Argentina can't miss a WC as the league like qualification gives a lot of time to make up for blunders.

That's really very true... although a lot of people regard Holland as a big team. I'm not sure of that though, which is why I asked Sven. There was this statement in Germany that they've not beaten a big team since they won the 1996 Euro (for a while they had not beaten a European team in a tournament since that final... that was broken in 2006). I wanted to know the list of teams people have in mind. (Technically the ARG match in 2006 was a draw as was the Italy one) -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

I only started watching the World Cup in 1990. Since then (and it may not be saying much), the 2006 side has been the best Argentine team I've seen. |
