Round of 16 results:

Germany 4:1 England

Germany demonstrated superior technical skill in one of the most anticipated rivalry games of the tournament, but England had a goal disallowed that was clearly across the line.

Argentina 3:1 Mexico

Diego Maradona\'s men posted an impressive victory in a game that had two contenders for Goal of the Tournament from Argentina\'s Carlos Tevez and Mexico\'s Javier Hernandez. Another goal by Tevez while clearly offside led to a scuffle behind the bench area as the teams headed to the locker rooms at halftime.

News From Around The Cup:

* In the aftermath of England\'s disallowed goal and Argentina\'s offside goal, controversy reigned over FIFA\'s refusal to embrace video replay technology.

* Japan\'s Keisuke Honda has been labeled the "Japanese Maradona" for his exploits in the midfield on behalf of the Samurai Blue.

* It wouldn\'t be a major international tournament without eye-catching hairstyles.

* Survival in the world of Diego Maradona is not an easy task.
