Argentina and Mexico reach semis

International football
comment on the article
Messi, Tevez and Riquelme celebrate as Argentina run riot

Argentina earned a last-four contest with Mexico courtesy of a four-goal second-half salvo in Barquisimeto.

Goals from Juan Roman Riquelme (2), Lionel Messi and Javier Mascherano saw them go through.

In the other quarter-final, Mexico thrashed Paraguay 6-0 courtesy of strikes from Nery Castillo (2), Gerardo Torrado, Fernando Arce Ruiz, Cuauhtemoc Blanco and Omar Bravo.

With Uruguay playing Brazil on Tuesday and Mexico and Argentina playing a day later, who do you see making the final and ultimately winning?

Well, it's indeed true that your European teams are at a different level. Indeed, our conference, CONCACAF, where Mexico plays, is one of the weakest. The pompous, but athletic gringos (USA)consistently beat us now, but neither Bushland nor Mexico can really claim to have world-class football. Still, I'm proud and happy that in the Copa America we've come this far, and do hope we do well against Messi and crew (the Argentines). It would be an honour to face Brasil again, and lose to them (diminished as they may be). Or heck, even beat 'em. Again. Argentina in world championships always falls short. Only their ego remains undiminished. So, hope for Mexico, and luck!

Brazil are in the final, even though they have deployed their 'B' team! They aren't playing flowing football, so I would expect the winner of the Argentina vs Mexico semi to go on to win. That said, Brazil vs Argentina has a habit of not obeying the usual rules...
