Argentina are the highest scoring team in the history of World Cup tournaments and have never failed to qualify for the round of 16.
Today, they showed why.
Playing like a well-oiled machine, Argentina easily put away a resilient South Korean side 4-1. Any questions about their ability to work together as a team that arose after their match against Nigeria and after a lackluster qualifying campaign, should have been set aside today.
After the first round of matches concluded yesterday, only one team stood out as having come to South Africa wanting to really win this thing, and that was Germany. Argentina have taken a spot beside the Germans at the top of the “watch out for” list.
The tournament also saw it’s first hat trick, shockingly enough coming from the goal scoring machine that was Argentina. Gonzalo Higuain netted his first ever international hat trick in international football, while Messi worked his butt off against a wall of South Korean defense.
Watch out world, Argentina appears to have found their groove.
Maradona, however, has promised to streak naked through the streets of Buenos Aires if his side wins the World Cup – a sight I’m sure the world could do without.
