Day 16

52. Germany vs. England- 4-1 Germany

I have been high on Germany before it started and even I didn't see this one coming. The first goal was due to some shaky defending by England and some determination by Klose, after that it got weird. Another German goal put them up 2-0 but England would come back putting one in the back of the net off a set piece and thought they had another. Frank Lampard put one of the cross bar and it went in then out, the assistant referee didn't have a good angle and didn't give a goal. After that it was over. England had some chances, but got hit on the break twice by some great passing on the counter attack by Germany. It ends a poor World Cup for the Brits and they will hear about it back home.

53. Argentina vs. Mexico- 3-1 Argentina

As for the picks go I am 4 for 4, and so far I have correctly picked two of the scorelines, I am pretty proud of that thank you. As for the game Argentina should thank their lucky stars because their first two goals were gifts. The first by the referees who gave the goal after a blatant offsides, and the second thanks to some poor passing in defense by Mexico. They went into half with the two goal advantaged and took a third after a wonderful strike by Carlos Tevez sending them to a 3-0 lead. After that Mexico took control but it was too late. They did create some chances, but after putting on in the back of the net they had a few denied bysome good defending at the goal line. As for Argentina they will meet Germany, and if they want to advance their goalie needs wake up it seemed like he was slow on everything and could have let in a few more goals it was surprising.
