Blogging live from the 2008 Summer Olympics Games in Beijing PEKIN China.
Absolutely, Messi’s game, 3 goals to none !!!!!
Both teams with 4 to 5 defenders guarding the goal close “man to man” double team on Lionel Messi and a closely guarded Ronaldinho.
Argentina and Brazil are both watching over the other’s winning keys now in order to cuff later. Almost 70% of the half was being played in midfield, with a slight advantage to the tango boys, who seemed to be a bit more special on the personal skills level
Blue and white striped jerseys are delivering every ball to Messi, who manages the distribution and planning, aided by Riquelme, the holder of legendary number 10, that once belonged to Diego Armando Maradona, who by the way, was in the VIP section applauding his national players.
As for Brazilian coach Dunga who was betting on keeping Pato on the bench seats as an additional weapon to use in the last minutes, it was definitely a tensed period with Argentina missing on 2 dangerous occasions.
Brazil had its turn too, but always lacking in number of attackers to finish the ball, and such was the case for the Tangos. As mentioned before, both Southern betting on defense to launch a successful attack.
Brazil has the best offensive line up in
Beijing’s Olympics with 11 goals, and
The best defense with 0 goals brought home
In all 4 games played.
The 2nd half was a disaster for the Selacao despite the multitude of substitutions, with an obviously better Tango team, scoring 3 goals, to end the yellow crawl towards gold, and to add a new humiliation on Dunga’s team, that had been heavily criticized in the press and sports news.
Pounding all odds and expectations, Argentina’s appetite for scoring was endless, Aguero hitting in the opening (52nd minute), doubled the score 5 minutes later.
Selacao selection unable to stop Messi’s danger along with Riquelme and friends, earned 2 red cards after Riquelme’s penalty (3rd goal-78th minute) coming to finish over the hopes of Ronaldinho who can still fight for a bronze medal.
