Germany Enters WC 2010 QFs

Germany have entered the World Cup quarter-finals. They beat England by 4-1 in their second round match in South Africa on Sunday.

Strikers Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose opended the scoring in the first half before England's Matt Upson gave his side their first goal of the contest to bring them within one.

In the second half, German midfielder Thomas Mueller scored two goals inside four minutes to give the German's the commanding three-goal lead.

The two sides have played just four games in the FIFA World Cup. They first met 44 years ago, when England used two extra-time goals for a 4-2 win in the final, and have also battled in 1970, 1982 and 1990.

The Germans went on to claim the title in 1990, while England hasn't won since 1966. Now, one of the two faces an early exit in South Africa.

Sunday's other game has Group B winner Argentina against Group A runner-up Mexico. The victor will face Germany in the next round.
