SECOND ROUND MATCH ONE
Match #49: Germany 2-0 Sweden

Sverige needs to be more careful next time, specially in a world class football match such as this, and world class rival such as Germany. Two Podolski goals are really caused by carelessness of Sverige defenders. Congrats to Germany plays and wins against Sverige in Munchen Allianz Arena, just next to BMW Tower, and advances to quarter final to met either Argentina or Mexico!

SECOND ROUND MATCH TWO
Match #50: Argentina 2-1 Mexico

A stunning performance by Mexico, real stunning performance to shut Argentina at least until the 1st half of extra-time, when mistake begins to happen and nobody succeed to block Maxi's thunder shot. The referee leads the match very well, fair and elegant, even when Gabriel Heinze shows careless play and tackles Jose Fonseca from the front, referee gives him yellow warning. The game moves on clean till the end of 2nd half extra time. Argentina will meet Germany.
