Counterattack and park the bus. Mark Toni Kroos out of the game, hes been the best player in this world cup. His passing percentage is currently ludicrous. He's the maestro of this team like how Xavi was for Spain in his prime. Attack down the left (Germany is playing a centerback in that position who isn't the fastest).
Germany is so complete in that they can tiki taka like Spain but also play physical due their size advantage in most positions.
Real madrids cl semi win over Bayern is a good example of how to counter atack a team like Germany. I mentioned height earlier because Argentina obviously have some very small players up front which limits them from being able to hit crosses effectively (sometjing Di Maria is very good at for Real Madrid).
