Germany Advances

Germany beats Argentina 4-2 PSO
2006 World Cup hosts, Germany, beat a tough Argentinian team to advance to the semi-finals. Argentina were among the favorites to win it all, but thanks to a game- tying goal by Germany's Miroslav Klose in the 89th minute, Germany held on and prevailed in the deciding penalty shoot-out.

Klose is a leading candidate for the Golden Shoe, which is awarded to the leading goalscorer in the tournament. This is the second consecutive World Cup he has scored at least 5 goals.

Germany's semi-final opponent will be Italy, who defeated Ukraine 3-0 earlier today.
