TASTE DEFEAT
Argentina has disappointed thousands of fans to Draws 1 to 1 with Paraguay for the seventh round of the South American qualifiers towards South Africa 2010, the distressing result which was reached at the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires made clear that no national team is at the height of the great world powers such as Italy, Germany, France or England. Although FIFA considers the squad led by Alfio Basile one of the best in the world at football, if faced with possibly one of the countries mentioned above do not get a favorable outcome. The Argentine team was unable to specify any of the hazards that were submitted early in the first half. The speed and dribbling skills of Carlos Tevez, the excesses of Angel Di Maria next to the talent of Lionel Messi and Juan Roman Riquelme seemed to be the solution to defeat once and for all the table Guarani. However, at 13 minutes into the match, there was a clash between Gabriel Heinze and Roberto Abbondanzieri, the embarrassment of the Argentina defense and lack of communication between defender and goalkeeper led to the first goal of the game friendly group led by Gerardo Martino. Then the goal, goalkeeper, injuries from the crash, had to be replaced by Juan Pablo Carrizo.
After 30 minutes, a fact the fans left speechless Argentine Carlos Tevez who by then had emerged as the great figure of the first half was expelled for giving him a hard kick to Paulo Da Silva, the referee had no hesitation in Rio Simon punish. From that moment there was a shift in the party, the misunderstandings in the defense Blanquiceleste were remarkable and only the presence and good work of former River Plate goalkeeper allowed Paraguay not convert his second goal. Argentina started supplementing with two variants in its starting lineup, Sergio Aguero appeared among the 11 starters instead of Angel Di Maria, a key amendment to the definition of the party and Gabriel Heinze, very badly in the first half, was replaced by Daniel ‘Cata’ Diaz. The entry of these two players gave him a respite from ‘Coco’ Basile and who saw the match from their homes or in heavy rain. But the big moment came in the afternoon, a run of Lionel Messi, accompanied by a great wall with Riquelme, led to what would be the equalizer for Argentina at the foot of Maradona’s son, Sergio ‘Kun’ Ag ero, who through a shot became the goal that the Argentines were claiming both. However, despite having done a very good second half, the passing of the minutes showing that this selection was ‘great’ was a sad shadow of the national team “Sub23” that a few days ago won the gold medal at the Games played in Beijing Olympics.
