With Miroslav Klose set to win his 100th cap against Argentina in Saturday's quarter-final, Germany coach Joachim Low insists the veteran striker is hungry for more FIFA World Cup™ success.
With a semi-final berth at stake, Klose will make his 100th appearance against Diego Maradona's side at Green Point Stadium and the Bayern Munich forward is looking for his third goal of the current tournament. He scored his 50th goal for Germany in last Sunday's 4-1 rout of England in the Round of 16, putting him third in the list of Germany's all-time goal-scorers.
The 32-year-old, who scored five at each of the last two finals, has now scored 12 goals in three FIFA World Cups - the same amount as Brazilian legend Pele - and he has said he wants to break Ronaldo's record of 15 at all finals.
His century of appearances makes him the joint-seventh most capped player to appear for Germany, but he still has a long way to go to beat Lothar Matthaeus' record of 150 caps.
