They looked good after the first two games, winning 4-0 and 6-0; but in 
retrospect, these games said more about the opposition's weakness (Ivory 
Coast and Serbia) than Argentina's strength. Once Argentina started 
playing better teams, they looked a lot less impressive: 0-0 against the 
Dutch, 2-1 over Mexico, and then this loss to Germany. Argentina is 
good, but apparently not that good.

I too expect Germany to win now. As this was my pre-tournament pick, at 
least I will not finish in a totally embarassing position in the office 
pool (at a certain point I was dead last, now it looks like I will 
finish somewhere in the middle).
