巴拉克：“儘管我在比賽中抽筋了，但我必須堅持比賽，因為，我們已經用完3個用人名額。也許本場比賽並不是最精彩的比賽，但是雙方在戰術上都沒有犯什麼錯誤。點球常常要依靠運氣。我們盡力不讓阿根廷人控制比賽，最後，我們獲得了更多的機會。我們今天戰勝了一個巨大的困難，現在我們要回到多特蒙德參加半決賽，那裏的球迷會又會給我們極大的支持。我希望，我們能實現我們的夢想，但這不容易。”
萊曼：“我的隊友們發出了精確美妙的點球。我不願再多説什麼，因為，在我們面前還有更大的挑戰。我現在想為下一場比賽昨準備。 ”
克羅澤：“這是一場讓人難忘的比賽，我現在幾乎還不能呼吸，我幾乎不能説話，我們也許有有一些運氣成分。在下半場，形勢開始便得對我們有利。但今天的比賽很艱苦。我和對方守門員撞了一下，受到輕微的傷害，因此，我被換下。”
達維德 奧東科爾：“我很高興，我們贏得比賽，但我們得開始考慮下一場比賽了，這場比賽很艱苦，我今天在場上的表現證明了我是多麼的愛著足球。”
奧利弗 諾伊維爾：“T這是我們目前遇到的最艱苦的比賽。最後，我們有一點運氣成分，我們今天展示出了德國的特點和意志。”
菲利普 拉姆：“當我們落後時，我知道我們會扳平的。萊曼在本場比賽，表現出了極大的自信，我們對他充滿信心。而且他和卡恩之間的手勢，就可以表明我們這支球隊應經去得進步。”
巴斯蒂安斯 施魏因施泰格：“我知道只要我們犯得錯誤越少，我們獲勝的幾率就越大。我們證明了我們自己的實力，也贏得了對手的尊重。”
托爾斯滕 弗林斯：“這是一場激烈的戰爭，我們發揮出了我們全部的實力，比賽的結果也回報了我們。”
盧卡斯 波多爾斯基：“阿根廷的防守很好，但是他們沒能創造很多的進球機會。我們現在目標就是要贏得冠軍，不論付出什麼代價。”
胡安-巴勃羅 索林：“我感到很難過。點球就是像在抽獎，但他也是足球的一部分。我們運氣不好。但我仍然很自豪成為阿根廷的一員，我們不會責備替補門將萊奧 佛朗哥。我們會在四年後復仇。”
埃爾南 克雷斯波：“我們發揮得很好，但是結果很讓大家難過，因為，我們這支球隊很優秀，我們也發揮出了全部實力，我們要比德國發揮的出色，但他們贏在了一些細節上。但我很自豪成為這個集體的一員，我會永遠支持阿根廷隊。”
卡利托斯 特韋斯：“我們被淘汰，很讓我生氣。我們發揮不錯，但是仍然輸掉比賽，這就意味著一切的努力都無意義了。”
加夫列爾 海因策：“我們的付出沒有得到應有的回報。不要問我德國是否會贏得冠軍，這是我不清楚的。”
哈維爾 馬斯凱拉諾：“我們盡可能為我們國家正得榮譽，你能感覺到我們發揮得更出色，但是，足球場上往往不存在公平。”
羅伯托 阿亞拉：“我們此次杯賽發揮得很好，我們可以驕傲地回家了。”
埃斯特萬 坎比亞索：“我們比對手發揮要好，我們可以昂著頭回國了。”

