so who will stay and who will be on the red eye home soon we'll discover the name of the fourth of the eight quarterfinalists at the 2010 FIFA World Cup and we're at the venue for the final with Argentina among the favorites to claim the title against Mexico at Soccer City in Johannesburg an arena holding close to 88 000. Argentina played Korea Republic here in group b Mexico opened the tournament with a one-old draw against the host South Africa back on June the 11th let's have a look at the way these sides line up first of all the argentines Maradona have the luxury of being able to give playing time to several of his second choice players last time out now he reverts to his preferred eleven Walter Samuel is not fully Fitz and Nicholas padizo continues to deputize and Gonzalo iguero who got a hat-trick against Korea in his last visit to Soccer City returns to go hunting for goals in attack a little chap called Messi reckons please do his first goal of this tournament referee tonight is Hospital manager Roberto Rosetti from Italy [Music] Hernandez Manchester United's latest recruit starts in place of Guillermo Franco as the spearhead of the attack there's a World Cup finals debut for Adolfo Bautista whose name you see on there another good attacking intentions and after completing his one-match suspension Ephraim Juarez Returns on the right of the Midfield access which includes terado and the skillful guadrado the referee from Italy just awaiting the signal from the channel coordinator on the touchline and then we are underway here a stadium which has seen quite a lot of goals in recent matches five in the game here between Argentina and Korea four as a Brazil got a victory over Cote d'Ivoire and Germany won their last outing here as well we nearly forgot to do that detail victory means so much to these coaches several coaches have already intimated that they will not be continuing in their posts after the World Cup has finished several probably won't be allowed to do by their federations the ball ricocheted off the back there mashed around up now it is taken forward by Demi Gillis playing on the right of the defensive four tonight ottomendi Maradona doesn't choose fullbacks as a rule he only has one Clemente Rodriguez in his Squad to ottom end he can play center-back or fall back it had been thought that Gutierrez would return there to that position this evening having served a suspension but he's not chosen this ball is uh in from the Mexicans he's just gonna be a faction too long however for geo Giovanni Dos Santos and John love to Galata Line Turkey at the moment from Tottenham Hotspur Maradona human scattergun I'm sure I've described us this morning it's press conference is another dull the diesel that ain't say who got The Campaign off and running with that brilliant headed goal in the opening fixty for Argentina against Nigeria [Applause] thank you say again found teles and he in turn manages to bring Maxi Rodriguez into play brought Away by the elegant Marquez Mexico need to start this game well both sides do the past Mexico more than Argentina they need some self-belief to the Mexicans having beaten the argentines so rarely the ball bouncing prodigiously there but he thought it is picked up by Bautista because it ain't safe [Music] that won't find Messi his hair is flopping around in this Breezy Stadium tonight now he has got the ball Messi Lionel Messi World footballer of the year goes her way and around the market and goes down under a challenge but there was no free kick for the tackle on him by Osorio and size were running around but not to any great purpose at the moment so Osorio steers it back to goalkeeper Perez now badiso who's one of the most decorated men in football he's won no fewer than 19 trophies oh these are Club sides ottomendi she's a lot of Mendy again who hadn't played a club first team match until two years ago for his side velasfield in Buenos Aires foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Bautista's pass for this Juarez this time in company with dos Santos Marquez who's had a glittering career now Juarez who missed the last game through suspension that was a rather lazy ball for him Marquez but Argentina were able to make nothing from it so sorry will belt it from one side of the field to the other nicely taken down by guardado here's a talented player he got injured in the last match but he's good on the ball and he's fed it over to the left side for Salcido's cross Maxi Rodriguez goes down the referee will blow the whistle for just about I think it is the first free kick it is the first free kick of the match coming in the fifth minute Bautista's challenge there on the Angel Di Maria blowing everybody's papers around in the stadium tonight difficult conditions to master for everybody and referee Rossetti wants some paper removed from the goal mouth Perez will oblige is going to hold up proceedings for a moment or two have a year Geary there in his second stint as the Mexican coach had to take over after a disappointing set of results under svenger and Ericsson but he steered the team through to the finals their 14th World Cup finals Mexico Argentina won more than that well this is work that Perez could do without not sure it's utterly necessary on the fussy from the referee foreign [Applause] just a reminder for you of course that if after 90 minutes the scores are level then we have 30 minutes of extra time if the scores remain level we'll get the first penalty Shoot Out of This World Cup in by Angel Di Maria to have you mashirano you never know where Messi is going to pop up and he did there there'll be a forward run from iguain [Music] the good hat-trick he scored here against Korea Republic [Music] in the right place at the right time [Music] Mexico will advance Perez [Music] foreign either right back or Center back and Marquez slots in just in front of them he's doing that tonight the ball there gives Messi an opportunity to run to the edge of the area it is Lionel Messi can you get the shot through it is blocked first time Salcido came across Messi will get a second opportunity has been much talk in the papers about when he's going to get his first goal of this World Cup not if the break is on for dos Santos who's a very very nimble Marquez takes over the responsibilities in Center Midfield across to guardado taken down in one had to come off at half time in the last game against Uruguay gordado and they missed him torado juanado foreign try comes back off the crossbar with goalkeeper Romero beaten terrific try as well Salcido thrashing it across there and then it's coming to the other end with Carlos teves immediately and Tevis Beyond one can he get Beyond two it is Tevis and he runs out of options and area here which to maneuver how could I do already impressive in these early moments of the ball of the game and he's got De Santos coming to the edge of that 18-yard zone might check around don't say here delivers for the shorts It's oh how close was that from the left foot you've got adult from Batista would have directed it Beyond Romero and he wouldn't have had a prayer that's flash by the upright Mexico were a whisker away from the lead that was the earlier try that flooded and left the crossbar shaking from Salcedo Salcido's right boots he's on a regular goal scorer he got one of the confederations cup four years ago in Germany five years ago now and Maradona will not ever liked what he saw in those two minutes Mexico unlucky on two occasions they've settled they've settled into the match surely a free-kick against terrado who has a yellow card to his name and another yellow will of course put him out of the quarterfinal uh referee Rosetti is coming to remind him