Only some superb goalkeeping and the woodwork have kept him from finding the back of the net, as he has had most of his shots on target (11). He invigorates this Argentine side, creates opportunities from heaps of dust, his first touch, his agility; his delivery is all of the highest quality. Moreover, he is a great team player; he has not shown his frustration for not finding the goal and has unselfishly carved chances for Higuain and Tevez.Mesut Oezil: Before the World Cup, he was anonymous and now is on the verge of becoming a household name. The talented playmaker galvanizes the German side and has enthralled with his trickery in this tournament so far. Gifted with loads of talent, he is a sharp and shrewd player, times his runs into the box to perfection, his decision making at such a young age is astounding and has all the potential to become a world-class player.Probable Lineups:Argentina: (4-2-4) Romero (GK), Heinze, Burdisso, Demichelis,Otamendi, Mascherano, Di Maria, Messi, Rodriguez, Higuain, Tevez,Maradona is likely to stick with his same playing eleven. Demichelis and Burdisso would be the centre-backs and will have to be on their toes to keep Klose quiet. Mascherano will have a vital role to play in this game. Though he does not get much of the lime-light he is as important to Argentina as Messi. He needs to win those second balls and break Germany's slick passing, otherwise the Germans could well run away with this. Messi would be the playmaker with Tevez and Higuain as strikers.Germany: (4-2-3-1) Neuer(GK), Lahm, Freidrich, Mertesacker, Boateng, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Oezil, Mueller, Podolski, KloseJoachim Leow could very well name an unchanged side. They have quality all over the park. Klose up front will be a potent threat all day long. Oezil, Mueller and Podolski will interchange their positions pass the ball very well among them, make late runs and the trio promises so much. Schweinsteiger and Khedira will spray passes all over the pitch, diagonal balls to their wide players and also Lahm who loves to burst forward. Freidrich and Mertesacker will be at the heart of defence.Predictions:Argentina has more individual quality and match-winners than the Germans. Messi could single-handedly tear the German defence apart. Germany on the other hand fair better as a team. On the ball, we think that both teams are superb but this game may well be determined by what the teams do when they are not in possession. Here, we think the Germans have a slight advantage as their young side if full of energy and enthusiasm. Germany will also pose a severe aerial threat with most of their players above 6 feet so the Argentines will have to be more alert and aware on set-piece situations. It's a game where we expect a lot of sparks, attacking intent and goals galore. The most important element will be which team holds its nerves and handle pressure better in this huge game and Germany after beating their traditional rivals England will be better prepared for it. We fancy each side to get on the score-sheet but we believe Germany will shade it 3-2.Spain vs Paraguay<img src="http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/1671/spainr.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> vs <img src="http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/7175/paraguay.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The last quarter final match in the 2010 FIFA World Cup on Saturday 3 July 2010 sees South America versus Europe as Paraguay take on early favourites and current European champions Spain at Ellis Park in Johannesburg.Paraguay So Far in the FIFA World CupParaguay became the first team in this World Cup to win a penalty shoot-out when they beat Japan 5-3 on spot kicks after the two teams played out a dull goalless draw after extra time.Paraguay topped their group after opening the campaign with a 1-1 draw against world champions Italy. Antolin Alcaraz put Paraguay one up just before the break but Italy equalised on the hour mark.Life was more comfortable for Paraguay in the second match when they cruised to a comfortable win over Slovakia, with goals from Enrique Vera and Cristian Riveros doing the damage.They finished the group stages with a turgid goalless draw against New Zealand, who ended up drawing all three games and finished the tournament without a defeat.Spain So Far in the FIFA World CupSpain advanced to the quarter finals thanks to a 1-0 win over local neighbours Portugal in the Round of 16. As expected, it was a tight game but Portugal lacked the flair that they’d shown in their 7-0 drubbing of North Korea and star player Cristiano Ronaldo hardly got a look in. The same cannot be said for Spain’s David Villa who created a number of chances and scored the only goal of the game just after the hour mark.Spain started this tournament favourites but that soon went out of the window when a poor performance saw them lose the opening match 1-0 to Switzerland.They recovered their form in the second match when they strolled past the group’s weakest link Honduras 2-0 thanks to a brace from David Villa.David Villa was again on the score sheet in the 2-1 win over Chile, Andres Iniesta grabbing the second.Football Betting Odds For Paraguay vs SpainFootball betting tips: The bookmakers have put Spain odd-on favourites to win this game with 1/2 or 4/9 being the most popular odds, though one bookmaker has opted for the bizarre 18/35. It is worth shopping around for a bet on Paraguay to win in ninety minutes as odds range from 5/1 to 7/1. For the draw, many have gone for 3/1 and that’s the best available.</blockquote>
