4. Good game so far.

Mexico have been very impressive. Heinze should have been sent off for Argentina at the end of the 1st half though.

11. Argentina 2-1 Mexico (Final score after extra-time)

Mexico played a great game and were unlucky to lose. Argentina scraped through but Mexico proved that Argentina are not invincible.

13. I wanted Argentina to win

because Germany - Argentina will be very interesting.

14. You're right about that interesting match

I feel that the winner of that match would become very strong favourites for the tournament.
