Argentina 0-4 Germany

Germany tore Argentina apart to book their place in the semi-finals and, for now at least, end Diego Maradona's dream of winning the World Cup as coach to go with his victory as captain in 1986.

Inspired by Bastian Schweinsteiger and two-goal hero Miroslav Klose, Joachim Loew's side scored four times for the third game at this tournament in what was a devastating attacking display.

Klose found the net only three times in the Bundesliga all season in a miserable campaign for Bayern Munich but he has now beaten that tally at this tournament, as well as moving to within a goal of Ronaldo, who with 15 goals, is the all-time highest scorer at World Cup finals.

After Thomas Mueller's early header, Germany coped with everything Argentina could throw at them before finishing off Maradona's men with a lethal late burst.

Following Brazil's self-destruction against the Dutch on Friday, Germany became the latest European team to see off a highly fancied South American side, and they move into the last four looking in good shape to become world champions for the first time since 1990.

At times this win was reminiscent of the way Germany had ripped through England's backline in the second round a week ago, with Argentina caught out by their speed and incisiveness on the counter-attack as they chased the game.

The only cloud on Germany's horizon is that the impressive Mueller picked up a booking that means he will miss the last-four clash with Paraguay or Spain, but Loew still has much to savour from this match.

Mueller opened the scoring after only three minutes when Schweinsteiger swung in a free-kick from the left and he escaped the Argentina defence to beat Sergio Romero with a downward header that the keeper got a leg to but could not keep out.

Klose, who also won his 100th cap for Germany, should have made it 2-0 when Mueller broke into the area down the right and squared for him in front of goal. But he fired wastefully over, not that it appeared to matter much at that point.

With Lionel Messi finding it difficult to impose himself on the game thanks to the close attention of Schweinsteiger, Argentina's response was largely limited to shots from distance.

They did improve as half-time approached and Angel Di Maria and Gonzalo Higuain both forced Manuel Neuer into low saves, but Germany continued to threaten on the break.

Only after the interval did Argentina manage a spell of sustained pressure, and they threatened almost immediately when Di Maria let fly from outside the box and saw the ball fizz narrowly wide.

For a good 20 minutes, Maradona's men dominated possession and Carlos Tevez had a shot blocked superbly blocked by Per Mertesacker while Germany keeper Neuer was kept busy as shots peppered his goal.

But, after wave after wave of Argentina attacks had been frustrated, Loew's side hit back with a lethal sucker-punch to seal victory with two near-identical goals in quick succession.

First, Podolski burst into the box down the left and squared to give Klose the easiest of tap-ins to make it 2-0, with the striker walking the ball over the line.

Then, with Argentina still rocking, Schweinsteiger weaved his way down the same flank and crossed for Arne Freidrich to bundle the ball in at the near post.

The game was up for the South American side, and neither the jaded Messi on the pitch nor Maradona off it could lift them for any sort of belated response.

Fittingly, the final word went to Klose, who volleyed home Germany's fourth from Mesut Oezil's cross in the last minute - his 14th World Cup goal - after the imperious Schweinsteiger had brought the ball forward again.bbc online.

Anelka back in London after World Cup expulsion

Mon, Jun 21st, 2010 2:38 pm BdST
London, June 21 (bdnews24.com/AFP) – France's star striker Nicolas Anelka arrived back in London Monday, an AFP photographer said, after being sent home from the World Cup following a foul-mouthed rant at coach Raymond Domenech.

Anelka, who plays for English Premier League champions Chelsea, arrived back at London's Heathrow airport after flying back from the tournament in South Africa.

His departure has prompted mutiny within the French squad, with players refusing to train Sunday and issuing a statement saying they were opposed to the decision after details of the bust-up were published in sports daily L'Equipe.

"We regret the incident at half-time of the France v Mexico match, but we regret even more the divulging of an event which was only the squad's business and was part and parcel of the life of a top-level team," the players said.

Spain confident defeat will spark reaction

South Africa, June 20 (bdnews24.com/Reuters) - Spain are optimistic that a shock 1-0 defeat by Switzerland in their Group H opener will stun the European champions into action for their second match against Honduras on Monday.

"The loss helps to show you that there are no easy matches, that every team at a World Cup will make it hard for you," defender Raul Albiol told a news conference on Saturday.

