Germany defeated the liked Argentina in a minor upset in their quarterfinals game on Saturday in soccer betting. The final score of 4-0 was largely considering of a very aggressive Argentina offense vs a very patient German defense. Argentina now follows Brazil, the other highly liked South American squad at the online sportsbook, from the competition. Meanwhile, Germany will continue on to the semifinals to encounter Spain, who progressed after defeating Paraguay 1-0. Germany has been a pleasant surprise for several World Cup gambling devotees. This is a young squad that had a fairly unremarkable qualifying round in the run up to the World Cup odds competition in South Africa. It doesn't boast any major names like Ballack or Kahn as World Cup gambling tourneys in the past. 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 side sailed through the World Cup gambling group stage, dropping a game to a remarkably excellent Serbian side, but grabbing 6 points and finally winning the group. And no soccer gambling lover will forget about the clinic this squad put on vs the highly liked English side in the World Cup gambling round of 16. Through 4 competitions in this year's World Cup gambling, the point that has stood out most is this team's offensive ability. It's won 9 goals, including two 4 goal outburst and allowed just 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 manage to hold a little in order to win vs a squad of Argentina's caliber. And for Germany, that doesn't seem all that difficult. the Germans just about shut them out vs a very 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 gambling quarterfinal game and much more troublesome to defend. It is packed with speed (Messi, Tevez, and Higuian) and there isn't a defense that keeps up with this threesome man for man. But Germany was able to firmly reject the attempts of those three attackers to keep them at bay and stop any goals. Germany then had plenty of chances to get shots on the Argentine goal in the counterattack. Thus far in the World Cup gambling event, Germany has been an excellent finishing squad. It finished well once again for its prospect to progress to the semifinals in the World Cup. Infamous Argentina coach Diego Maradona, for his part, was quite irritated and frustrated with the team's loss. Maradona, who once played for the same squad that he coaches now, expressed his disappointment at a few of Germany's loyal devotees by snapping and shouting at them until his daughter escorted him away. He has taken this defeat extremely hard, even considering leaving the squad as coach. It is sad to see such a devoted team coach so heartbroken, as much as he was enjoyable in his antics during the World Cup. Poker Host offers free online poker games and an initial sign-up bonus.
