My heart has started to beat normally again.

Before the match, everyone said it was going to be a humilliating defeat for mexico, and they turned out to be a lot harder than we expected.. so what do they complain about..?

Do you Argentines think you can beat Germany in their own turf???? You barely tied Netherlands and Mexico almost beat you, all I can say is to enjoy the week and have your bags ready, good Luck!!

way to go argentina, next is germany, too bad this match is happening so early. The germans are playing like a well oiled machine bent on world domination, Vs sweden they were just about perfect for like the first 25 minutes. I hope argetina’s defense plays better againt them, my dad saw that final back in 74′ when the germans were host too but the dutch were favorites and he feels the same way about the germans this time around and so do I, I just dont see the germans loosing against anybody, their morale is high as it can be, we’ll see what happens.

Thank you Maxi for keeping our dreams alive.
Heinze,u nearly cost us the match.
Messi was just AWESOME!!(Come on,Pekerman,use Messi as your starting XI!!If world’s greatest club,Barcelona can do that,why can’t we,the world’s GREATEST FOOTBALL TEAM!!!!)
Anyway,i think against Mexico was just our off day.But it could be a blessing in disguise and bring us down to earth and wake us up to face the Germany(it’s pay back time,Remember 1990?)
Vamos Argentina!!!

Argentina barely managed to move into the next round here. Germans play good agressive soccer in first 10-20 minutes. On the otherhand, Argentina doesn’t start well.. It’s hard to see Argentina beating Germany - unless Peker changes the lineup. It’s going to be interesting first 20 minutes which will decide who will win this battle. If Argentina can restrict Germany from scoring in first 20 minutes, we will be winners !

Germany are a much superior team than Mexico - Argentina need to start with Tavez and Crespo and Sub them with Messi and Saviola. Aimar should start with Requelme, this will take some pressure off Requelme and put some pressure on German midfield.

I will be very dissappointed to see Argentina exit from worldcup in quarter finals. Good Luck Argentina.

Hey Teddy.. Yea got you upset didn’t I? Oooh I love it!

Posted from  Australia

We didn’t play too well becasue:
1- Mexico scored early, changed all our tactics.
2. Scolani sucked. He is horrible defensively.
3. Heinze had a very bad game.
4. I would like to see Burdisso back, we need him badly to anchor the defense.
5. If our defense is solid, then midfield is good, thus Requelme will play great. But if defense is no good, then forget it.
6. I would love to see the combo of Crespo and Messi starting. It would put a lot of pressure on opponents defense.

First of all everybody please ignore that stupid ignorant KANGAROO from down under! You must have some real mental problems to come and write in a blog which is not for your national team and you are not a fan of it and you are not even from opponent country (Mexico)!! Go get some help lady and find something more useful than writing crap in here and don’t forget to take your pills! Anyway how old are you? 10 or something? With that “God created who first and who second” crap, I remember hearing those stupid arguments when I was in primary school!!!!

Now about the game! I am really happy this happened against Mexico! I hope they wake up now and get back on their normal game play. Scaloni and Heinze simply killed me. I cursed and screamed so much that I woke up my wife and she was scared to death that what had happened. Scaloni couldn’t give strikers one clear ball. All simply taken by Mexicans and every time he got the ball he had to stop the ball for long time to find a player to pass the ball to him and most of the time that player was a Mexican. Heinze was too lucky he wasn’t sent off after that stupid mistake and stupid tackle, goal was also his mistake in marking player.

I couldn’t watch the last minutes of game. I was so scared Mexicans score after 85 and make all of us cry for the 5th consecutive time! Man I am so happy we are not playing every night or I would be dead of pressure after 2 days. Now can just enjoy and relax till Friday.

Damn stupid referees!!! How many more goals they want to get from us? Crespo must have been Top Scorer already with 5 or 6 goals. This happening in each and every game is really irritating me.

I am die hard Argentina fan, I start loving Argentina from 1986 with Great Diego pumping blue and white love in to my heart when I was only five, Batigol was my only role model when I was a teen and you can say I still love everything about him. Messi is just going to continue this glory. I am not Argentinean but VIVA ARGENTINA FOREVER.

VIVA ARGENTINA!

MAXI has been the outstanding player for Argentina. No one expected him to be that good. He has been the difference for us so far. Keep it up MAXI.

Viva Argentina!

I actually don’t believe you a chick. You are trying too hard to sound like a woman’s rights activist.

Or like a girl every guy dated once, only to find their family jewels missing in the morning.

Results (2nd Stage): Argentina vs Mexico

I missed my prediction for this game where Mexico was supposed to win.

Judging by the way the two teams played it could have gone either way that saw Maxi Rodriguez scoring on a left-footed shot on the 98th minute.

It was a close game which starte…

Posted from  United States

Oh yeah, Mexico played with a big heart. It was definitely impressive, but kudos to argentina.

My view of the game- instaed of criticising Aargentina we must congratulate Mexico for taking the game to us and attacked when they had the ball.

Mexico deserve credit for their efforts whilst i feel Argentina were jusy a little better, Bdst game of the tournament!! I had no fingernails left.

I feel we played well considering the way Mexico played but what the hell is Scaloni doing.

DROP SCALONI. THE MAN WAS PATHETIC YESTERDAY AND DIDNT DO MUCH IN DEFENCE OR ATTACK. THE WORST PLAYER IN THE TEAM BY A MILE.

Please Burdisso hurry back quickly.

Congratulations to the Mexicans as well for an excellent game. They were rightly considered as contenders for the world cup.

Posted from  United Kingdom

To my opionion BOTH teams gave it their best argentina had the flaw of SCALONI and mexico had the lost of rythim they had in first half due to the change of their 2 injured players. SO!! BOTH TEAMS PLAYED EQUALY WELL! therefore i tip my hat to both teams and Hopefully argentina beats Germany and the number one reason of them all BRASIL!!!

Argentina will lose (not by much though). The Germans are very strong and BIG compared to the Argentinos. Not only that I think the Germans are going to get a lot of ‘help’ from the ref and linesmen, I hate to say it but they won’t allow Germany to lose at home. Trust me, FIFA wants Brasil vs. Germany for the final. It’s happened before in other host countries. Check the quarterfinal scores in Argentina in 78.

On Aimar, Messi, and Tevez:

I don’t think the “Riquelme sucked” piece is valid. He did, however, get very tired from the dogging that Mexico’s midfield laid on him. Mexico are very fit and determined, and they were tough to handle. He wore down. But his languid style is very effective. It’s elegance more than quickness, but he gets the job done. What I don’t see, however, is why Cambiasso plays in front of Aimar. Cambiasso’s a good player, but simply a cog; Aimar can create. Certainly if Argentina go down, they should bring Aimar in . I thought the entire pace of the game changed when he arrived; Mexico had controlled much of midfield up to that point. Certainly Aimar and Riquelme can play together.

2) If you were the defense, would you rather play against Messi or Tevez, on the one hand, or Saviola. Again, it’s a perfectly good player versus explosiveness. They need Crespo still, for the little men cannot get to any headers, but I think the big German defenders would hate to find themselves one on one with either Tevez or Messi. They’re just to quick and fast.

3) Klose is a handful that might be more than the Argentinian central defense can handle. That’s my biggest worry. And the airballs, where their height will be quite advantageous. Should be a great game; whoever wins, in my opinion, goes all the way.

Go Argentina!