of that one two and one more you're out of the next match which would be against Germany the foul was on Lionel Messi but torados conceded a number of free kicks in this world cup and the odds are probably heavily against him avoiding that yellow card Messi comes back for more into the wider position with eight so ten minutes played Neil nil the score in soccer City this time it's uh mashirano foulomb Bautista Bautista who missed the last two World Cup finals because he had a round with the coach beforehand he's actually at around with this managiri as well but he's let him off this time and picked him for the first time [Music] he's gonna come back Rodrigo way and a little bit of lacks defending there from The Defenders of Mexico almost let Tevis in he's the sort who can take advantage Juarez no game of Franco in attack for Mexico tonight I don't know whether it was kidology or what before the game but Maradona said he didn't want Franco to play this is her teevers sliding it through here Beyond higuaine ah terrific win on the ball from a terrific player in Messi and he goes beyond people so easily it is messy teeing himself up for the shot chipping the keeper well it's an attempted chip and palm down he's in the mood it was subtle but uh it didn't have enough severity in the shot to beat Perez ain't safe for Argentina just ahead in terms of possession 53 to 47. it was back in 2004 that Mexico last defeated Argentina and that was in the copper America Argentina prevailed in their two previous World Cup meetings this is a huge punt across there if he takes this round he might be in but the defender who comes back is Salcido and does well to prevent Higuain even getting a shot through terrific long ball they can mix it up short long always dangerous for to iguane foiled by Salcido's knee they have their first corner and it is the first corner of the match one of those up for it Demi kalis who scored in the last game against the Greeks ain't say he's got to go to his name as well so the goals do not just come from attacking players for Argentina here's the one for them here no it's headed away but it thumped back in and wide angle D Maria we've got the winning goal in the Olympic Final in Beijing against Nigeria two years ago the little flick took it no nearer the net Claire's already warming up on the touchline probably just to keep warm but yeah look at the reorganization I think there was the word I'm seeking that's what we're trying to find only a slight for Santos the ball in is good chance for Mexico and the shot is driven wide but it's impressive approach play again from the Mexicans who have shown a real willingness out of a go at goal straight away and that's exactly what happened there some of the approach play of the Mexicans has been delightful and then there's here not a long way off range so Alex Ferguson will be watching with interest his new six million pound signing and Anders from the shivas club in Guadalajara movement off the ball is something you always associate with Argentina they're so good at that now on the ball is it ain't say he has Di Maria on the outside so that's not the sort of ball that they were looking for from Tevez 26 now Carlos Tevez he scored a World Cup goal four years ago against Serbia and Montenegro it's the only one of on his CV so far [Music] Romero the goalkeeper who is a member of the under-20u World Cup Winning Side three years ago in Canada they don't all make it through to senior level and windfall International Council but Romero has done is Demi kalis who made a horrible mistake in the game against Korea here which enabled them to get a goal just before the interval he's sort of made up for that with his goal in the last match [Applause] unless he tries to wriggle between two I wonder how many free kicks Lionel Messi has won in this free cup three uh World Cup already [Applause] not quite as many as yasuki Honda of Japan apparently he's the most foul player in the world cup but Messi won't be far behind and he fixes his steer on the ball and he will see five blue and white striped shirts up ahead of him but they uh played short to begin with they always believe he's gonna go beyond players how did he come through that one Di Maria and apologies if the wind defects are coming through the microphones onto your screens but it is a very blustery as I intimated here players coping fairly well with it so far but it's never a good element ain't say Di Maria he was another one who played in that world under 20 Championship wins Angel Di Maria so was maxia Rodriguez long ferment say [Music] guardado leads Mexico forward because Juarez and now dos Santos Marquez has got a goal in this world cup here in the opening game against South Africa tarado didn't think of the shot because he really does have a shot Gerardo terrado it's not his game she's him again and he'll surely spread it down the right touchline to Juarez who gets his lines all mixed up with dos Santos Achilles who plays for Bayern Munich the famous German club that reached the Champions League final in May I want to lose out to Inter Milan because Walter Samwell is of course on the opposition side but on the bench tonight [Applause] they're fighting their time over this Attack Just retention of the ball the priority have succeeded in that they've gone nowhere the diesel and then say well I don't think we're going to have the glut of goals that uh those fans enjoyed in the Germany England game this afternoon well some enjoyed some certainly didn't and uh Giovanni Dos Santos getting a word of encouragement and advice from Javier the 51 year old coach Argentina's free kick thank you Maria tries to get the benefit of the Ricochet of Juarez this is Dos Santos though wriggles Beyond Luana passing it around nicely again and Anders edge of the area this was s by ants I attractive all the way across from the left back position the referee close to that no foul possession retained well actually around or the captain of Argentina [Music] Maria [Applause] [Music] messing and picks up the ball in the center circle and uh mesmerizes opposition on his way towards the opposition goal this is Tevez [Music] looking for an eye of the needle into the wider position with maxi rodriggs a good backtracking by guardado directing the ball away from otamendi [Applause] Rodriguez you've got the winning goal against Mexico four years ago famous girl a brilliant goal it was as well in a 2-1 success for the South Americans who will have to defend here now as Marquez Lopes forward in that familiar style of his but it's a bad ball and it might just give iguane something to work off well they didn't 20 minutes played Argentina nil Mexico nil Argentina by the way looking to extend their best sequence of results since 1998 they've won their last eight matches their last defeat coming against Spain in November by two goals to one last November Gabriel ain't say [Applause] back for Nicholas badiso Blazers cup Club football in uh delightful city of Rome Tevez Mexico a marking well covering well defending in depth I'm making up for a lack of possession they Trail 57-43 on that count allowing demi-cales over the halfway line same player gets a second touch in the move brought into it he ain't say Maria will clip it in towards ain't say who's taking it down well he turned and checked and was well covered by Marquez who bundled him over it's a goal kick [Music] what a good player Raphael Marquez has been for Mexico now over 12 years featured in the confederations cup success of 1999 when they won the final 4-3 against Brazil in the Azteca Stadium in front of a crowd of a hundred and fourteen thousand what a day that was [Music] not a great deal of gold mouth action