Argentina striker Carlos Tevez has stated that he is not even contemplating the thought of losing to Germany in Saturday's World Cup quarter-final.
The Manchester City hit-man played a key role in his side's 3-1 win over Mexico, despite scoring the first from what looked to be an offside position, he then scored arguably the goal of the tournament so far with a sizzling strike to put his team three goals to the good.
Diego Maradona's side can reach the semi-finals of the competition should they defeat the Germans, with it being their first run to that stage since Maradona captained the team to the final in 1990 - where they were beaten by Germany.
Tevez was also part of the team that lost on penalties to the then-hosts in 2006 at the quarter-final stage, and admitted that he could not bear to think of his side not coming out on top this time around.
The 26-year-old was also happy to be given the label as a crowd favourite, with his bullish approach to attacking making him a standout player for the Argentines, and was hopeful that the team could deliver the big prize at the end.
