Green lights for Argentina and Germany
by Milota Sidorova

Sunday matches in round of 16 were marked by huge mistakes of referees. First they denied 100 percent legitimate English goal in German net, then Italian referee Roberto Rossetti accepted a goal made from an offside and mixed the cards for Mexicans playing against Argentina. Although Argentina was hot winning candidate, they had to slip over Mexian wall. Mexicans held their shape from the begining of the tournament and could hurt Maradona's team. In fact the play started good for them, pushing back Argentina back to its goalman. Until the first surprising goal, Mexico attacked Argentina and it seemed the match could end up with different result. But after Carlos Tevez's con! troversial goal, the portion of necessary luck moved towards Argentina. Tevez scored twice with Gonzalo Higuain against one goal from Javier Hernandez on Mexican side. Both teams played enjoyable football in a style fans and critics demanded from the beginning of the tournament. After final whistle it was sure Argentina will pass further to meet Germany in quarter finals while Mexicans were to leave the group of 16 just like four times before. The last lime they reached the quarter-finals was in 1986, hosting the World Cup. Argentina is moving faster, trying to balance stress laid upon its team. Germany surprisingly took revenge on its old rivals England when beating it 4-1. Some critics say Germany will be the fist real test for players of Argentina. However, even now with the half of the European teams already back home the World cup seems to be shaken more than enough
