Argentina Vs. Holland

For those who missed last night's match....

Last night's match should definitely have been sceduled as at least the second match that either team played... The biggest expected clash in the first round of the WorldCup '06 fizzled out totally due to the fact that both teams had managed comfortable berths in the next round...

Which is what most probably triggered the decision on both sides not to play lots of their star players (Sorin, Crespo, Saviola, Robben etc.) at all..

Even then the match was damn good in the first half... both teams aggressively going for goal.... And Argentina coming off considerably better... but lacking the teeth to penetrate the Dutch seven foot tall goal armor- Van Der Sar...

The second half was terrible (I almost dozed off!)... Me visualizes both team coaches telling their players not to try to hard on a match that doesn't affect anything other than some vague international soccer matches' statistics...

Viva la abliceleste!

Edit- On a note that i have been harping on for quite some time- It's time the Netherlands stop wasting a spot on their squad by giving it to Nistelrooij (is this new spelling thanks to some Astrological/numerological manipulation, a la Indian Politico/Movie Star style?)...

Go Albiceleste

Looks like all the ruddy superstars in the Albiceleste have decided to play together as a team! That's what everyone else should be afraid of...