for Oscar Perez and Sergio Romero to worry about but Mexico have struck the Argentine crossbar I've been very very close with one of the shots in the wake of that effort and they're moving forward now torado that's a weak Bash from terado a gift forensei nothing happening very quickly it's the sort of game that will change when there is a goal the question of when that goal comes Marcus can do he scored following the victory over the French quarters first time eventually get over to that far side [Applause] referee Rossetti who had charge of the game in which Harry kuel was sent off for Australia we were definitely a foul by gordado on uh Messi there yes referee Rosetti and that's Australia Ghana game in rustenburg in which Harry kill was seen to have handled the ball conceded a penalty and was uh dismissed foreign matches where the coaches are were very defensive and didn't want their teams to get beaten obviously but that was the main stress which is NC [Music] actually Rodriguez the ball is good this time and that's uh no foul again the referee says it's a shoulder a good old-fashioned shoulder charge I used to get at school that you don't see very often nowadays thank you but he's found a way into Messi here messy this time and this is the chance for Tevis and surely messy now surely a goal what a strange goal it is but Argentina lead Carlos Tevez is the name on the goal in soccer City Argentina her first Blood against Mexico [Applause] certainly an element of Fortune he is up bouncing about more Diego Delight for Maradona in the world cup and Carlos teves has only his second ever World Cup goal his tenth of his career for his country and this is how he got it involved initially here the keeper Perez couldn't keep hold he was in an offside position there when it was knocked forward by Messi he just flicked his head and the ball ends up in the Mexican net for Argentina to lead another controversial goal but one the South Americans are not complaining about was he offside there the Mexicans came charging back Juarez couldn't keep it out and despite the protest there to the referee's assistant the goal stood [Applause] they're still Consulting mind you is he changing his mind oh it's a tough one this for the referee if he changes his mind there could be Mayhem here the Mexicans are Furious I enjoy a referee Rosetti got a message well the first thing is he needs to get all these players away from surrounding him he's like he's in the old Corral here the goal is given the goal stands well some sympathy for Mexico but referee Rosetti was a really tough call for him but he's having to go back again there is still a trio of Mexican players confronting the referee's assessment on the far side Stefano and Aldi but teves has got the goal if Argentina aren't complaining Mexico certainly are it will be replayed time and time and time again who scored against Serbia and Montenegro in a six nil win four years ago has a goal that makes it one nil in Johannesburg well the goal was scored in the 26th and it were already in the 28th because of all those complaints and now will that change the the murder of the game you fear that one or two Mexicans are going to lose their heads in the captain of all people is the first Marquez he's not had a previous booking in the tournament we certainly deserve one there and that was in the aftermath of the previous incident I'm sure well how much of Messi did he get enough for the referee to give the free kick so uh senior Rossetti continues to attract controversy sending kewell off from Australia and now allowing a goal that Mexico felt was a palpably offside Argentina's eighth goal of these World Cup finals with power to add and they will be a difficult side and a Resolute side for Mexico to break down now and here they are again there's a really up for it now Argentine if they get the second they'll fill the jobs half done [Music] well they do move with Fleet of foot and they've got so many potential goal scorers Tevis has got the one here iguang got a hat-trick here last time we all know message capabilities and on the bench Sergio Aguero Martin Palermo and Diego Milito not about Trio messy still he digs in for the ball that concedes the free Kick this time fell off that is well Maradona was never short of controversy in his footballing life as a player and it continues to pursue matches in which he's involved in the World Cup not blame could be attached to him there Mascherano a little touch on the ball and another free kick for Argentina again against Marquez oh and the coach of Mexico who's not a happy man on that touchline at the moment going towards the fourth official Jerome Damon from South Africa Di Maria here half an hour played it is Argentina then has the ace card foreign [Music] Marquez Salcido this is the 69th match Argentina have played in World Cup fines this is offside there's an irony about that 30 yards out offside when Tevis was not giving offset at about three yards out yes Argentina's 69th World Cup match of which they've won 36. they've scored 121 World Cup finals goals iguain can't direct it to anybody in blue the Alba Celeste much quicker to the ball Argentina there Mascherano is such a key man for them in terms of ball winning this is Maxie rodriggs into Gabrielle Lindsay from live Manchester United of course in fact he's played in England Italy France [Music] Demi kalis and say once more who does have a German father and an Italian mother and his nickname is El Gringo if you thought he was Spanish or Mexican even oh what a horrible mistake lets him in for a second surely what on Earth was the Mexican defense defend there iguain as his fourth goal of the World Cup they've all come in this Stadium which is a light now they'll not get an easier goal in the World Cup than that all smiles down there for Maradona who punches the air the hand of God again but no matter is the goal scoring got at the moment is iguain but what a gift that's horrendous defending and uh a gift he could not turn down Osorio is the guilty party is the happy recipient Argentina two Mexico nil is not yet game said a match but this is another nail in Mexico's coffee Newfield it must be a wonderful sight when the net is there simply to be hit with the ball at your feet so nobody's standing in the way foreign two girls have come in seven minutes in entirely different circumstances the stuffing may have been knocked out of the Mexicans let's see here they come themselves with Juarez well strangely enough it was in this stadium that Argentina in the shape of the Michaelis gifted a goal to Korea Republic that was an even greater gift I think and now the try from distance is fingered Away by Romero Mexico willing to try their luck from distance and Salcido twice he's rattled the crossbar once and he stretched the Argentine goalkeeper this time Mexico you feel have to regain their composure quickly after the concession of that awful second goal they're trying to do exactly that with torado other more goals in this game to come the chance here for dos Santos to cross a telling ball in three Mexicans who wait the delivery [Applause] Donna an Ever more agitated figure down on the touchline I think referee Rosetti will want to get to the dressing room at halftime as well for a rethink officials need breaks just as much as players now in Juarez this is a good Mexican tilt requirements will go beyond uh and say but not be on the second man who came over to help here they go once again the goals appear on the cards every time they move forward now they're broken up and then it's steadied down with guardado defending on that occasion from Osorio has to certainly recover from his error Mexico with a lot to do now oh