CAPE TOWN: Diego Maradona described Argentina's humiliation at the hands of Germany as the toughest day of his life.
Striker Miroslav Klose scored twice and Thomas Muller and Arne Friedrich got one each as Germany went through to the World Cup semi-finals with a 4-0 victory at the Green Point Stadium.
It was Argentina's worst World Cup defeat since they lost to Holland, also 4-0, in 1974. It left Lionel Messi, the world's best player, sobbing in the dressing room and Maradona hinting it could be the end of his colourful reign as Argentina coach.

"I haven't thought about leaving. I have to check that with my family and the players and there are things I have to consider.
But as coach and player the type of football people like is this one. Touch the ball, rotate, run, Argentina can't play a different style."u00a0
