Argentina vs Mexico

1) I was drunk and had eaten a lot of meat by the time that this game kicked off. Therefore my memories may not be entirely reliable. I think this was a game that ended up being totally ruined by a wrongly allowed goal; credit to Mexico for still making a game of it, it looked for a while in the first half as if it was going to kick off big time.

2) Tevez scored an outrageous goal to make up for his cheating ways: the best I've seen in the tournament. A rare occasion for Hansen to be justified with his "great hit" bollox.

3) I'm not a big Lionel Messi fan, truth be told. I don't really like the fact that although he's so rich, he still has such rubbish hair. You wouldn't want Tevez' hair (black, greasy and lank held back by a hairband), but at least it's distinctively rubbish. Messi's is neither short nor long, has no wave or curl to it, it's just there. Poor. I appreciate he's quite good at the whole "kicking the ball"; they should can the fucking Maradona comparison though. The overall level of the Argentina 1986 side was basically a quarter final team, and he made them champions. If you took out Samuel, Mascherano, Di Maria and Tevez and Argentina won the World Cup this year, that would be different. But now? Nowhere close. Great player though, hair and media bullshit aside.

4) Javi Hernandez will score at least four winners for Manchester United next season. He looks like a serious little player.
