Argentina against Germany Wagering at FIFA World Cup

Despite being the faves to win this match in sportsbooks gambling, Argentina was beaten by Germany in a astonishing 4-0 match on Saturday.

Germany will now progress to the semifinals where they will take on Spain, who conquered Paraguay 1-0 in World Cup betting.

On the line in the World Cup wagering matchup between Argentina and Germany wasn’t simply a berth in the World Cup semifinals but heaps of national pride also. Including two times in the World Cup finals, these 2 squads have a long and rich history of meeting in the World Cup betting action. And in this newest soccer betting matchup on Saturday, the World Cup probabilities action likes the Argentine side. But it will likely be the Germans that progress 1 match closer to this year’s World Cup betting finals, not the Albiceleste.

The Argentine side entered this match an 11/8 favorite in the World Cup probabilities. With 12/5 probabilities, Germany wasn’t far behind. But when you take a look at the total soccer betting probabilities for an outright win in the World Cup betting action, Argentina had a decided advantage 4.8/1 against Germany’s 15/2 probabilities.

But the World Cup is not decided on paper and when the Germans pulled off the slight upset in the World Cup betting match on Saturday, that was made clear.

Argentina was an offensive juggernaut thus far in this World Cup and its ten goals in 4 games are about outstanding as you’ll come across at the World Cup wagering level. But that deluge offense comes as a result of a pretty forward playing squad which exposes the squad’s defense.

Mexico took advantage of this and nearly made a match of it in the Round of 16 World Cup betting action. Many shots wide open shots from a distance rattled off the crossbar, and Mexico might have just pulled off the win if the ball would have been a few inches lower. Germany has the speed of Mexico to be just as dangerous on the counterattack, but it is a better finishing team and competes with more patience than the Mexican side.

For even a minute of World Cup betting action, Argentina hasn’t had to play from behind. This played right into the hands of the patient German side when pressured to press and opened all the more counterattack scoring chances.

And Argentina simply forgot to shore up their defense. The Argentine’s infamously vocal and insane coach, Diego Maradona, stated before the match that he wished he could get in uniform and play again for Argentina. But it wasn’t more offense that the squad needed when it came down to it. Maradona has been congratulated previously for giving his squad free rule to do their thing and strike the other squad. It has served them well to this point.

After the defeat, Maradona was clearly discouraged and unhappy. As did many of the World Cup betting buffs, he must have supposed much more from his squad. After all, this is a sport that’s been owned by South America for several years. Yet now both Brazil and Argentina have been eliminated in spite of being a few of the strongest squads in the game.
