Sepp Blatter: "More than 500,000 fans will have come to South Africa and some are talking about the figure being even higher.
"The forecast from 'old Europe' was the fans wouldn't come - well here they are.
"I am a very happy president today and I hope I will be happy until the very end of this week.
"There is a political dimension to football too - how many heads of states have come to visit South Africa, and they all want to make sure they have the pictures taken in the stands. That's the power of football.
"Football gives emotions in this deranged world. Look at the news and you see the world appears to have suddenly stopped and the TV cameras will after July 12 be used everywhere else in the world.
"We are giving hope to the world that perhaps through football we can become better human beings."
ARGENTINA 0 GERMANY 4
Six days after turfing England out of the World Cup with a magical display, Germany cast their spell on Argentina with a brilliant quarter-final performance.
Argentina were buried thanks to a third-minute goal from Thomas Muller and two second-half efforts from Miroslav Klose either side of one from Arne Friedrich.
Even Diego Maradona would had appreciated it had he not been in the opposite dug-out. An imperious masterclass from a side on the march.
Who knows whether Germany will win the World Cup. But when Fabio Capello talks about the future, about Euro 2012 and the improvements England will make, this is the team he must measure his own by. And the gulf is huge.
Games of this magnitude can often be dull, sterile affairs, where two giants cancel each other out completely.
This spectacular never had a chance of being that way.
An Argentina team containing Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain and Carlos Tevez, managed by one of the most creative forces there has ever been, is not exactly set up to defend.
Germany's talents are not as well known. But over the past week Joachim Low's team have made some statement.
Wherever he was watching, Capello must have at least taken some comfort from the fact England are not the only ones to suffer. Nor are they the only ones with a goalkeeper prone to make errors.
When Nicolas Otamendi brought Lukas Podolski down by the touchline, the start of what turned out to be a tortuous opening period for the young full-back, Bastian Schweinsteiger curled the free-kick to the near post.
Muller escaped Otamendi's attentions and rose unchallenged.
The youngster should have sent a firm header into the corner. Instead, he got the faintest touch which deceived Sergio Romero, who must have thought he was going to be beaten anyway.
It shot off the Argentina keeper's leg and rolled into the net.
For a good 15 minutes, those famous blue and white shirts were seen twisting and turning in all directions as they tried to keep their opponents at bay.
Klose wasted a golden opportunity to double the advantage when Muller capitalised on Gabriel Heinze's error and squared for the veteran frontman.
On his 100th appearance, it should have been his 51st goal. But he rushed the opportunity and side-footed over.
Too young to be considered for Germany's triumphant Under-21 squad at last summer's European Championships, what a year Muller has had.
In reaching the Champions League final with Bayern Munich, he had already confirmed himself as one of the best young players in the world.
On successive weekends, both England and Argentina have discovered the 20-year-old is a rich talent as well.
Unfortunately, football can be a cruel sport and a harsh booking for handball means the youngster will miss Wednesday's semi-final in Durban.
After being hurt so badly so quickly, Argentina at least managed to clear their heads and began to respond.
The problem was Germany's defence was rock solid, their movement choreographed superbly.
Messi tried to sparkle but he was forced further back to gain meaningful possession, and then surrounded instantly to ensure there was no escape.
Another star name destined to leave South Africa without making a significant mark, or scoring a goal, Messi did his best with the scraps that were offered without making the mesmerising burst or defence-splitting pass his team craved.
On the touchline, Maradona stood, knowing the difference between a great player and the absolute best is their ability to produce when the pressure is at its greatest, as he did in 1986.
Since then, Germany have gained revenge, both in the 1990 final and the quarter-final four years ago.
In his amusing dismissal of England, German skipper Philipp Lahm said he wanted to win today, inside 90 minutes, for his country to finally defeat a big team.
It was time for his youthful team-mates to announce their arrival.
First, a prone Muller stabbed the ball into space and set Podolski free to present Klose with a tap-in.
Then, pushing forward even though the game was won, Friedrich was on hand to finish from close range after Schweinsteiger had cut through the Argentine defence like a knife through butter.
Klose finished the rout.
Another four goals. England and Argentina are kindred spirits.

PARAGUAY 0 SPAIN 1
David Villa enhanced his reputation as the World Cup's outstanding striker with a late winner to give a below-par Spain an historic victory over Paraguay.
The 28-year-old struck his fifth goal of the tournament to send the perennial underachievers to their first-ever World Cup semi-finals.
It was tough on Paraguay who had matched the European champions for much of the game - and though this has been a World Cup of shocks, the needle would have gone off the Richter scale if the South Americans had triumphed.
Spain now face Germany in the semi-finals - and not since 1950, where they were part of a four-team final group, have they had such an opportunity to reach the final itself.
Both sides contrived to miss penalties before Villa came up trumps after Andres Iniesta had carved out an opening for Pedro, who hit the post with his new Barcelona team-mate producing the perfect follow-up.
Until then, Paraguay coach Gerardo Martino, who made no fewer than six changes from the side that scraped past Japan on penalties, had got his tactics just right.
Spain's coach Vicente del Bosque kept faith with the same starting line-up for the third game in a row but familiarity bred contempt for the first hour.
Paraguay could have gone ahead in the very first minute had they taken advantage of an excellent opening.
The Spanish defence was split open by Oscar Cardozo who found Jonathan Santana on the edge of the box but his shot was tame and Iker Casillas was not troubled.
Cristian Riveros headed over as Paraguay continued their refusal to be overawed while Xavi, dogged by Cristian Riveros snapping at his heels, had a poor first half. Those usually laser-guided missiles from his boot looked as though the control system had gone wonky.
Spain failed to bring a single save out of Justo Villar in the first 45 minutes - Xavi's spin and volley that dipped just too late their one highlight, while Fernando Torres looked woeful.
After Joan Capdevila's free-kick was blocked, a break by Paraguay saw a stunning cross by Claudio Morel that was just missed by Santana.
Villa, who had looked the liveliest of the off-colour Spaniards, dragged a chance wide before Paraguay were controversially denied the lead.
Nelson Valdez brought down the ball and finished expertly but was flagged offside - replays showed he was just on - and he put his next chance high and wide after turning Carles Puyol inside and out at pace.
After 10 minutes of the second half del Bosque had seen enough and he sent on Cesc Fabregas for Torres and suddenly a drab game exploded into life.
Paraguay were awarded a penalty after Gerard Pique hauled down Cardozo. The Benfica forward dusted himself down and stepped up but Casillas saved low to his left.
Almost immediately referee Carlos Batres from Guatemala awarded a spot-kick at the other end after Villa was felled by Antolin Alcaraz.
Xabi Alonso put it away only to be made to re-take it due to encroachment and this time Villar came up trumps - and he then got away with clipping Fabregas, who reached the loose ball first.
Iniesta, who had been much subdued, suddenly woke up and brought a terrific save out of Villar with a curling effort, then lofted another effort high over the bar.
Fabregas' hustling saw Xavi presented with a shooting chance and he hit it almost too well as it whistled past the post.
With seven minutes left Spain finally produced a goal worthy of their lofty reputation when Iniesta went on a fantastic run and set up Pedro whose shot hit the post, with Villa reacting instinctively to fire it in off the other upright. Now he has 43 goals for his country, only one behind Raul.
It was left to Casillas to rival Villa as Spain's hero with a double save in the dying seconds to keep out Lucas Barrios and Roque Santa Cruz.