forget they give the ball away really badly there's a huge gap appearing here if Tevis gets in behind us Oreo it is Chavez those orange boots of his flashing uh and the cross here comes the ball here once again it is a steer away to his safety as far as it got back to cover good job otherwise it was Game set match the Mexicans all over the place defensively and their previous three games they conceded only two goals one here to South Africa a cracking effort from uh shabalala and one in rustenburger a header from Suarez of Uruguay but they've conceded two here in the first 33 minutes the task is considerable if not insurmountable we're on course for Germany against Argentina in Cape Town another former world champion will go home well not the occupying Argentine mines at the moment it's still another eight and a half minutes to go in this half which is turning out so very well for them they might have a third keeper saves it first time and second time it's blocked well a score could be anything at the moment away this time by terrado the good play from Bautista they need a break of some sort Giovanni Dos Santos across there to guardado Hernandez in the center waiting along with Bautista Salcido thought once again about a crack at goal he's had a couple of good ones no more than a throw in but the Mexican defense is living on a knife's edge it's been walking a tightrope in the last few minutes twice they've been exploited it could have been three or four and that's their free kick here Give It Away by mashirano right on the edge of the 18-yard area the foul was on Adolfo Bautista the 31 year old brought in for a taste of World Cup finals football guardado is the one who's lining this one up the young man who plays in Spain with deputivo LA caruna score the winning goal against Angola last month but this is a rather bigger occasion with all due respect to that country Romero is poised guardado will look to either beat him or planted on somebody's head in a green shirt the usual sort of scenario he's floated it too high really disappointing finale [Applause] what can I get a do about this El Vasco the vasque that's his nickname just over seven minutes remaining in this half there will be a couple added on for the response of the Mexicans to the concession of that first goal I'm absolutely surrounded the officials without a case I have to say but it was rather prolonged The Ball statistics are that Argentina lead by two goals Mexico found the only player yellow carded in Marquez but there's a considerable story behind The Script [Music] and eventually there's a very delayed blow on the whistle from referee Rossetti for the foul on Di Maria by Juarez and Di Marie has already tumbled over the touchline so you can receive a treatment from the medical society if he requires it back in 1930 Argentina beat Mexico 6-3 in the very first World Cup finals well they might have been on course for six again here I remember they did score six four years ago against Serbia and Montenegro so when they're in the mood they can be prolific cheer Rodriguez will leave it for Lionel Messi as they seek out a third goal doesn't come to Rodriguez and then when it was put to the edge of the area easily cleared some of the goals have been all too easy that the argentines have scored this time the goalkeeper Perez with a smaller goalkeepers in the world cup at five foot seven Ramsey and sets his team forward with guardado [Music] five minutes before a break Osorio whose hapless mistake led to that second goal that could be so punishing to the Mexican cools [Applause] one other telling statistic is that Argentina have committed only 3 000 in this game to the Mexicans 10. suppose it shows which way the tide is flowing [Music] roaming's a good purpose [Music] the free kick that's why everything's been slowed down to walking pace the free kick count against the Mexicans keeps going up and up they'll be hoping the goal count doesn't go up and up and up as Tevis receives from Messi plays it into that wide position for Maxi the cross is looking good should have been three should certainly have been three from the head of higuaine he has scored from a similar scenario on this pitch but it's over Osorio who's having a sorry time in this half and iguain should have put Argentina three to the good the only thing you could say in his defense he was probably a little misated coming in behind the defender [Music] well I imagine the Mexicans have a defensive coach I think he needs to have a word with a few of them I could have a dressing room lecture oh yeah this is ones who certainly need a break but that was a good interception that was excellent play to release dos Santos he in turn finds Bautista getting there just ahead of Demi kalis swinging one over for uh hands belonging to Romero to grab it [Music] and say but clear as it might say and that was Oreo has to use Giovanni Dos Santos who likes it on the left foot better than the right so that's the way weaves across field still manages to provide some space for a shot from Marquez drill straight into the midriff of goalkeeper Romero Marquez who scored at two World Cup finals he also netted in the match against Argentina in 2006 and scored a year against South Africa Argentina bossing it Salcido for Mexico when they lose the ball they're in trouble but torado intercepts this attempted clearance fires it into the path here [Music] oh you didn't get anywhere at all Juarez Rodriguez [Music] 30 seconds remain in the opening half in Soccer City Argentina delighted with the way the first 45 minutes have gone not yet quite finished but once again the whistle goes in their favor hence taking a crack on the ankle no doubt he'll be up and running again very shortly and we'll be able to inform you as to how much time will be added pain in the back makes you short to Tevis the two combined delightfully uh it was easy for them but uh now there's an opportunity once again there's Salcido is awarded a free kick two minutes of added time I think the spectators will want to go away for a warm drink tonight and a cold and a very windy evening in Johannesburg actually the Soweto on the outskirts guardado trying to give them something to take into the break with a minute and a half to find a goal which would change the tenor of the evening no doubt and maybe Marquez can get through here Juarez the ball is good the chance is there and guardado hustles away and they don't even get the corner Argentina work hard people concentrate on the skillful aspects and their goal scoring there's a chance right on half time and then Andes needed a toe on that and it would have been 2-1 that's all he needed but it got through to Romero and it looks as though Argentina are going to get to the halftime break unscathed and lead by those two goals from Carlos Tevez and Gonzalez [Music] Dorado [Music] NJ gets a good shove in the back for a man unders which he felt was unnecessary what is a mum's game isn't it I don't even know if he's bothered to give the free kick it's been a frustrating half for the Mexicans they were competing nicely they'd hit the Argentine crossbar shoving the back there and it was only a throw in after all that why did he even bother to lecture him we've had 47 minutes of play and we have no more referee Rossetti says let's have half time so Carla Salcido struck the Argentine crossbar before Gonzalo Higuain and Carlos Tevez scored the goals Tevis is the most controversial effort that have given Argentina the advantage here and a very good advantage to take with them as well they've scored nine goals in these World Cup finals in four games the Mexicans have the proverbial mountain to climb in the second half if they're going to come