MATCH PREVIEW
It could be tempting fate, but Saturday's match in Cape Town has all the ingredients to be a World Cup classic - two attack-minded sides, a plethora of star names and bucket loads of needle. With 19 goals between them, both sides have gone for the jugular in South Africa. That was certainly the case when the teams met in the quarter-finals four years ago, when Germany's penalty shoot-out win was followed by a mass brawl which earned two Argentine players Fifa bans.
Bastian Schweinsteiger has this week reopened those old wounds: "The behaviour of the Argentines on the pitch, how they gesticulate and how they try to influence the referee, is disrespectful". Captain Philipp Lahm went further, saying "they are impulsive, temperamental and they don't know how to lose."
For once, Diego Maradona refused to take the bait, dismissing Schweinsteiger's comments as symptomatic of nerves, but the coach admits Argentina will be looking for revenge on Saturday.
Lionel Messi was only an unused substitute in 2006, but will play a key role in Cape Town. Messi was many people's tip as player of the tournament but, by his own very high standards, has yet to hit top gear. Instead Germany's Mesut Ozil has arguably been the outstanding player in South Africa.

MATCH PREVIEW
This quarter-final brings together a former football superpower hoping to recapture past glories and an emerging nation looking to write their place in World Cup history. Victory for Uruguay would take them through to their first semi-final since 1970, while Ghana can become the first African side to reach the last four.
Uruguay's two World Cup wins, in 1930 and 1950, came before Ghana had even gained independence from Great Britain. That level of success was always likely to prove short-lived for a country of just 3.5m people, but this tournament has presented the Uruguayans with a golden chance to re-establish themselves on the global stage.
Victory against the USA made Ghana only the third African side to reach the last eight of a World Cup. If the Black Stars are to succeed where Cameroon and Senegal failed, they will have to cope without a number of players who will miss this game due to injury or suspension.
Head-to-head
- This will be the first full international between the two teams. The Ghanaian side that won the Fifa Under-20 World Cup last year drew 2-2 with Uruguay in the group stage.
