Argentina versus Mexico in FIFA World Cup Wagering Odds

No squad has been as extraordinary in the course of the 2010 World Cup probabilities online betting competition as Argentina and no squad has been more fun to watch. Ironically, the Argentine team arrived at the South African World Cup online sports betting competition with all kinds of question marks dangling above its head and, in fact, barely even qualified for the World Cup probabilities competition in the first place.

But credit and apologies to the craziest SOB to ever coach a World Cup squad, Maradona, because his squad is playing light out right now.

After torching its Group B competition for 3 victories in 3 games and scoring 7 goals along the way this squad is the closest thing to soccer gambling juggernaut as you’ll find in the World Cup gambling action right now.

The Mexicans ought to be pitied.

Mexico has a very great looking squad in its own right and vs almost any other squad on this side of the World Cup probabilities draw they would have had a healthy shot and might even make a great underdog pick. It is tough to pinpoint a single weakness, and the all-around play of this squad is extraordinary. In 1 of the hardest groups in the World Cup betting action, Group A, this squad lost a tough 1-0 decision to Uruguay in the final competition but was otherwise extraordinary.

This squad should have been at its best when it took on Argentina but sadly it wasn’t enough to get by this South American giant and into the World Cup gambling quarterfinals. Mexico’s best possibility would have been to slow the competition down, remove the passing lanes and stuff as many defenders as achievable in front of the box and stop any balls from getting through to the Argentine striking corps of Messi, Tevez, Higuain and Milito.

The final score of 3-1 was relatively dubious but fairly much came down to a better Argentine squad having their way with a hurting Mexican offense. It would have been suicide for Mexico to even attempt an offensive competition plan since Argentina is so fast and so great in the open lineup and counter attack.

The competition opened up with Mexico’s Carlos Salcido getting a point in the eighth minute. Things looked great for the Mexican squad until Tevez got his first goal and the tide of the competition changed. From that point on, Mexico simply could not get the ball away from Argentina long enough to score.

Carlos Tevez landed a goal twice – one time on a disputed goal – and Gonzalo Higuain added one more as the Albiceleste defeat Mexico 3-1 on Sunday to go into the quarterfinals.

The second goal, landed by Tevez by proceeding in a pass from Lionel Messi in the 26th minute, was a problem. Tevez was clearly offside when he butted it in. But the referee awarded the goal after consulting with his linesman while surrounded by upset Mexican and Argentine participants.

The Albiceleste has earned this match and is now 1 match nearer to the World Cup gambling finals. They have progressed to the quarterfinals where they’ll play against Germany.
