Germany coach Joachim Loew hailed his side's "incredible" performance after seeing them defeat Argentina 4-0 to progress to the World Cup semi-finals.

Loew's side stunned the pre-tournament favorites with goals from midfielder Thomas Mueller, defender Arne Friedrich and two by striker Miroslav Klose.

"We really turned in an incredible showing," said Loew, whose side will now face European champions Spain.

"Scoring four goals against Argentina you have to say that that was class."

"We closed down Messi very well - without resorting to fouls, so that was great," said Loew.

Germany led 1-0 at half-time but sealed victory with three second-half goals, as Argentina's back line was torn apart.

"We really stepped on the gas in the second half and played a liberated style of attacking football," added Loew.

"I have been proud of my team for a long time, not only today. We played some really great football in the second-half and the team has shown the will of champions.

"This result and the amount of goals we scored was almost unimaginable before the game."