through and the referee is still rushing to separate some very agitated people on the touchline two nil at half time to Argentina oh he will be replacing Adolfo Bautista who's a World Cup has only started this evening and may well it sounds probably just finished it's certainly finished for tonight and Bautista off [Music] and it would be a major surprise now if Mexico were to overcome this Argentina side which is enhancing its reputation as one of the favorites to lift the World Cup of 2010. to another scoreline Tevis the Little Beaver chases Marquez the diesel back to Romero straight from one goalkeeper to the other to Oscar Perez who's at 37 one of the oldest goalkeepers here I'm not sure they will be the first free kick of this half and he's won by Aaron andez and already taken to bring Salcido into play now barrero his first touch of the ball let's see whether he's a good introduction for Aguirre or not guardado once again prayer and he's popped one in here which uh surely took a deflection of somebody it did and out for a Mexican corner and it's their first of the match coming in the first 90 seconds of the second half well we have seen side score goals in the early minutes of the second half I mean just come back after being a couple behind notably the other night Chile did that they were two down to Spain and scored in the first two minutes of the second half can Mexico do the same against Argentina here from Gerardo it's away as far as Salcido he really is trying his luck tonight he's got his sights set doesn't trouble the goalkeeper this time he didn't get a touch off Demi kalis either three Argentine players are warming up down on uh maradona's touchline there one of them is one Sebastian Varon the header from Osorio as a mistake it was that led to that second goal ain't say [Music] the ball didn't go out I can't begin to tell you how cold it is in Johannesburg this evening it was a couple of weeks ago then it seemed to warm up again but uh well it doesn't affect the players but it is a very cold night for the spectators oh that's another wretched piece of Defending from Demi kalis it was on this ground at the other end of the field that he gifted a goal to Korea Republic just before half time in the 4-1 match and what about 10 days ago I suppose it was now Salcido for Mexico encouraged by the era from demigaylist terrado lifting it across barrera's way the swung across there two Defenders go for the same ball and between them Ash of it but it did go clear as far as Rodriguez Salcido there's been a fixture in the National side for seven or eight years now now it's good ado playing to protect the war from Mascherano he's a little bundle of dynamite a nervous energy Maradona originally down on that touch line he always was as a player as a coach he's even more frenetic people love his press conferences and have a clue what he's going to say but he's very listenable unwatchable this should be a steered safely uh Away by Rodriguez who apparently is being watched by Tottenham Hotspur Harry redknappers for Professor liking for Defender Francisco Rodriguez Who currently plays in Holland with PSV Eindhoven Salcido through to guardado this is better but cut out by the defender who was ottomendi should anybody be just joining us the story of the game in a nutshell is Argentina lead by two goals to nil one a distinctly offside goal scored by Carlos Tevez which was allowed to stand I Want A Gifted goal to iguain his fourth of this World Cup but here comesado chance for the shots puts it through instead to Barrera Barrera will cross the ball in disappointingly beyond the reach of anybody in green I really should have done better with this cross hasn't measured it well at all innocuous speak a little bit of Spanish basically he didn't think that was very good in terms of a school report could do better Messi's touch there was Sublime there's a difficult dropping ball in this wind as well and he just simply planted it at the foot of his colleague this is messy down he goes there was no free kick and yet he somehow managed to pick himself up and get the ball again has it Argentina two to the good if they go three it'll be uh time for Mexico to book their flights Marquez has a bang now they wouldn't want to lose Rafael Marquez he's a linchpin of this Mexican side but he's beating the ground here in some discomfort that was a messy getting Beyond Gerardo terrado [Music] bodies all over the place but the game underway again Marquez continuing those trotting away gingerly this is ain't say for Argentina into Mascherano oh it's dangerous here it is Tevez damned again he'll go for goal blinding goal fabulous strike if his first one was debatable his second is delightful Carlos Tevis with one of the goals of the World Cup it lights up the occasion and is fitting for any World Cup finals match Carlos Tevez has taken Argentina surely into the quarterfinals and a meeting with Germany with this Sublime strike and he gets the biggest of hooks from the boss foreign s he checks he gets the Ricochet he lets fly and although Perez he's going across his goal he can't get there and Carlos Tevez lights up Soccer City three nil Argentina good night Mexico [Applause] and in a way I suppose it's um nice for him to have scored a goal of that quality with the first one having been so uh well as I said questionable so it's tevis's night the second half the lights have gone out on Mexico's World Cup and Argentina continued to impress in the World Cup finals of 2010 ten goals they have nobody else has that many [Music] and they can add to that figure as well considerably you feel now there's going to be a real test of character for the Mexicans whether their heads drop I'm not as Envision you know I can't even say it my teeth are chattering in the cold not envisaging a seven like Portugal rattled up against DPR Korea but uh they moved the argentines are in they can go for more a warning to Germany as well funny they scored four today so we've got a suddenly gluttered goals in the World Cup having had a dearth of them earlier Osorio they've won it back rather too easily Mascherano to ain't say Mexico unable to retain possession I think the whistle's gone here because there's an injured player just momentarily Mascherano and I think Gerardo is becoming ever more frustrated and gets a quiet word at least the patted referee Rosetti on the backfield I know mustn't lose their heads the Argentine supporters though are waving their scarves they sense more to come and what promises to be a golden knight in Soccer City for them all right Rosario met by the head of Mascherano well he definitely Rodriguez made it back there for the opponent guardado the United States were eliminated yesterday Honduras of course went out in the first phase of matches and now it would appear that uh Central and North America is losing its last representative Herrera if they come out of this one it'll be one of the World Cup matches of all time but Mexico appeared to be on the verge of going out just thinking ahead to that final on the July the 11th as Salcido puts a ball in here to give his side hope this is certainly not doing the uh the morale of the argentines any help they've scored seven times in Soccer City this is where the finally staged they might lose their possession again here they do temperatures on a hat-trick well defended Juarez got back he saw the danger they were exposed defensively again they're the Mexicans [Music] it's running away from them in all senses this was where he did a job well left foreign Ed whenever Mexico have made a mistake they've been likely to be punished if we keep taking not only to Heritage a little bit from the wrong place it's going to be