Paper would suggest we should beat those teams.We all know it's not quite so easy.As Egypt showed against the Argies.Oh yeah definitely not saying those opponents didn't deserve to be at that point. Just pointing out Germany had an on paper easy route to the final and the first proper good team they faced was Brazil who they promptly lost to.Argentina have had a similarly easy run so let's hope same happens to them.
