2010 FIFA World Cup, Round of 16: Argentina Overpowers El Tri, Gets Another Crack At Germany

At Johannesburg:






Carlos Tevez scored twice, (26'---a controversial goal, 52', pictured here) and Gonzalo Higuain scored another (33') as Argentina took out Mexico 3-1 on Sunday in World Cup Round of 16 play.  Four years ago in Germany, the Argentinians got the better of El Tri in overtime in the Round of 16.  As was the case in 2006, Argentina will get a shot at Germany in the quarterfinal round this coming Saturday in Cape Town.  The Germans defeated Argentina in the quarterfinals four years ago.
