Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Khedira, Özil, Müller, Podolski mechanical and

Perhaps you go and review the folloing goals:

Germany - Argentina 2-0
Germany - Argentina 3-0
Germany - Argentina 4-0
Germany - England 2-0
Germany - England 3-1
Germany - England 4-1
Germany - Ghana 1-0
Germany - Australia 1-0
Germany - Australia 3-0
Germany - Australia 4-0

Note: I skipped for you those (few) goals that could be interpretated
as "mechanical"... Resting enough goals that were just FIRST CLASS.
