Football: Penalty kings Germany taking nothing for granted
ERASMIA, South Africa: Germany are the uncrowned kings of World Cup penalty shoot-outs, but coach Joachim Loew is taking nothing for granted ahead of Saturday's quarter-final against Argentina.
Germany beat Argentina 4-2 in a penalty shoot-out four years ago when spot-kicks decided their quarter-final clash at Berlin's Olympic Stadium at the last World Cup as the hosts finished third.
Ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was the hero of the hour then as he saved penalties by Roberto Ayala and Esteban Cambiasso after theatrically reading a briefing note just before the spot-kicks to put off the pair.
"Four years ago, we relied on a piece of paper against Argentina, this time we would need a catalogue," joked Loew in reference to the amount of talented penalty-takers Argentina have.
"This time, Argentina have so many safe shooters in their ranks, that we can't get by with just a note."
Germany are the only side who have never lost a penalty shoot-out at World Cup finals and have won all four of the dreaded spot-kick deciders they have faced since the first in 1982.
Schalke 04 goalkeeper Manuel Neuer could well be Germany's star on Saturday, but the confident 24-year-old said he will put his faith in those around him.
"I will rely on the advice of (goalkeeping coach) Andreas Koepke," he said.
Striker Lukas Podolski is the only survivor from the four players who successfully converted penalties in the quarter-final four years ago and Loew has already put his side through some penalty practice.
"Everyone took two penalties," said Loew, without revealing the results.
"The stress and tension in the stadium during the match is completely different.
"There is a different pressure in a stadium packed full of spectators
"You can't really simulate a penalty shoot-out."
Loew has said he will only choose the five players who would take penalties in the event of the scores being level after 120 minutes of football just before the dreaded spot-kicks.
Podolski, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mesut Ozil, Sami Khedira and Miroslav Klose are the likely takers, but captain Philipp Lahm and rising star Thomas Mueller are also reliable penalty takers.
Germany's rising stars have been given some advice by Andreas Brehme whose penalty kick in the 1990 World Cup final sealed the 1-0 win over Argentina and gave the Germans their third World Cup title.
"You have to believe in yourself, don't think about it too much and just make it a simple kick," he told SID, an AFP subsidiary.

Same trick seldom work twice.
I don't even think the game will go to Penalty kicks. 90 minutes, Argentina will be able to settle Germany without any influence from bookies:p
So far, I think Maradona gave quite a lot of respect for this competition compared to before then.
At least he wears a suit when his team turns up for matches. His experience during his playing days seems to rub off the winning mentality on his players.

Cheers to that!
It's not the experience from his playing days.
It's more because the players adore and worship him, that's they have total respect for him and that's why there's unity.
Having said that, I think Germany will win in 90 minutes.

Well, I have nothing to lose.
If he wins, he cemented his place as a power soothsayer.
If I win, I will take over his position.
It ain't difficult. 50% chance for either of us. Anyone of you out there too.
When anyone buy Germany 4-1 England, if the result turn otherwise, his bet is a lousy bet. If the result is the same as what he better, his bet is the best.

Maradona taunts Schweinsteiger
Argentina manager thinks that Germany are nervous
Argentina boss Diego Maradona has produced his latest bizarre slant on international management by taunting Bastian Schweinsteiger ahead of the World Cup quarter-final against Germany.
Schweinsteiger has recently attacked Argentina's behaviour following the last-eight clash four years ago, when Germany progressed to the semi-finals on penalties.
The Bayern Munich midfielder followed up by accusing the South Americans of whingeing to referees and using provocative tactics to wind-up opponents.
But Maradona has responded in a television interview when he turned directly to a camera and in an imitation German accent said: "What's the matter Schweinsteiger? Are you nervoussh?"
Maradona, who has already got himself into wars of words with Pele and Michel Platini at this World Cup, added: "It doesn't worry me what he says about penalties and that we don't know how to lose. It doesn't interest us.
"A different game is played every match and this is going to be different because we are coming out to attack them and play in their faces.
"This is what has made them nervous."

Mind game has gone into overdrive. So far a summary of what the two sides are trying to do.
Germany Trying to use the same tactics as they did for England. Talking about penalities and how they will win because they are supposedly the best penalty takers. Obviously hoping to trap Argentina the same way they trapped England. It seems a bit strange though. Does anyone actually expect Argentina to sit back and not attack? Maybe the German team was observing Argentina training and saw them practicing a defensive formation.
Argentina Playing the ref again to try and encourage the ref to be strict and issue lots of cards, preferably when they are attacking near the penalty box. The Hand of God got upset when the Germans exposed his tactics. He seems to have switched to a new line of attack, involving taunting the Germans.

Germany so far in this campaign, won against 10 man Australia, lost against Serbia when they had 10 man, won against Ghana 1-0 and a 4-1 win over a England which has a legitimate goal ruled out. .
They have to do better than this to beat Argentina. Argentina would have to take note of Germany's counter attacking capability which ripped apart Australia and England. If can take note of this, then there is not much sting in Germany's attack. (Can be seen how Serbia held them off)
It would be a great but achievable shock if all 4 S.American teams can qualify for Semi-finals
Let's view this from an angle of perspective and proportion. South America have only 10 countries, allocated 4.5 berths and 5 qualified, that's 50% qualification rate. Europe have 44 countries and allocated 13 berths (about 30% rating). For the past World Cups, South American countries also won 50%. Nothing shocking for all-South American semi-finals. It just never happened before by the law of numbers, as there're much fewer South American countries, but it's nothing shocking when the few numbers click into the right place at the right time.
