ARG vs. GER, 3-1

The last time Argentina met Germany, they were trounced 0-4 in the 2010 World Cup. Today, with several of Germany's top players including Neuer, Gomez, and Schweinsteiger off the call sheet, they had a chance to even the score.

Match recap )

P.S. Now Spain is playing Puerto Rico. Perhaps to level the playing field, about half of the Spaniards appear to be assigned to a totally different position. (It's hard to know since ESPN isn't providing any audio.) Let's see how well Xabi does as a striker and Torres does in defense!
