Argentina exits the World Cup and in the 90 minutes it took for them to lose, they went from a red-hot with a chance to hoist the Cup to a team that wasn’t worthy. 4-0 in a quarterfinal is unacceptable. I kept waiting for Argentina to break through but it never happened. The German defense was up to the test and they finished most opportunities. Argentina seemed flat, frustrated and could not create chances. Did we have a shot on goal? Worst part of the day was having random strangers offer their condoloences. That's how much we stunk it up.
Sadly Messi went from soccer God to mortal and now the shadow of Maradona is all consuming. Before the match it didn’t matter that he hadn’t scored because he was creating chances and Argentina was winning. After the game, his World Cup performance was a major disappointment because he didn't score and was put in the same bust category with Ronaldo, Kaka, Rooney etc. The Argentine press and fans have been crucifying Messi, subsequent to his incapability of reproducing his marvelous deeds at Barcelona while representing the Albicelestes. I can read it now in the Clarin sure Messi has won almost everything in the last year, but what have you done for us lately?
Well the mourning period is over and we must move on. We have Rio in 2014. Now I root for the Barcelona squad (Spain) and David Villa for the golden boot.
