Argentina – Are they still the favourites ?

Posted by Martin in Argentina, World Cup | 21 June 2006

I guess my expectations were too high for the game against the dutch. When ever you have two good teams playing each other, you rarely get an enthralling game.

Both sides appeared to defend well, but neither had any real opportunities. Tevez had the best of opportunities but never really made much of them.

So having been pretty bored for 92 minutes, my question is, are Argentina still up to winning ? On the performance I’ve just witnessed, I would say they look beatable. O.k so England would have to raise their game considerably if they are in with a shout, but that’s probably the case for a number of teams that I’ve seen so far.

So, perhaps not the best game for Argentina, but good news for others who may face the Argentineans at some point before the final !

Still favourites ? Not for me !

Thanks.
