I it was never in doubt that Argentina would win, but Mexico wouldn't have been slaughtered outright had they played a bit stronger like they did the first 25 minutes and the last 15 minutes..

To be fair, it would be embarassing for the Dutch to go out against Slovakia, but I hope there's no underestimation sneaking into the squad.

that was such a Booooring first half, it got exciting in the second when the Slovakians finally showed up.

exactly. thats why I was happy they at least got that goal in the 93rd minutes, they didn't deserve to go out scoreless after having so thoroughly humiliated Italia! Peace out Eurotrash teams, Germany is getting knocked out soon, and Spain will join them. I am so glad to see Europe go!
