| World Cup: Argentina Crushes Serbia-Montenegro 6-0 GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany (AP) -- Two-time champion Argentina is starting to sense something special.
Jubilant cries of "Ole, Ole" and "AR-gen-tina, AR-gen-tina" were deafening Friday in FC Schalke's closed-roof stadium, where Argentina routed Serbia-Montenegro 6-0 -- the most lopsided game so far in the World Cup.
It's shocking," Serbia-Montenegro coach Ilija Petkovic said of the loss, the worst for the Balkan nation since the former Yugoslavia fell 6-1 to Uruguay in the semifinals of the first World Cup in 1930.
Argentina didn't just score goals Friday, it created several masterpieces.
"When everyone does it together, it's like that," Tevez said.
Tevez, only 22 and a coming star with the 18-year-old Messi, praised the teamwork -- the deft passes and perfectly timed shots. With only four players back from the 2002 team -- humiliated in a first-round ouster -- this side is young and a pure product of coach Jose Pekerman. Seventeen of the 23-man team played for Pekerman when he coached Argentina to three World Youth championships: 1995, '97 and 2001. Wow!...I missed this one...should have set my DVR and the Telemundo has the boring Mexico-Angola game on...six goals out of Argentina!...Personally I thought the team was way too young...but, hey, I was wrong. Fantastic game for them. |