"The favourites are not winning," he added, in reference to defeats for France and Germany against Mexico and Serbia respectively and England's surprise draw with unfancied Algeria.

"If you look at past World Cups, we have often seen teams that start off losing go on to win the final."

Coach Vicente del Bosque was criticised by his predecessor Luis Aragones, among others, for fielding a cautious 4-5-1 formation against the Swiss.

He may switch to a more ambitious 4-4-2 lineup on Monday, with fit-again Fernando Torres partnering strike partner David Villa up front.

Spain dominated possession against the Swiss but failed to take their chances and suffered only their second defeat in 3-1/2 years following a 2-0 loss to the United States at the Confederations Cup in South Africa last June.

That defeat deprived them of a place in the final against Brazil but if they finish second in Group H they could play the five-times champions in the last 16.

MINIMAL CHANGES

Del Bosque, who is not known for making sweeping tactical changes, told As newspaper on Saturday if there were alterations to the starting 11 against Honduras they would be minimal.

"We have to reestablish ourselves, gain confidence and believe in what has given us so much success in the past," the 59-year-old said.

"We expect (Honduras) to close ranks but, on the other hand, they have to open up at some point and those spaces are what we have to take advantage of," he added.

"This team has had fabulous runs of form and now we are going for six wins. This is the message I have been sending to the players. There is no point in looking back only forwards."

"The positive side of this setback is that it's better to fail at the start than at the end," he added.

He may have been thinking of the 2006 World Cup in Germany when Spain won all three of their group matches, including a 4-0 thrashing of Ukraine in their first game, before losing to eventual runners-up France in the second round.

Honduras coach Reinaldo Rueda expects the wounded Spanish to come out fighting but said if his players work together they can cause another upset that would leave Spain's hopes of winning a first World Cup in tatters.

"These games (the Switzerland defeat) happen, just like they lost to the United States a year ago," Rueda said on Friday.

"They're the strongest squad in the world but we don't fear any one player," he added.

"Collectively they are strong but if we work together we can overcome them. If we don't think we can win we may as well not play."

World Cup 2010: Portugal thrash North Korea 7-0

Cape Town, June 21 (bdnews24.com/AFP) – Portugal thrashed North Korea 7-0 in their World Cup Group G match to end the Koreans hopes of reaching the second round.

Goals by Raul Meireles, Simao, Tiago - who got a double - Hugo Almeida, Liedson and Cristiano Ronaldo, his first international goal for nearly two years, gave the Portuguese a huge boost in their quest for reaching the last 16.

Ivory Coast - who have a point from their first two matches - must beat North Korea by a large margin on Friday and hope already qualified five-time champions Brazil inflict a heavy defeat on the Portuguese.

World Cup 2010: Olsen unhappy with Denmark performance

Denmark coach Morten Olsen says his team must rid their game of the errors which blighted their entertaining 2-1 victory over Cameroon in Pretoria.

Samuel Eto'o gave Cameroon the lead after a bad Christian Poulsen error but Nicklas Bendtner and Dennis Rommedahl goals gave Denmark a vital victory.

"We made too many elementary mistakes and I can't allow that," said Olsen.

"We must correct that. I wasn't happy but they fought heroically. Some didn't play well but they fought."

Olsen said a lack of match fitness from some his key players was to blame for a performance marred by losses in concentration and elementary errors,. bbc online.

"We had Nicklas Bendtner, Jon Dahl Tomasson and Daniel Jensen on the pitch, and those players haven't played much," he said.

"But that's the way it is, that's why we had to fight so much. We had nothing more to offer.

"We have too many players who are injured or have been injured so in that respect it was a heroic physical effort, but if we want to progress in this tournament we have a lot to work on. We know that very well."

Olsen did take his team's will to win as a positive from one of the most entertaining games of the tournament so far.

"We actually didn't start very well, we had one good chance through Rommedahl and just after that we made an individual mistake and they scored," he said.

"But we showed spirit, we got back in the game, we showed that we wanted to win.

"We showed things that we don't want to do again, that's for sure, that we need to talk to the players about over the next couple of days.

"But we did have a number of chances. Compared to the game with Holland there were more chances.

