Football the Beautiful Game

For an explanation of why it is so called see todays display by Argentina. Sublime football at times and they destroyed a team that had a tremendous defensive record in qualifying. Montenegro will have been wishing they had voted for independence sooner after this humiliation.

It's to early to say who will win the World Cup but Argentina in their first two games have laid down clear markers that say "we can take on anyone." It's quite amazing the difference from the 2002 World Cup, arguably an equally talented squad just couldn't produce. I really hope they come up against England in the knock out stages and show them up and that Englands 3-2 win over Argentina earlier in the year only happened because the South Americans were in cruise control at 2-1 and subbed half their team.

Brazil vs Argentina is a final i could also live with.
