Argentina vs Brazil

Here we have the ultimate rivalry. Two of the best teams in the world, and certainly of South America, squared off today in the Khalifa International Stadium. The match seemed to be in favor of Brazil since the beginning. Their only setback is that the team is very young. Some see them as too young, while others see the glass half full. They perceive it as being a positive, fresh lineup. However, Argentina was debuting their new head coach, Batista, replacing Maradona. Many players suffered injuries and were unable to play. These included Cambiasso, Walter Samuel, both the Milito brothers, Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero. Nevertheless, the match went on. After battling for 90 minutes, Messi scored in the last minute. Critics who say he doesn't work as well for the Argentina team in comparison to Barcelona were quiet after this late goal. For a video of the goal, click here.