World Cup 2010: Le Guen vows to stay as Cameroon coach

Cameroon coach Paul Le Guen vowed to stay on despite his side becoming the first to be knocked out of the 2010 World Cup after a 2-1 loss to Denmark.

"I will not resign," said former Lyon boss Le Guen. "I don't have any regrets and that's not how I operate."

Cameroon took an early lead through Samuel Eto'o but were caught twice on the break as Nicklas Bendtner and Dennis Rommedahl scored for Denmark.

Cameroon had suffered a 1-0 defeat by Japan in their opening game.

The early World Cup exit represents a turnaround in fortunes for Le Guen, who came into the tournament as a hugely popular figure having turned around the Indomitable Lions' faltering qualification campaign.
But his tactics were widely criticised after the dismal showing against Japan and, although his changes to the team brought about a marked improvement against the Danes, Cameroon were wasteful in front of goal and too often naive at the back.

Jean Makoun was turned inside out by Rommedahl for the second goal before Achille Emana and Vincent Aboubakar missed clear-cut chances to equalise.

"It's a great disappointment, we had high hopes, but I think this match shows that we were not really effective enough," said the former Rangers boss.

"We were not able to take the big opportunities we had in the first half and it's a serious disappointment for both us and the Cameroonian nation as a whole."

Meanwhile, Eto'o described crashing out of the World Cup as the greatest disappointment of his glittering career.

"All my season was focused to be ready for this World Cup," said Eto'o, who won the Italian league, cup and Champions League with Inter Milan last season. "It's the only thing I could think about."

While Denmark now look forward to a crucial showdown with Japan, 1990 quarter-finalists Cameroon will only have pride to play for in their match against the Netherlands on Thursday.

"It's hard. It's not normal for us to finish last," said Eto'o. "But there will be other days. They played better than us in the match. It's that simple." bbc online.

Germany pay penalty after 36 yrs

Johannesburg, June 20 (bdnews24.com/AFP) -- Germany's missed World Cup penalty against Serbia helped disprove former England striker Gary Lineker's light-hearted analysis that football is a game for 22 players and in the end the Germans always win.

Fans of Germany could hardly believe their eyes after Lukas Podolski put his kick too close to Serbian keeper Vladimir Stojkovic, not least because the last time a German missed from 12 yards many fans would not have been born.

Not since the 1974 World Cup had a Germany player missed a penalty outside of a shootout.

Former Bayern Munich star Uli Hoeness was the culprit who missed against Poland.

He would also concede the penalty from which Johan Neeskens gave Holland the lead in the final before Paul Breitner levelled - from the spot - and Gerd Mueller scored the winner.

"Podolski was courageous to step up but should have left it to Bastian Schweinsteiger," said unimpressed former coach Franz Beckenbauer.

Until Podolski's mishap Hoeness had been on his own as the only German player in World Cup history to miss from the spot - his effort saved by Jan Tomaszewski, the man Brian Clough once dubbed a 'clown' - save for Uli Stielike.

Stielike missed in a shootout against France in the 1982 World Cup semi-final, but his failure has been forgotten as goalkeeper Harald Schumacher saved two to help the Germans into the final where they lost to Italy.

In 1990, Germany won the final when Andreas Brehme notched his kick against Argentina for the only goal of a disappointing final.

German accuracy has even extended to the European Championship, save for one occasion when they lost the Euro 76 final to Czechoslovakia in what was the first shoot-out at a major final.

Those with long memories will perhaps recall how Antonin Panenka chipped a cheeky winner as the Czechs won after a sole missed German kick - by Uli Hoeness.

World Cup 2010: England set to for clear-the-air talks

England manager Fabio Capello will hold a meeting with his players on Sunday to discuss Friday's 0-0 draw with Algeria.

Former captain John Terry insisted the squad would be free to air their views - and dismissed reports of discontent within England's World Cup camp.

Terry revealed: "We've got a meeting tonight to see where we went wrong.

"Everyone needs to get off their chest exactly how they're feeling. If it upsets him [Capello], or it upsets any player, then so be it."

The pressure is on England after disappointing draws against the United States and Algeria in their opening Group C matches.

Capello's men must now beat Slovenia in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday to be sure of a place in the last 16.