GERMANY?ARGENTINA: Players' Quotes

Michael BALLACK (GER), Budweiser Man of the Match
I had to play on even though I had cramp, as we'd already brought on our three substitutes. It might not have been the prettiest match to watch, and we weren't at our best in front of goal, but tactically neither team made many mistakes. Penalties always comes down to luck. We made a conscious effort throughout not to let Argentina into the match, and at the end of the day, we were the ones who had the better chances.
We overcame a really big obstacle today. Argentina were hot favourites to go all the way. Now we've got our semi-final and WE will be back in Dortmund, where the fans will give us some extra support again. We hope that we will be able to realise our dream, but it will by no means be easy.
Jens LEHMANN (GER)
Our guys hit some fantastic penalties. I'll say no more, though, since we have another challenge ahead of us already. I want to start preparing for our next opponent.
Miroslav KLOSE (GER)
I think that it was a fascinating match. I'm still breathless ? I can hardly speak. It was an incredible game, and we were maybe a little lucky to win. We saw how the Argentinians came forward on the break whenever we sat back. In the second half, things were a lot better for us. It was tough for us forwards today, as the muggy conditions held us back a bit. I had an accidental collision with the goalkeeper and got cramp in my calves, which is why I had to come off.
David ODONKOR (GER)
I'm very happy that we won the match, and the fans we have are really great. We can't celebrate for too long, though ? we need to prepare for the next match. It was a tense game, and a tough one as well. I think that I showed today just how much I love my football. The coach told me to go out and have some fun.
Oliver NEUVILLE (GER)
That was the toughest match to date for us in this tournament. In the end, we just had a bit more luck than they did, as that’s all that it comes down to with penalties. We showed some typically German qualities today and got back into the game after we fell behind. Argentina took the chance they had, we took ours and we ended up winning.
Philipp LAHM (GER)
We knew that we could turn the tide if we went behind. We're in the semis now, which probably no-one was expecting. Jens Lehmann is the kind of goalkeeper who exudes self-belief, and we all had every confidence in him too. The little gesture between Oli Kahn and Jens shows just how far this team has progressed.
Bastian SCHWEINSTEIGER (GER)
It was party-time in the changing room ? we were dancing around, there was music playing ? it was real fun. It was so good, the way the lads just stepped up and calmly slotted the penalties in. They put them away really well. We knew that the fewer mistakes we made, the easier it would be. We waited for some space to open up on the pitch and managed to win most of the ball at the back. We respect all of the teams left in the competition, but we aren't afraid of any of them. We owe Italy one as well. Today was a typical draw. We were surprised at the way Argentina lined up, and that showed that they had a lot of respect for us.
Torsten FRINGS (GER)
The game was a war of attrition. We had to give it our all today, and turned the match in our favour at the end.
Lukas PODOLSKI (GER)
The Argentinians played very well in defence but didn't create many chances up front. We want to win the World Cup now, whatever it takes.
Juan Pablo SORIN (ARG)
My heart just feels empty because we deserved more than a draw. We did the best we could but we didn’t have any luck. Penalties are a lottery but at the same time they’re part of the game. It would be stupid to blame (Leo) Franco because we’ve got the best keepers in the world, and I’d just like to add that I’m very proud to be part of this team. We’ve got a great side and we can get our revenge in four years time.

Hernan CRESPO (ARG)
We played really well and it hurts so much to lose. The boys are really down because we’ve got an exceptional team, we gave it everything we had out there and we deserved so much more. Germany weren’t better than us and the game was decided by the smallest of details. For me, we’ve had a disappointing tournament because we’ve been knocked out. That said, I’m very proud to be part of this group. I’m not really bothered who wins it now to be honest. I support Argentina and that’s it.
Carlos TEVEZ (ARG)
Naturally I’m very angry - we’ve just been eliminated. The fact that we played well doesn’t make it feel any better either. They attacked twice and scored a goal but Argentina were the better side. We put in a good performance but it doesn’t mean anything because we lost, and there’s nothing that has happened today that will make me feel any better about it.
Gabriel HEINZE (ARG)
It hurts a lot to lose like that. We didn’t deserve it but we gave it all we had. I really don’t know why we lost. And don’t ask me if I think Germany will win the World Cup or not because the truth is I really couldn’t care less.
Javier MASCHERANO (ARG)
We tried to play and represent the country as well as we could. I’ve got nothing to say because if you watch the game you’ll see that we were the better team. We showed we’re up there with the best teams in the world, and in my opinion there’s no such a thing as justice in football.
Roberto AYALA (ARG)
We’ve had a great World Cup and we were a great side, one that improved with every game, but now we’ve got nothing to show for it. We shouldn’t be hard on ourselves, though, and we can look ourselves in the mirror and go home proud of what we’ve done. I think the last ten minutes were vital to us not winning the game. That’s when we lost a little control and let Germany get an equaliser.
Leonardo FRANCO (ARG)
For me, I thought we played well. Losing is all part of the game but you always need some luck and we didn’t get any. They kept their heads better than we did in the penalties. We missed out and there’s nothing we can do about it now. All the same, we have to keep things in proportion because they weren’t better than us.
Julio CRUZ (ARG)
The dream is over, and it’s very hard to say that. We’ve done well overall, even though we all hoped we could get further. Although we know we lost, Germany weren’t better than us. They just had more luck in the penalties, that’s all.
Esteban CAMBIASSO (ARG)
We’re still standing tall. We outclassed them and we can go home with our heads held high.
