The German team has won wide praise from the country for its continuous victory over powerful teams such as England and Argentina.

"Kicker" commented: Like four years ago, the German team entered the semi-finals again. After a perfect start, the players of Loew resisted the pressure of Argentina well and effectively gave a counterattack in the second half. The German team took away the light on Argentina's head.

After the game, the picture newspaper praised Germany's performance in this game with the title "God-like Germany": This is really crazy! 4-0 we sent the favorite Argentina team home!

4-0! In Cape Town, we can't see Messi and Argentina at all, only German players' fantasy football. Maradona's hand of god is no longer there, and the German team makes Argentina lose its glory!

Sports Pictures commented on the game with the title "Germany destroys Argentina!", and the article read: The German team's four-star journey continues! Muller, Klose and Friedrich brought the German team into the semi-finals. The German team is looking forward to the first world champion trophy born in the 1990s.

Frankfurter's report commented: 4-0! Germany defeated Argentina. What kind of result is this! Germany entered the semi-finals of the World Cup with its head held high, and Germany continued its outstanding performance against England. Now we are only two games away from winning. The German team overshadowed Maradona and Messi, and the victory was perfect!

Spiegel Weekly commented: The German team relies on their outstanding performance to dismember the Argentine team! Löw led his disciples to sweep the Argentine team out.

Le Monde commented: The German team relied on perfect performance to sweep Argentina out, and the German tank was advancing towards the fourth world championship trophy. It was able to send Argentina, the favorite to win the championship, back home in this way. German fans can already start dreaming of the championship trophy.

After the game, São Deutsche commented on the game with the title "Germany - a dream country": the German team relied on perfect tactical arrangements to make Argentina lose the team miserably.

Maradona's disappointment is understandable, because this time Argentina not only lost the game, but was completely humiliated by the German team! After England, the German team sent a favorite to win the championship home again.

Marca took the opportunity to compare Messi and Don Jue: Catalans have always believed that Messi is the best, but in recent seasons, Don has suppressed him in various competitions, from La Liga to the Champions League. In the World Cup, Don is still strong, and Messi...

Eight goals helped the team reach the semi-finals. Don is the guarantee for the French team to move forward. What did Messi do? After five games, there was no goal. Last night's critical quarterfinals, where was he when Argentina needed him?

Also being surrounded by the opponent, Tang scored two goals, especially the final kill at the last moment, which was heart-wrenching. However, Messi disappeared from people's sight.

Great players need to prove themselves in great games, Don did it. And Messi’s road is still long!

...

With their stable performance, the Germans have always been the favorites to win the championship. After defeating England and Argentina in succession, they replaced France and became the biggest favorites to win the championship.

Compared with the German-Arabic battle, Spain and Paraguay's game have a much less attention. Because Spain has the upper hand in terms of fame, strength, experience, and the record in the past two years.

The only thing that makes people worry is whether Spain will not be able to perform at its level in the competition as before.

On the evening of July 3, the last quarter-finals will be held at the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg. Spain stopped in the quarter-finals four times before and won the fourth place in history in 1950, but the semi-finals were not set at the time, but the ranking was decided through the group stage of the four teams.

Paraguay was shortlisted for the quarterfinals for the first time, and lost to European teams in the previous three knockout matches. Paraguay scored only three goals in this year, and it was the quarterfinals with the least goals on the road since England's team in 1990, and the forward players were even more unsuccessful.

The two teams had previously met three times, and both tied 0-0 in the 2002 Warm-up match and the 1998 World Cup group stage. In the 2002 Korean and Japanese World Cup group stage, Spain won 3-1.

Since losing to Brazil 0-1 in 1986, Spain has remained unbeaten against South American teams in the World Cup. In this quarter-final, Brazil and Argentina, the traditional two South American teams, were eliminated by European teams. Paraguay is the last hope of American teams.

Before the game, several American media encouraged Paraguay to defeat Spain and retain American football hope!

The match started on time at 8:30 p.m. on July 3.

Paraguay launched an attack at the beginning. In the 48th second, Morel threw a sideline ball into the left, Cardoso headed the ball, Barreto made a straight pass from the middle, and Santana shot low from seventeen meters in front of the goal!

A white light shines!

What a Casillas saved the ball hard and rushed down!

Then, with its strong midfield strength, Spain firmly controlled the football at its feet. In the seventh minute, Villa made a comeback and Alonso shot 25 meters in front of the goal. The football hit the defender and missed the right post.

Spain's offense seemed careless, and they kept looking for opportunities to score through passes, while Paraguay could only threaten the opponent's goal by counterattacking.

Paraguay created a dangerous situation in the 35th minute. Morel made a long pass from the left arc, and Santana flew eight meters away from the back point and almost reached the top!

One minute later, Spain returned with a color, Xavi passed the ball in the middle, and Villa's long shot from the left missed the near post.

Although Spain firmly controlled the game, due to their lack of scoring, both sides ended the first half with zero to zero. After fifteen minutes of rest, both sides changed sides and fought again.

At the beginning of the second half, Paraguay launched a crazy attack on Spain. In the 57th minute, Barreto took a corner kick from the left, Cardoso ran to the back point to meet the landing point, but Pique grabbed his arm and fell to the ground. The referee Barrez decisively pointed at the penalty point!

Penalty!

Paraguay's offense paid off. Paraguay's fans gave huge cheers, while Spanish fans were cold. They could only pin their hopes on Casillas.

