Argentina 0-4 Germany – Highlights Video

Germany stormed into the World Cup semi-finals as they swept aside Argentina 4-0 at the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town.

Germany made a lightning start as Thomas Mueller headed home a Bastian Schweinsteiger free-kick inside three minutes and Miroslav Klose added a second-half brace either side of Arne Friedrich’s first international goal.

Joachim Loew’s side will now be clear favourites for a fourth World Cup title after following up their 4-1 demolition of England with an even more impressive performance against Diego Maradona’s outclassed side.

Mueller scored the quickest goal of the World Cup so far after two minutes and 40 seconds to give Germany a dream start.
