This is an action-packed game, the yellow card on robben was fairly harsh i thought.

shit what a game from the Argies and Holland. Majority of these matches have definately been good end to end footy.

Red Card to Kezman?! That was a disappointing piece of refereeing (as have the other red cards in this tournament).

Well done to Argentina though. Some crisp passing, excellent movement and, most importantly, top-class finishing. Serbia should have been a bit more defensive and spirited but Ilija Petkovic's face and body language after only the second goal killed off any chances of this happening and any subsequent comeback.

Anyone else think the S&M GK was absolute rubbish? I know they were quality goals, but it seemed as if he was totally petrified the whole time. Barely ever got off his line either.

Most of the goals were taken from point blank range. Blame the defence before the goalie - he couldn't do shit about it.

For me, the red card was disappointing because I thought Kezman was the most committed of the S+M players. Too committed as it turns out.

On Argentina: 1. the GK's distribution was fantastic. 2. Diego's still such a boy at heart, that'd be one my lasting images for this WC.

Without Vidic and Dragutinovic in the centre of defence, it was always going to be tough.

They have really missed Vucinic up front as well. Milosevic has been terrible, he should have scored once last night and twice against the Dutch. And he should have let Kezman score against the Dutch too instead of getting in his way.

Add to that the media pressure under Petkovic and his son .. who he sent home ..

S&M were (and are) a team in disarray.

The 6-0 result merely reflects that Argentina are here to play in WC 2006, and the Serbs are struggling for depth in defence.

I am certain that with a full squad, and most importantly with the Famous Four at the back, Serbia & Montenegro would have taken points off at least Holland. I think they would have beaten Holland.

They'll be back in South Africa 2010, though.

Don't know about the Famous Four, but. Krstajic is 32, and Dragutinovic is 31. I doubt we'll still see them around come next WC. Nevertheless, Vidic is a star, and he could probably handle the defending on his own lol.




Will be good to watch the Czech's tonight, they are awesome.
