Round 1:
Germany wins the first round easily by virtue of an impressive 4-0 against Portugal. Argentina’s fairly bright start against Bosnia pales in comparison.
Round 2:
Neither contender impressed. Germany struggled to a 2-2 draw with Ghana; Argentina beat unfashionable Iran with a last minute goal, and might have lost had the referee awarded Iran a justifiable penalty. Germany just about shades it on entertainment value.
Round 3:
Argentina and Nigeria play a very entertaining game, while Germany gives a solid, entirely unspectacular performance. Even a point deduction for thuggish play which the ref didn’t punish can’t prevent Argentina from taking this round.
Round 4:
Both teams struggle, neither scores in normal time. Studies show that fewer people fell into a comatose sleep during the Germany vs Algeria game. Some somniacs who shut their eyes during Argentina vs Switzerland, even if just to look away, never woke up again.
Round 5:
An uneventful but disciplined performance by Germany against highly traded France, and an uneventful but disciplined performance by Argentina against Belgium. Neither France nor Belgium turned up. Round drawn
Round 6:
Call me biased, but I think Germany just about shades it with a 7-1 against Brazil.
So, Germany win four rounds, Argentina one, with another tied.
