Brazil, without doing much about the field, sealed their qualification for the World Cup after beating South Africa to Argentina with serious defensive errors.
The Battle of Rosario, Argentina and renamed in the momentous clash against Brazil, arrived laden with emotions and why not say so, of contradictions. The expectation that emerge around this game is well contrasted, but if you add the local drama we qualified for the 2010 World Cup and above all, Brazil will visit with a smile from ear to ear (today is first and got the ticket to South Africa), agitation multiplies. But something creaking in the Argentina-Brazil. The two federations have decided to sit on the bench two players insignia of the past. Dunga, who lifted the World Cup in '94, and Maradona, did the same in 86. But its good performance on the court, equity deployed in football in recent times by both combined. Still, Dunga has managed to divert attention to the Confederations Cup and has already done the homework for the championship in 2010 but the game and the show is one of the remaining subjects.
Worse is going to Maradona who has already suffered serious rebuke (in Bolivia lost 6-1) and jumped
Gigante chiquito
Arroyito field with a pressing need for the triumph but a lifeline after two hours to get rid Colombia before its pursuer immediately Ecuador and Peru do the same against Uruguay. Still, the Argentineans did not want to speculate and 40 seconds of game disposed of first arrival following a robbery in the midfield and the first touch, the locals managed the corner and the first notice. The start was a nightmare for Dunga. Drowning in his own area, behind Brazilian merely break the ball up. It was time to strike the first blow and it was clear Veron.
The gal looked
Brujita becoming the best pawn on the board. His strength was spread on Messi and colleagues as evidence was the two opportunities which it provided before the 18th minute. Argentina already had a connection Veron-Messi and Brazil, without any connection, merely to observe, to play with fire and expect a windfall. And what if it came. Although rather it was a stroke of luck but a series of spins that can cost a ticket to South Africa. And is that without doing virtually nothing, Brazil found itself with two goals in six minutes and two by defensive mistakes. The first came from a lack launched by Elano that Luisao, incomprehensibly unmarked, headed in the opposite pole without Andujar could do anything. And the half hour mark the Argentine goal turned the ball inside the area and no central area, the Sevilla's Luis Fabiano Maradona left the gaping, disoriented and desperate.
Without burning a single cartridge, Brazil already had what he wanted. He was the protagonist of a film that would hang perfectly. No news from Kaka or Robinho, Dunga left the play to take advantage of unique opportunities. And Argentina, without direction or defense application, could only intimidate Julius Caesar before the break with a shot from Maxi but Inter keeper ruined the occasion.
Sports for each side With a play based on that the first goal but with a different end, the rest arrived at Rosario. After fifteen minutes of conversation, Maradona decided to put up with more powder entry by Maxi Agüero but the coach did not study how to connect with them from midfield. It is so conspicuous by its quantity and quality up as inexplicable lack of creativity in the middle. And thank goodness today Veron was plugged ... As in the first half, Argentina was still the owner of the leather but unable to threaten the visitors goal. Until the endowment had enough and took a left-footed drive from thirty yards to remove the cobwebs of the goal of Julius Caesar and do the fans dream of
Giant Arroyito. But in this film still had to appear Kaka. The museum was set aside until the 66th minute to prove once again that treasures quality in their boots with a pass to the gap left alone to Luis Fabiano for Brazil's nine batiera to Andujar with a subtle Vaseline and close the classification of Brazil, the company will have to fight hard today peder Argentina after
the Battle of Rosario and without its rival hit a shot.