interesting the way Argentina play now they could coast and just pass the ball around and not expect too much energy I suppose bearing in mind the next game which will come up against Germany on July the third in Cape Town assuming nothing Sensational happens here or they could go for more goals seems to me that that is the way they like to play I'd be surprised funnily enough if Maradona doesn't make one or two alterations though and give opportunities to either Aguero or Milito or Palermo in particular as Strikers all Strikers love to come on where there might be more goals in the offing like now for example the ball is across it gets tied up between the feet and oh it's ushered back to the keeper Perez just in the nick of time they're living scarily back there severeign foreign could have been five or six already consumer performance from the south Americans [Music] [Music] oh that's a absolutely blistering drive from a man in form Carlos Tevez he had a super season with Manchester City in the English Premier League and he's having a super World Cup oh how we like that oh no he didn't they're often running again it's one of the lacks that bit of play there from Argentina fully says come on lift it again he's so passionate about his country I guess foreign to crack open this Argentine side she's playing ominously well torado a really poorly measured pass and that's the result Guillermo Franco preparing for some action for Mexico the West Ham United Striker who was actually born in Argentina used to play for San Lorenzo in Buenos Aires and now plays for uh the English Club West Ham United he's about to come on they need a goal or two guardado could provide one for them yes he's past the first line of defense and past the second done really well and tries to catch the goalkeeper out at his near post probably needed to pull it back into the six yard Zone well if it comes off it looks brilliant very difficult from there well Argentina we'd hate to concede a goal now the only one they have conceded in four games was the one here to Korea Republic foreign foreign Ardo who will crack one in too high they've had plenty of opportunities to shoot from distance and apart from the Salcido effort which came thundering down off the crossbar they've been wayward they were now applied Argentina is on track [Music] guardado is the player who has been relieved of his duties by Guillermo Franco [Music] three nil Argentina in front Marquez hits it straight against Messi the rebound carries the ball to iguain and for once can't find anybody in the blue shirt [Applause] Giovanni Dos Santos the passing breaks down again and this little Terrier Tevis is on his game he's on a hat-trick as well nipped in the bud but they're at full stretch here Mexico with dos Santos once more the man in possession and then cross into the wider position for Salcido he'll Advance he may try his luck again he's had a few goes he does and Romero thinks it out for a corner well Salcido cannot be faulted today for his efforts at goal he's generally he worked the goalkeeper he does have six goals in his career for his country has never stopped running and working and trying to win the ball as well as scoring twice tonight but air is crossed this time the header is a good one but it's planted a foot over the crossbar Hernandez foreign which would give a have given Mexico a glimmer of hope he's not the tallest is he having unders the 22 year old but he was up for that one scored a couple of goals recently Against The Gambia and one against Netherlands and of course he got one here in these World Cup finals as well the first in that two-nil successor against France time ABS away and Mexico's World Cup Ebbs away it will be for the uh fifth time in a row that they will have lost at this stage as uh Argentina don't mind conceding Corners that's what they do again here to quell another Mexican ambition ain't say this time [Music] corner from Barrera foreign [Music] trying to win the ball spins away of him and out for the throw to the South American Nation 84 377 in Soccer City enjoying Argentina's performance truth it's been rather too easy for them since they got that first goal but when you look back at it I'm sure the Mexicans will say the game could have been so so different foreign for Mexico the easy interception from uttamendi there's a new name to many folkies who are playing here tonight ahead of Gutierrez with Walter Samwell still injured Higuain Takes a Tumble but no fault attached to the defender Rodriguez there lovely ball from one side of the field to the other to Barrera trying his luck on this side for a change he is normally a right winger when he pulls it back it's to torado the Argentine defense coming out is one here and the final clearance was from Demi kalis not to back in across vienne and Anders it does do well in the Aero I think he's only about five foot eight five foot nine anandez if that but he gets up well 25 minutes remaining another crucial match in the round of 16. FIFA World Cup 2010 continues to produce some scintillating football from South American nations Salcido's header that will take the ball out Brazil of course topped their group Argentina top of group b as well Paraguay making it through Chile getting through the other evening in the same group as Spain and Uruguay already into the last eight as well and it's looking as though that's where Argentina are heading foreign [Music] not seen much of Argentina as an attacking Force since tevis's terrific second goal and their third but they are conserving some energy [Music] and just going through the motions really in many ways they have this free kick they will try and score the odd goal more I'm sure on a little foreign Ford and he's going to bring Juan Sebastian Verona I think [Music] oh nearly another mistake the ball back by Rodriguez almost invited higuaine in and we're now good he's at Taking Chances when he gets them wide from Osorio to Barrera Los Santos for Salcido well they probably do deserve a goal because they're plugging away they've forced some shots they're looking to get one now maybe with the Santos on the left foot Giovanni Dos Santos can he do a Carlos Tevez I can't even get the shot through soundly defended once again [Music] Rodriguez the back passes cut off he does the right thing in transferring it over to The Far Side probably to find a way through salcided as well to keep that ball in check and then to bring terado into play it's Square uh his first touch was heavy and it just enables Argentina to come away unscathed once more and to have a free kick which will mean Varon can come on for Argentina he's not too much action in this world cup he started the first game had a slight niggle and Carlos Tevis shakes his head as if to say why am I being brought off I've scored two goals that was his first one questionable to say the least this was his second one unquestionably one of the best World Cup goals of these finals and he gets a huge hug from Diego Maradona so Trevor's relieved by another fine talent in Juan Sebastian Veron plays his Club football in Argentina with the students these days he led them to the World Club Championship final and he's a generous man he's just paid by himself for the building of a gym at the estudiantis club built on the lines of inter milanes he of course used to play in Milan dos Santos it's good they're letting them play a little bit here now and Salcido checks inside goes outside flings it across it flicks away off ahead it's stabbed back in was that over the line the flag stays down for the second time today we have a controversial incident which will lead to calls for goal line technology I imagine more of that in a moment Salcido tries