kicking the shit out of messi ain't "defense". sure, they had no other recourse, and it's understandable, but greece played ugly.

greece had a tough dilemma-- they had to win, but if they poured themselves on the offensive they left themselves open to the argentinian offensive. so they sent samaras (their only interesting player, and i'm not talking about his girlie hair) to do the attacking all by himself.

argentina was too much for greece from the start, and the only reason they didn't score early is because everyone was on the defense and when somebody eluded them they pushed/kicked/pulled their opponents. the ref was a little too lenient, took a long-ass time to pull out his first yellow card, and missed a penalty when an argentinian player (couldn't spot who) was being pulled by the shirt inside the penalty area.

anyway, argentina played a great game, the goals were fucking beautiful, they were maybe a little slow on the attack which is why they couldn't surprise the greek defense, but this team is my favorite to win the world cup-- then again, they'e had an easy group, so let's see how they fare in the coming rounds.
