Pekerman quits after Argentina defeat Jose Pekerman has resigned as Argentina's coach after the quarter-final defeat to Germany on penalties. "This has come to an end and I will certainly not go on". "I'm very sorry for the fans and the players, this team deserves to go further but we couldn't make it," said the 56-year-old Pekerman. It seemed that the South Americans would qualify for the semi finals, but Miroslav Klose's late equaliser sent the game into extra-time. The decision to replace Juan Riquelme was uninspired and Argentina looked vulnerable. As the game went to the penalty shoot-out Germany's Lehmann denied both Ayala's and Cambiasso's kicks to secure the hosts qualification in the semi finals.
