Argentina 3-1 Mexico
Due to running around ferrying children here and there I only caught this game on the radio. It sounded pretty even until Tevez was allowed to score from an offside position to make it 1-0. Mexico so lost their heads following this that moments later a shocking error from Ricardo Osorio saw Gonzalo Higuain left free to waltz around the 'keeper to make it 2-0. Seven minutes into the second half, Tevez smacked the ball past Perez in the Mexican goal with a right footed shot of such power and accuracy that again all the nonsense that was previously spouted about the ball can be firmly filed as unjustified whinging. New Manchester United signing Hernandez made in 3-1 with a sharp turn and sweet left foot finish on 71 minutes but the tie had ended as a contest after Tevez's wonder strike. It's Germany next for Argentina and THAT will be a game to savour.
