Argintina turned on the style today, flexing their offensive muscle against South Korea.

Maradonna has been critisized for his managing ability, constantly changing his tactics and many people had sometihng to say about his team selection, especially his decision to take Gutierrez, but he could certainly hold his head up high after todays performance.

A dream semi final could be on the cards for Spain v Argentina, but that is still quite some way away yet.

South Korea was never going to be a favourite in this match but they did show some urgency, and in the final minutes of the first half managed to pull one back. Some sloppy play by Argentina gave a South Korea team an easy opportunity to get back into it. However, the scond half failed to see South Korea back come back into the game, and Argentina killed off the game.

Gonzalo Higuain came of age in this game gett the first hatrick of the World Cup, and also the top scorer so far of the competition.