Newspaper reports on Sunday suggested unhappiness at Capello's style is rife among his players, and that his future could be in doubt.

Responding to those reports, Terry stressed that the squad were "fully behind" their 64-year-old Italian manager.

The Chelsea defender added: "I have seen a few reports myself. There is no unrest in the camp at all.
"I'm not going to sit here and question the manager. I'm here on behalf of all the players to say we are all fully behind him. Everyone is positive."

Capello's insistence on naming his line-up two hours before kick-off has come under scrutiny, and his man-management skills have also been questioned.

But Terry stated: "Since the manager has come in he's had his ways and his philosophies that he's brought to the side.

"That's worked in the [qualifying] campaign and nothing should change from that. We've got to stay unified.

"I've read things about people playing with fear. At any level there's a certain amount of nerves, but I can honestly say that all that's gone once we cross the white line. We can't use that as an excuse - we just haven't done it.

"We shouldn't be looking at excuses or criticising the manager. We're supporting him and know we've got his support as well, and that's the main thing.

Italy held to shock draw by New Zealand

Nelspruit, June 20 (bdnews24.com/Reuters) - World champions Italy suffered an embarrassing 1-1 draw with underdogs New Zealand in their second World Cup Group F match on Sunday, a result which complicates their chances of progressing to the knockout stage.

New Zealand, ranked 78th in the world, took a shock lead on seven minutes after struggling Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro made a hash of trying to clear a free kick into the box and Shane Smeltz poked home.

Italy had talked all week about the difficulties an unchanged New Zealand would pose from dead balls but they did not deal with the danger even if there was a slight suspicion of offside.

Coach Marcello Lippi stationed himself at the edge of his technical area with a worried look and his team increased the tempo with Riccardo Montolivo striking the post from distance before they levelled on 29 minutes.

Daniele De Rossi tumbled in the box under pressure from Tommy Smith as a cross came over and Vincenzo Iaquinta calmly slotted in the debateable spotkick.

On a bright day in northeastern South Africa, where the giraffe-shaped stadium roof supports in Nelspruit glistened in the sun, Italy pushed for a second with Montolivo's fierce shot one of a number of efforts but they never looked convincing.

The holders employed a 4-4-2 formation from the start rather than the 4-2-3-1 from Monday's 1-1 draw with Paraguay and then threw on three attacking substitutes as darkness fell but New Zealand dealt with the threat reasonably comfortably.

Italy, who wore black armbands following the death of 1968 European Championship winner Roberto Rosato, meet Slovakia in their final group game on Thursday at Johannesburg's Ellis Park needing a handsome win to definitely progress. Paraguay, New Zealand's next opponents on Thursday, beat Slovakia 2-0 earlier to top the group with four points while Italy and New Zealand have two.

bdnews24.com/pks/2213h

World Cup Result: Slovakia 0-2 Paraguay

Paraguay took a big step towards a place in the last 16 with a stylish victory over a sluggish Slovakia that lifted them to the top of Group F.

A fine goal by Enrique Vera, curled in with the outside of his boot, gave the South Americans the lead and Carlos Riveros made the game safe with a brilliant late strike.

With a final group match against unfancied New Zealand to come, they must now be confident of reaching the knockout stages.

For Slovakia, their inability to raise their game has left them facing an early exit - particularly as they end their group fixtures against reigning champions Italy.

Two draws in the opening matches had left the group finely poised and Paraguay took the chance to assume control by deservedly clinching their first win.

It was achieved by a textbook execution of a high-pressing game and by maximising the attacking options from their 4-3-3 formation.

The interchanges between the frontline of Vera, Barrios and Roque Santa Cruz - particularly in the first half - caused Slovakia all manner of problems.

And once again in this World Cup, it was a case of the latin brand of short, sharp passing and excellent movement dominating the more rigid European style.

For the first half an hour, Paraguay attacked at will - a deflected Santa Cruz shot brought a fine save from Jan Mucha, Paulo da Silva was inches away from a teasing cross and Cristian Riveros fired in a low shot from outside the box.

Exquisite interplay between Vera and Barrios saw the latter shoot just over before Valdez also fizzed an effort too high.

The breakthrough came on 27 minutes when a sublime Barrios pass split the defence and Vera curled the ball into the corner of the goal with the outside of the boot.

