Argentina - Ta-ta

Well that's cheered me up a lot.

All that crowing in the media about how well the South American teams had done and how only 6 European teams made it to the round of 16, where three all European ties meant a maximum of 3 in the quarter finals.

The QFs have now been played and all three South American teams playing the Europeans lost to them. The only South American team to have made it to the semis did so against an African team and then only by illegally stoppng a goal with a hand right at the end.

So three Europeans in the last four.

Germany absolutely stuffed Argentina.