a different Avenue and hits it straight against Maxi Rodrigues then iguane is away not very quickly way van with his first touch of the ball foreign Argentina don't really like playing this way they prefer to have attacking moves and try and create scoring chances they're more containing right now Romero's long ball met by Marquez well earlier today England had a goal ruled out when Frank Lampard shot cannon down off the crossbar against Germany look to most observers as though it should have been a goal it was not given about a moment ago Mexico were in a situation where they were claiming one and the flag stayed down [Music] Osorio Juarez easily picked out they have it back again already with Juarez tiny little player who's in the uh World under 17 championship winning team in Peru a few years ago up to the edge of the area good clever plan and is that is a super strike from a young Superstar who is making his name in this game he's destined for Manchester United next season he's given Mexico a glimmer of hope and we've had a glimpse of her rare Talent here Javier Hernandez turns the defender Demi kalis and thrashes his shots over the head of goalkeeper Romero into the Argentina net and Mexico has a goal they deserve his second World Cup finals goal marked the name Javier Hernandez Argentina three Mexico one is there a late twist in the tail in Soccer City they've 19 minutes yet in which to fight back and Argentina has just conceded only its second goal in four games but how well Hernandez did there to turn Demi kalis and thrash that shot past the helpless Romero you might just wake Argentina up a bit they've been slumbering in the last few minutes the Run eager to get to the ball first can't do so such an athlete one Sebastian Veron seems to amble through games the great long strides [Music] well let's give an Argentina something to think about is that I don't think Maradona will be unduly alarmed just yet but if they get a second goal who knows serado Mexico's uh passengers perked up as well in the last few minutes but Argentina have stopped playing that's the the difference torado again checking inside Verona feeding Juarez who's taking up a difference in an intelligent position in the last few minutes more Central one on one no foul good defending from Marquez no way goes up well it was a an attempted pass there from Franco that almost instigated a dangerous Mexican move Geary will still have some belief on that touchline commit any more errors that's the problem for Mexico there's still two goals behind but having much much more of the ball all of a sudden they've got it back to almost 50 50. but this little fella Juarez has been influential so is torado and now it's Salcido also applies that the PSV Eindhoven Club showed too much of the ball to the opponent there so undoubtedly Argentina lost it a little bit with the way they've changed in the last few minutes the way they've stopped playing maybe they'll play again now with Messi on Beyond one on Beyond two Steely girls Lionel Messi can't feed it through Higuain had made the run for him the one thing the crowd here in Johannesburg would love to see I'm sure is a girl from Messi sure he'd love to see it as well flying into action with Giovanni Dos Santos now Messi the it got past three Mexican players took on a bit too much there how much better defending from Marquez that time Salcido's up and running he's fully running as his fella but but uh just brushes off his shin and out he's really giving it a good go though Carlos Salcido at left back he turned professional at the age of 20 having earned his money in the carpentry trade [Music] still 3-1 Argentina in front exactly 15 minutes remaining are there more goals on the horizon for Gonzalo Higuain ottomendi let's make good progress down the touch line and as the ball goes out over the touch over the sideline he'll get the free kick for the trip well uh not gonna Rush this that's the situation it doesn't look as though we're going to have a extra time as they did last night of course was meant for a very late night for those going from rustenburg Messi again he digs in again he comes out with the ball I'm watching how he does do that Varan pokes the ball sideways but only into the path of Giovanni Dos Santos who loses it Dr Mendy has it once again Veron has it again he's having plenty of touches of the ball in these early phases of his match tonight give him some playing time Argentina looking to take the steam out of Mexico that they might have built up as a result of anandez's goal this one could get through dangerous well spotted by Perez down on the touch line Horas Gutierrez prepares for some action as well the Newcastle United player who plays for his club team was a left-sided Winger and for his country there's a right fullback I'm not quite sure how that works but that's the way it is Rodriguez stepped out to win it for Mexico now they move forward but when it's lost the dangerous straight away here with Messi the ball seemingly tight to that left boot of his Mascherano allowed to get out as far as and say good moments around the edge of that 18-yard box nipped in the bud sharply Salcido really excited the crowd with his goal is there more excitement on the count here from Argentina Mexicans are surrounding Messi every time he's near the ball at the moment the departure of Tevis has a changed the course of the game as well and Mexico setting themselves up there but Mascherano should surely take it away here but Mexico still with four five men back not committing everybody to attack Rodriguez played last season for Liverpool having left Atletico Madrid I know Gutierrez will come on taking over from the Maria he hasn't seen his number go up yet he has now so Angel Di Maria gets a rest it'll be interesting to see how they reshape here with the arrival of Gutierrez a little long-haired figure Argentina foreign just 11 minutes on the clock Veron Clips a free kick in there that looked like a big Wayne was probably being pulled back but the referee was not interested Osorio is on the ball for Mexico they've had much of the ball in this half Marquez strolls over halfway I went back to go forwards as they do now with Salcido he actually deserves a goal tonight to sell Cedar the number of efforts he's had for a fullback off ottomendi out for a Mexican corner just their fourth of the night Marquez has played more games in the world cup than anybody else from Mexico 12 times now oh the balling is good and the scramble is effective but there was danger there to the Mexican net and they really have lost it in the last few minutes before the Hernandez goal aim says the player clutching his face in here I'm not quite sure why but we might find out from this he's more charged in the back really by Marquez unless he's grazed his face going down nice little Sideline Story to one of the Mexican players Bautista the one who's gone off he actually entered a competition before the finals he won guess what two tickets to go to the World Cup finals he was already coming he's a member of the squad I'm sure he found somebody to give them away to [Music] well things seems to have calmed down after if you may remember in the aftermath of the first Tevez goal the Mexicans were infuriated and They Carried that Fury into uh half time where there was a bit of unseemly conduct on the touchline now Argentina have three forward but they've lost the way they've suddenly stopped passing the ball impressively giving it back to the Mexicans letting them come at them as Osorio does now in company with terrado then with Juarez now with Salcido the likes of uh Juarez though and Vela and Dos Santos really are the future for Mexico has gone out but