My third and last entry today is on the Argentina - S&M match. If you didn't see it, you really missed out on something great. Argentina won 6-0, and the players from S&M were reduced to mere spectators.
First goal - Rodriguez - 6'. Nice goal. Nothing sensational.
Second goal - Cambiasso - 31'. Brilliant goal. Ball was passed 24 times amongst the Argentinians as they slowly advanced towards the goal and suddenly attacked. Fab stuff.
Third goal - Rodriguez again - 41'. Lovely touch. Got the ball into the goal at an amazing angle, and the ball ensured that it stayed there by way of a deflection off the goalpost. And so the score was 3-0 at half time.
A little late into the second half, Lionel Messi was brought in. Diego Maradona cheered heartily from the stands. In less than five minutes, he engineered a goal for Argentina. Finally, however, it was credited to Crespo, though I still think it's an own goal.
Fifth goal - Tevez - 84'. Sublime. Simply sublime. My favourite goal of the match. Tevez single handedly got the ball through two defenders and the goalie and into the goal, in the process making them look like idiots of the highest order.
Sixth goal - Messi - 88'. Messi's first world cup finals goal, making him not only the youngest to play for Argentina in the World Cup Finals, but the youngest Argentinian to score a goal in the WCF as well.
S&M were left shell-shocked while the spectators enjoyed the one-sided game played by the artistic Argentinians. These guys are good!
