World Cup: Match 59 - Germany vs. Argentina

Anyone familiar with formal logic?
Germany have scored 2 goals -> Germany will score 2 more

Germany made Argentina look like they were standing still in the first 3 minutes...and then they made them pay for it. Schweinsteiger curled in a sublime cross on a free kick and Mueller beat his defender to the ball to nudge it just past the Argentine keeper. At this point, Argentina looked completely outclassed...and completely screwed.

But they rallied, keeping the majority of possession throughout the half. Unfortunately, their team comprised 1 goalie, 4 defenders, and 6 forwards. The lack of midfielders--of good passers--became more and more apparent throughout the game. Only Messi displayed the ability to put player's through, but his best effort--which produced a goal--was correctly called offsides. The height of the Germans made an aerial goal improbable, and the solidarity and compactness of the German defense made it hard for Messi to dribble through them. The Argentinian waves were crashing on an impenetrable German fortress.

Then, in the 68th minute, on a very, very patient passing play, Mueller fell down. It doesn't sound like the start of a great play, but it stopped/confused the Argentinians and when Mueller--lying on the ground--kicked a through ball to Podolski, Argentina was caught off guard completely. Podolski threaded it perfectly to Klose, who bobbled it in front of an open goal and touched it in for his 13th World Cup goal.

Now, Argentina were really in a bad spot, because this German team really knows how to punish a team that's clawing at a 2-nil deficit. Schweinsteiger showed his class and leadership when he dove into the box on a Messi-like dribble, penetrated easily to the goal line and notched it back quite comfortably to an open teammate, who passed it into the net. Argentina were completely unraveled. Finally, in the 89th minute, Germany got a 3-on-3 breakaway. Podolski passed it off just wide to Oezil, who on the run and with only on touch chipped it over the defense to Klose. Klose made it look easy with a clinical finish with the inside of his foot. That's 14 for Klose in the World Cup. He has tied Gerd Mueller's #2 record and is just one away from tying Ronaldo's #1 all-time World Cup goal scoring record of 15. If he gets two more...he retakes the title for Germany.
