On a neutral field, I'd see an advantage for Argentina. Home field advantage turns this around.

Germany is nowhere near Argentina, not even close. It would be a huge upset to see Germany go through.

You don't watch much soccer do you?

Never heard of home field advantage?

you're right, I'll rephrase:
It would take horrible refereeing to see Germany go through.

There is no denying the talent on Argentina but they almost went home yesterday. Germany has been getting better with each outing. Mexico is no Germany.

Germany 2-1

Germany are very slight favorites (-113 to argentina's +107). however, argentina are given slightly better odds to end up winning the title.

Interesting odds. Going into the round of 16, Germany was +800 to win the WC, while Argentina was at +380. Now Germany is the favorite in this match. Did Germany really look that good and Argentina that bad? I would say fatigue might play into the equation for ARG, but the teams are getting 6 days rest. The German back line hasn't really been tested yet. I think Argentina's array of strikers will give the German D fits. Riquelme needs to step up and have a better game, but gimme the (slight) underdog Argies in this one.

Probably based on too much Tijuana tequila.
