Argentina 6-0 Serbia & MontenegroNederlands 2-1 Ivory CoastMexico 0-0 AngolaOn Argentina vs Serbia & Montenegro:Based on yesterday's match, Argentina is sending out a message to the world: The attacking Argentina is back. And it's stronger and more aggressive than ever before. If Argentina were to keep up their performance, I'd shudder to think of the consequences should Brazil match up against them in the later part of the tornament. It was goals galore for Argentina as they literally trampled all over the S&B side. Argentina are serious contenders in this world cup. Poor Milosevic, him alone just wasn't enough. I loved the way Argentina played last night, they played around with the ball outside S&B's penalty area and catch the S&B's defenders off guard and ram in goals. Their passing was so freaking accurate and their set-ups were just phenomenal, they were unstoppable. Hey I bet Maradona had had a blast yesterday night watching from the spectator's stand. I loved Cambiasso's and Messi's goal the most, out of 6 goals. Can you even imagine??? There were in total 24 bloody Arg passes outside S&B's penalty area when Cambiasso blasted in that 2nd goal, it was one of the most amazing set-up I'd ever seen. And it makes me wonder if the S&B defenders still haven't recovered from jet lag. Were they sleeping??? They actually allowed 24 freaking passes without one single interception! LOL. If I were an S&B player, I'd prolly wanna feign injury after the 4th goal. It must have been humiliating for them.And Messi's goal was so darned classy! He's my fav Argentine player AND he's only 18 yrs old! The youngest Argentine player to ever play in the World Cup. Heck and I think he hasn't even reached his maximum potential. Just look at him in Barcelona! And I just realised yesterday that Maradona has named Messi his successor. What an honour for an 18 yr old!
I really hope Brazil watched this match, and be inspired and play up to expectations. Really dun wanna see Brazil being labelled the 'underperformers' this year. So GO BRASIL GO! I'd love to see Brazil match up against Argentina in the finals.p/s: I bet the commentator is a die-hard Argentine fan.
Need I say more?
Some cute Argentine fans
The match was so awesome I bet no one noticed MARADONA!
Ahh Cambiasso! Whatta goal!
On Nederlands vs Ivory Coast:
This match was a classic tug-of-war. And Nederlands were prolly luckier yesterday. Robben was yellow carded for simulation better known as diving! It was wrong judgement by the ref! He's so strict man, he gives out yellow cards like candies to children. Aargh, and it's only group stages now. Referees are the ultimate ENEMY this year so players out there, better watch out. Drogba did pretty well yesterday night, and it was a very very close fight!
Dang yesterday's matches were AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! It doesn't matter who you are rooting for, as long as you are a fan of football, you'd had a blast watching yesterday's matches. Man oh man this is one of the best World Cups I'd seen so far. The last tornament was the year of the underdogs, S.Korea making into the semis and stuff, Senegal beating France. Haha but this year these major countries are back! And back in style! So Brazil what re ya waiting for? Get out there and show us ya samba flair!
