Argentina Put Down A Marker

Well I think I've seen the second best team goal of all time today. I never thought having diabetes could be a good thing but having to have a blood test meant I was at home to see Argentina beat Serbia & Montenegro 6-0 and witness a twenty four pass move that ended with Hernan Crespo back heeling a one-two with Esteban Cambiasso and the midfielder blasting the ball into the roof of the net from fifteen yards. The goal would probably be considered the best of all time if Brazil's hadn't been against the classically obdurate Italian defence in 1970. What this game did prove was that Argentina are in the mood and having spent half an hour of the second half toying with the Serbs they rounded things off with subs Tevez and Messi getting in on the goal scoring act. The difference between the Argentine side and England yesterday was that the team in blue looked comfortable on the ball, didn't leave fifty yards gaps between midfield and the forwards and actually produced some killer balls where it hurts. Gabriel Heinze showed what Man.Utd missed last season and Roberto Ayala gave a lesson to Rio Ferdinand in ball usage. Unfortunately my next blood test is after the World Cup.




Who said Baldy's can't be stars?
