Germany are considered to be one of the favourites to win the 2010 World Cup following their impressive 4-1 win against rivals England in the round of 16 match last weekend and midfielder Sami Khedira is confident that Die Mannschaft have what it takes to beat Argentina in the quarter-finals.
"We are full of confidence at the moment. Even against Argentina, we believe in our own strengths. We are convinced that we're capable of beating those opponents, too," Khedira was quoted as saying on the official Stuttgart website.
The holding midfielder also took the time to praise team-mate and fellow midfield maestro Bastian Schweinsteiger.
"Bastian is a true leader who does a lot of talking, has a very positive influence on the players around him and is willing to take on the responsibility in critical situations. He always wants to have the ball, even during difficult phases. We complement each other very well on the pitch."
Germany lock horns with Argentina on Saturday for a spot in the semi-finals. The Germans have a 47 per cent chance of beating the South Americans, according to Castrol Football's 2010 FIFA World Cup Match Predictor.
