Soccer's Argentine Magnificence
Equal parts clinical and dazzling, the All-World team assembled by Argentina for this summer's Copa America is nothing short of impressive. Witness their 2nd-half dismantling of Peru in yesterday's quarterfinals, buoyed by goals from international superstars Lionel Messi, Javier Mashcherano, and a pair from Juan Riquelme. In this tournament, these are the levels of praise in ascending order: there is class, there is world class, and then there is Argentina.
If enjoying a treat like this isn't enough, perhaps you'd finally like to resolve that mystery that's been hanging over your head all these years: What would it be like to hear a South African announce team call the South American championships? Well, here's your chance to find out. The world really is watching.
