World cup Day

Argentina turned in the performance of the World Cup so far as they destroyed Serbia & Montenegro 6-0 to send them crashing out of the tournament. Argentina, who took a 3-0 lead into the second half, doubled their tally in Gelsenkrichen in 10 scintillating minutes with goals from Hernan Crespo, Carlos Tevez and Lionel Messi.
Also Goals from Robin van Persie and Ruud van Nistelrooy were enough to seal a place in the last 16 for Holland and condemn Ivory Coast to pack their bags for home.

The World Cup will be poorer for their departure.
Ten-man Angola restored some pride to a flagging African World Cup campaign by holding Group D leaders Mexico to a goalless draw on Friday evening in Hanover.
