Argentina and Côte D'ivoire provided a killer

Ok we had another of a cracker what a match seems like night matches have more energy in them maybe its because of lack of heat or just my imagination. But some match it was, it had pace, creativity, breathtaking passes, resolute defending, total determination, never say die approach and some tough goal keeping. Ivory Coast must be ruing about the chances they missed plus they lacked creativity upfront or it was just good defending by Argentina. Whatever it was 13 shots with just 4 on goal and one converted is not a good ratio. Argentina on the other hand were more clinical in their approach they were breaking at the right time with right amount of pace in it and enough players to create some great chances. Riquelme was especially devastating with his precise passing and provided assists in both goals the last one being a killer through pass. Saviola who was preferred over Lionel Messi proved his coach’s decision correct with a well taken goal to give Argentina 2-0 lead.

For Cost Rica or Côte D'ivoire as they are like to be called, their midfield and forward line was very impressive in building up they were way too quick and precise only problem was they lacked creativity in penetrating the Argentinean’s defense and when they did they mostly blew it off. Their only goal came bit too late. Kalou and Didier Drogba were very impressive and it will be one hell of a game against Dutch.
