well once again for its chance to progress to the semifinals in the World Cup. For his part, infamous Argentina coach Diego Maradona was rather irritated and discouraged with the team's loss. Maradona, who one time played for the same squad that he coaches now, expressed his disappointment at a few of Germany's loyal fanatics by snapping and shouting at them until his daughter escorted him away. He has even thinking about leaving the squad as coach, clearly taking this defeat very hard. As much as he was engaging in his antics in the course of the World Cup, it's also sad to see such a devoted squad coach so heartbroken.