Only then did Slovakia stir and finally created a chance when a corner found Kornel Salata unmarked but he headed over the bar.

Paraguay immediately hit back and almost doubled their advantage after sloppy Slovakian defending let in Santa Cruz, whose low shot was kept out by the foot of keeper Mucha.

After the break, the Paraguayans appeared to play within themselves - sometimes a dangerous policy with such a slender lead to defend.

But Slovakia's lack of invention, flair and creativity was apparent as still they failed to exert any sustained pressure, a Stanislav Sestak cross that evaded Robert Vittek summing up the ineffectiveness of their play.

By contrast, when Paraguay broke from their policy of containment, they came within inches of extending their lead as Santa Cruz delivered an accurate centre and Vera sent his downward header narrowly past the upright.

Much had been expected of Slovakia playmaker Marek Hamsik but the Napoli man was desperately disappointing throughout and he was unable to inspire his team-mates.

Hamsik and his side were unable to find any cohesion and they were finally put out of their misery when Riveros smashed in a fierce drive from the edge of the box.

And while Paraguay have virtually secured their passage out of the group - they need only a point from their final match against New Zealand - Slovakia's failure to get out of first gear has put them on the brink of elimination.bbc online.

Netherlands 1-0 Japan

The Netherlands put themselves on the brink of qualification for the last 16 with a hard-fought victory in Durban over an impressively stubborn Japan side.

Wesley Sneijder's powerful 52nd-minute winner from just outside the box settled a fascinating Group E contest between two contrasting sides who opened up in the second half and were creating good chances right up to the final whistle.

The Dutch will qualify for the knockout stages before their final group game if Cameroon fail to beat Denmark later on Saturday, and are still likely to go through regardless.

Japan came into the match off the back of their first World Cup win on foreign soil after beating Cameroon 1-0 on Monday.

And the afterglow of that historic achievement was evident in the admirable tactical nous they executed in the first half as they stifled the Netherlands' search for fluid creativity with regimental efficiency in front of a near-full Moses Mabhida Stadium.

The Dutch, who are now unbeaten in 21 matches, started like a team full of quiet confidence as they kept possession well and used the width of Dirk Kuyt on the right and Rafael van der Vaart on the left.

Inter Milan midfielder Sneijder had the first clear chance but, on this occasion, could not keep his long-range shot, from a free-kick, down - a common sight in South Africa as players struggle to tame the much-criticised Jabulani ball.

When they did break up the Netherlands' passing, Grenoble midfielder Daisuke Matsui looked bright for Japan - instigating an incisive move that eventually resulted in Yuto Nagatomo hitting a stinging shot just wide.

The Asian side slowly began to frustrate the Dutch, who struggled to bring striker Robin van Persie into the game and lacked a killer pass.

And by the end of the first half Japan had relative control, with towering Brazilian-born defender Tulio heading just wide before Matsui lashed a decent volley straight at goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

But the Netherlands - who have never won the World Cup, despite a rich pedigree of world-class footballers - took the second half by the scruff of the neck, with Van Persie breaking free on a couple of occasions.

After a period of concerted pressure as the ball ricocheted around the box in the 52nd minute, the Arsenal striker managed to nudge it into the path of Sneijder.

Loitering just outside the penalty area, the Inter Milan star lashed a powerful right-foot shot towards goal that keeper Eiji Kawashima could only deflect into the net when he was well placed to make an effective save.

That moment liberated both teams and no longer could containment tactics be the limit of Japan's ambitions.

They responded in kind, Van Persie finding himself hooking a dangerous cross from substitute Shunsuke Nakamura over his own crossbar from within the six-yard box.

Hamburg's Eljero Elia came on as a substitute for Van der Vaart and nearly recreated the impression he had from the bench in the Netherlands' first match, cleverly releasing Ibrahim Allelay for a one on one, although his fellow substitute could not add a second with seven minutes remaining as Kawashima smothered his attempt.

Japan had the best chance to level the score one minute from time but unmarked substitute Shinji Okazaki fired over from 10 yards.

Seconds later, referee Hector Baldassi waved away penalty claims as Yuto Nagatomo went down under a challenge from Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong and the Dutch clung on to achieve maximum points from their opening two fixtures. bbc online.
