So we saw the Real Riqelme , this guy is awesome , he created the two winning chances .
It's scary cos Aimar and Messi is not even playing .
Oh ya , this group is Group Of Death , each team is slashing each team's throat to get to the next phase .
Therein lies the depth of the Argentinian squad. They can afford to rest Aimar and Messi, the two players that could have walked into many first XI.
I have seen Ivory Coast play in the pre-WC friendlies and they are zippy and confident. Thought they could have at least forced a draw.
