Argentina Vs Serbia and Montenegro

Yet another shocking results from the match of Argentina Vs Serbia and Montenegro with a scoreline of 3-0 at half-time and Argentina won with 6-0 eventually. Every match seems to outdo the last one, and made it so difficult to predict the score. Was on the way home when Web's fren, Thomas messaged him the score and we both were shocled. The guy sitting beside Web gave us a puzzled look, think he heard the match we metioned but din hear the score.


Summarised report from the World Cup 2006 website:

Argentina gave a fearsome show of attacking strength as they swept aside Group C rivals Serbia and Montenegro 6-0 in Gelsenkirchen on Friday, 16 June 2006.

Jose Pekerman's team equalled their record FIFA World Cup™ win against Peru from 1978 against opponents they had, coincidentally, dismantled by the same score at the 2004 Olympic Football Tournament. More importantly, the victory took them a big step closer to the second round, while leaving Serbia and Montenegro’s hopes hanging by a thread.

The flow of goals began in the sixth minute with Maxi Rodriguez and after Esteban Cambiasso had doubled the lead in the 31st minute, Rodriguez struck again to make it 3-0 ten minutes later. There was no respite for Serbia and Montenegro after the break as, following the dismissal of Mateja Kezman, Hernan Crespo hit Argentina's fourth in the 78th minute. Substitutes Carlos Tevez (84') and Lionel Messi (88') completed the scoring in the final ten minutes.

In conclusion: If anyone doubted Argentina's credentials, they can doubt no more. As for Serbia and Montenegro, this ‘nightmare group’ has become just that.
