Argentina were better than I expected, to be honest. Defensively you looked pretty well organised. I still think there was far too much space in midfield, though - Cambiasso doesn't do a lot going forward so I guess he (and also Maxi Rodriguez) really need to close down a lot quicker.

I guess Messi's going to be coming off the bench this tourney, then.

I reckon you've got a chance (I was perhaps a bit uncharitable to say Argentina were "outsiders" before...) but as the tourney's in Europe, you've gotta reckon a European team is probably going to win it, and if not, Brazil.
