Really the scoreline says it all. If Spain's drubbing of Ukraine was impressive, then Argentina's shellacking of Serbia & Montenegro was 1.5 times so. Sure, S&M mailed it in, but mostly due to the lambasting they were subjected to in this game.
Argentina takes the top of our favorites list here at Balls on Fire with this performance. Featuring one of the best combination goals of the tournament, outside of the aforementioned Spain-Ukraine game, this game also saw the World Cup debut of Lionel Messi. A goal and an assist within 15 minutes, eh? Kid's pretty good for an 18 year-old. Pretty damn incredibly amazing good, him and his team.
(This recap is endorsed by Maradona for President. Of anything.)