Sarah Caponero on the sidelines looked at her boyfriend nervously, praying in her heart, so that good luck would come to him.

Cardoso came to the penalty spot with a football in his arms, and he wanted to take the penalty. Oscar Cardoso was born in 1983 and now plays for the Portuguese Super League team Benfica. He is 1.94 meters tall, and his foot skills and heading skills are excellent. He maintains a very high goal rate in the Portuguese Super League.

Penalty shots are an honor and are also under tremendous pressure. With the referee's whistle, Oscar Cardoso jogged a few steps and kicked the football with one kick.

The air on the court became tense!

Spanish fans hope Casillas can save the penalty. Paraguay fans hope Oscar Cardoso can help the team lead.

The football flew to the lower right corner!

Casillas jumped in front of fans all over the world and held the football firmly in his arms!

Keep it!

Happiness came so suddenly, and Spanish fans cheered loudly. Sarah Caponero shouted and screamed excitedly.

Keep it?

Hope is broken. Paraguay fans sighed loudly. Paraguay coach Martino shook his head in pain.

So the stadium was intertwined with cheers and sighs.

Casillas did not cheer on the spot after saving the ball. Instead, he immediately threw the football out, and Spain launched a quick counterattack. As the captain of Real Madrid, he knew the importance of a quick counterattack. Because Real Madrid often defeated their opponents through quick counterattacks.

Iniesta was knocked down by Victor Cáceres on the left and took a free kick. Alonso made a precise pass from the middle line. Villa broke into the penalty area and tripped by Alcalas behind him!

"Beep!..." The referee whistled and pointed at the penalty spot!

Penalty!

Another penalty!

At this time, it was only thirty-nine seconds after Casillas saved the penalty!

In less than a minute, both sides won a penalty kick, which made the history of the World Cup. The air on the court began to tense again.

Alonso stood behind the football, and the Real Madrid star was going to take the penalty.

"Beep!..." After a whistle, Alonso made it overnight!

While Spanish fans were cheering, the referee's whistle sounded, and he signaled that the goal was invalid and he wanted to re-execute, because he believed that other Spanish players entered the penalty area in advance.

Alonso had to stand behind the football again and take the penalty again. Obviously, the pressure of heavy punishment was huge. Alonso was affected and the ball he kicked was blocked by Villar!

There was a huge cheer from the stadium, which was issued by Paraguay fans.

There was a sigh in the cheers, which was made by Spanish fans.

But the game continued, Villar saved the football, but the football did not roll out of the court. Fabregas followed on the right to prepare for a shot and was knocked down by Villar, but the referee Bartres did not say anything!

Ramos has fast eyes and fast feet, and he has a quick shot!

The football was blocked by Paraguay and caught back to the defender in front of the goal line and went out of the baseline!

Villa lost a penalty in Honduras. After Spain became South Korea in 2002, it was another team that missed two penalty kicks in a single World Cup. Two penalty kicks in a single World Cup were only once, which dated back to the first group stage in 1930 Argentina vs. Mexico.

Espn shouted: "It was a dramatic game, and in less than a minute both teams received penalty kicks, but neither team made the penalty!"

The two sides continued to fight fiercely, and the atmosphere on the court was extremely tense. Fans wanted to shout to relieve their tension, and the players kept encouraging each other.

In the 63rd minute, Iniesta broke into the left side of the penalty area and shot the far corner by Villar.

In the 70th minute, Capdevila knocked back from the left, and Iniesta pushed his left foot and shot and shot him away from 18 meters in front of the goal.

In the 75th minute, Xavi pushed the ball from the edge of the penalty area and missed the left post.

Some people say that Spain's pass is a lullaby. When you think he will continue to pass horizontally and back, he is likely to suddenly pass a diagonally, penetrate the defense line, and then insert it in the back row to solve the problem with one kick. This style comes from Barcelona, ​​because most of the players in Spain's midfield and frontcourt come from Barcelona.

In the 83rd minute, Spain suddenly accelerated the offensive rhythm. Iniesta broke through in the middle and passed the ball with his right foot outside the instep. Pedro pushed his right foot at 11 meters away from the goal on the right and shot the left post and bounced back into the field!

Villa, who was quick to react, stopped the ball eight meters in front of the goal and hit the inside of the right goal post, and then bounced into the other post!

The ball has entered!

The score became one to zero!

Spain broke the deadlock and saw the dawn of victory. Huge cheers sounded from the stadium, and the land of Spain had long turned into a sea of ​​joy. Paraguay, thousands of miles away, fell into a deadly silence.

Behind the score, Paraguay launched a crazy counterattack, and the competition between the two sides became fierce. The Lion King Puyol was injured and had to end early.

In the 89th minute, Riveros made a pass with his left foot in the midfield to counterattack. Barrios broke into the penalty area and shot with his right foot thirteen meters away from the goal, blocked by Casillas!

The alert Santa Cruz pushed his right foot ten meters in front of the goal, and the magical Casillas blocked the football with his right leg!

The game was tragic. Ramos was injured in the head in stoppage time. He returned to the court after a simple bandage and won applause.

With the referee's whistle, the game ended, Spain defeated Uruguay 1-0, and advanced to the semi-finals for the second time in history.

At this point, the four teams in the semi-finals were won by European teams. The dispute between Europe and the Americas came to an end, and European teams took the upper hand. Some people jokingly said that the World Cup has become the European Cup! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
