Argentina coach Diego Maradona is confident his team will beat Germany in Cape Town on Sunday to progress to the World Cup semi-finals.
Two goals from Carlos Tevez and one from Gonzalo Higuain secured a 3-1 win over Mexico in Johannesburg this morning.
The game between Argentina and Mexico was marred by controversial decisions when Carlos Tevez put Argentina ahead on 25 minutes, and the replay showed that he was offside.
Speaking through an interpreter Argentina coach Diego Maradona said that the game against Mexico was a difficult game, and he has paid tribute to the players.
Meanwhile, Mexico coach Javier Aguirre said two errors had cost his side a place in the quarter-finals and he is unhappy because his side lost concentration on the game.
Four teams have already confirmed their places in the quarterfinal of the FIFA World Cup Soccer, namely Ghana after they beat USA 2-1, Uruguay after they beat South Korea 2-1.
In this morningss matches Argentina are through after they beat Mexico 3-1 and Germany thrashed England 4-1.
In tomorrow morning's playoffs Netherlands meet Slovakia at 2am and Brazil meets Chile at 6:30am.
