Ze Germans Advance.

Podolski Pounds in Ze Germans 1st goal and follows up 7 mins later with a 2nd sending them thru to the quarterfinals and the swedes back to scandi land.

So the home team is looking strong now. Can they push thru their next opponent, likely to be, Argentina? Hmmm interesting matchup as the Argies have looked at times quite convincing. Though, I must admit I'm still looking for a Spicy Mexican upset of the argies followed up by a beat down of the Germans. (Well a girl's gotta have dreams :P )
