The Argentinian Pibes have stamped their class on this game.
80′ : Sergio Aguero lays a perfect pass with Higuain finishing off.
76′ : Messi before that mesmerizing the South Koreans with Sungryong saving his shot by sticking his leg out. The rebound comes back to Messi who crosses and the ball hits the upright and trickles underneath the Korean goalie for the lurking Higuain to score the simplest tap in.
Argentina has played hands down the most attractive football in this World Cup even as their defense has looked shaky on occasion. Martin Demichelis seems to suffer from lapses in concentration. Heinze too has his moments.

After the own goal, My wife, a Korean, couldn’t stand to watch and instead left for work. And not that it mattered that much, but Higuain was clearly offside on the 3rd goal. The Koreans will be hoping for a scoreless draw in the Nigeria v Greece match I would think.
Kev, the Koreans are still better off even though Greece won today- both they and Greece are on par with a -1 goal differential. That is because they’ve scored more goals, which is a tie breaker. So your wife should not lose hope. I definitely fancy Korea against Nigeria than Greece against Argentina.
