The build up for Aguero's goal was awesome, and the fact they can leave Tevez out and still look that good shows their strength going forward. But yeah, their defence may end up being their achilles heel. I really want Argentina to win the WC though, if only because it'll finally put to bed any doubts about Messi's place alongside the game's all time greats - not that I think there should be any doubts about that, regardless of how Argentina do. Puskas never won a world cup, nor did Di Stefano or Cruyff and I don't think many people would question their place in that top pantheon. Like Dan Marino never winning a Superbowl. It'd definitely be the icing on the cake, though.