their World Cup campaign seems to be drawing to an end despite that encouraging goal from Javier Hernandez he's another for the future of course and it would appear that maradona's Argentina are heading for the last eight and for Cape Town and a meeting with Germany hopefully played more times for Argentina than Maradona in the World Cup now he's proving himself as a coach others have done the same of course Daniel passarella noticeably notably Giovanni Dos Santos always wanted on the left foot for uh expect him to come in field if he gets another chance here foreign Strokes it in field full stretch it's Away by Maxi Rodriguez I'll still they try with Franco that will be a corner Demi Kaley's marking Guillermo Franco who has scored a number of times for Mexico eight times in all he'd love to score against the country where he was born foreign [Applause] [Music] points on a rugby field nothing for it on a football pitch [Applause] Argentina three Mexico win and Argentina inexorably march on towards a place in the last eight in South Africa it'll drop here for Messi it should open up for him well it was the sort of situation he usually Revels in he's had to bring Gutierrez into play and he will lose the possession well not even Messi seemed interested in going for goal there I've only scored 47 times for Barcelona last year in Europe well brought down by Salcido he's had a good game torados the real Workhorse in the Midfield [Music] well Messi's got the free kick but again he didn't look too urgents about anything there messy I think he's just waiting for the final whistle wants to get back to the warmth of the dressing room on a bitterly cold evening in Johannesburg [Music] ottomendi you know he's encouraged to go in field and then tickle it out to Rodriguez foreign I think although maradona's just flung his arms out as if to say himself what are they playing at here I think it's a touch of cramp for maxill Rodriguez and the referee Rossetti says uh well he's a hospital manager so he knows all about stretcher cases and that's what he's asking for here a stretchabara to take Maxi Rodriguez off whether Maradona will bother with bringing on a substitute I'm not sure we see here the goal from Hernandez which gave an inkling of Hope to Mexico when it came on 71 minutes and he executed it finally in the end Rodriguez walks away he will play no further part because the substitutes bench is active there will be a replacement coming on the player summative they almost gave that away and Hernandez is on his way down the center Hockley pursued has to check back but he feeds it into Giovanni Dos Santos wider now Juarez they're going nowhere Salcido the inevitable final shot to Wayward one so Pastore for Argentina is coming on with Rodriguez having gone off with cramped foreign [Music] gives everybody a hug and uh Javier Pastore who plays in Italy with Palermo is really a new name on the scene a midfielder who was uncapped at the time the squad was announced he's since got a couple of caps and now he finds himself playing in the World Cup finals in Johannesburg with three and a half minutes remaining it's reassured I reckon I think it was assured for the moment Tevez blasted that shot time to the Mexican net for his second and Argentina's third goal in the early phases of this half although they've had a lot of the ball try as they might Mexico I haven't really conjured up in enough chances for themselves Romero hasn't really had a lot of safes to make he might have one now no again it's offbeam and Sergio Romero that though he has conceded has uh just had uh how many shots to save half a dozen really referee Rosetti is having to have sharp words here with the Nicholas badiso and with Guillermo Franco players always frustrated as their World Cup comes towards its conclusion Argentina are going to march on and that should be a terrific occasion in Cape Town when they confront Germany [Music] this one torado finds his man Center Midfield when they give it away I encourage Argentina forward through iguain well for the neutrals a Mexican girl would give them a grandstand finish Argentina Stringer back line of four right across the field and another bank of four in front of them as well so they've got to get through eight players here to score a second goal that's the idea for Juarez for Osorio which way is he going [Music] now Australia will trying to pull one across which is uh comfortably stopped by Romero just able to pick it up like a cricket Fields when on the boundary so our Geary's campaign has won its course container uh destined for a nice trip down to Cape Town it's probably his last World Cup he would say the same for Marquez I suppose and quarterback Blanco's not come on this evening [Music] thank you Diego just John Cena for the ball which is back in Argentine possession oh Messi's even taking his eye of it he's stopped playing about 15 minutes ago did Lionel Messi he really hasn't been interested not that they've needed him to be nice little balls around the edge of the area and then Messi does take one on the chest but the whistle is already gone angler bodies just outside the 18-yard Zone here Franco's going to get another talking to I think he's second in a few minutes for the challenge on the same man but diesel and that's the 90 minutes played here in Soccer City and the fourth official tells us that we have three more to go through and here is a Pastore on the ball and winning a free kick for his country Intelligence on the boards very tall for a Midfield player six feet two it only has some skill level and he's induced the free kick out of tarado and uh interestingly Argentina aren't bothering to send a single player up for it 35 fouls in this game and 25 committed by Mexico now Argentina well they will just have one money going in the Penalty Box fairly predictable outcome as we start to see the cream come to the top In This World Cup Germany through earlier in the day now Argentina Uruguay of course went through yesterday and so did Garner so it's great that Africa still has a representation in the last eight Wendy said he got a bang on the lip there for his troubles from terado caught by the elbow messy short messy again into the area dribbling through still little messy he still can't get a goal no matter how he tries Lionel Messi can't find the back of the net at the moment and he's Beyond Marquez he's Beyond terrado it's going for the top corner until Perez reacts perfectly 4-1 would somehow have summed up the night probably a more realistic score line to be fair Argentina have been that much Superior and it would have been a goal that he would have cherished himself foreign [Music] would be a quite ridiculous score line to be honest he's offside anyways Franco so it's probably his last World Cup as well Franco at the age of uh 33 [Music] Argentina have made it through the result has never been in doubt from the moment they got their first goal they've triumphed here by three goals to one against a Mexican side that was second best maradona's March continues Argentina go through to meet Germany in Cape Town on the 3rd of July and deservedly so as well foreign there were two goals for Carlos teves and there was a single goal as well tonight for Gonzalo iguain who is now the top scorer in these World Cup finals of 2010. job done for the South Americans who continue to enjoy themselves here in the World Cup finals of 2010 in South Africa here he can only reflect on the quality of the goals that they conceded the first one was more than debatable Tevis in an offside position the second was a gift the third was Unstoppable so at the end of this night in Soccer City Argentina triumph over Mexico by three goals to one oh
