Latin America Shining Brightly at World Cup

argentinafootballAfter 23 games it is the teams from Latin America that are lighting up the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Argentina, Mexico and Uruguay have sparkled, while others like Chile and Paraguay have done enough to suggest that a place in the next knockout phase could be theirs for the taking. And much-fancied Brazil have made their presence felt even if less emphatically than expected, winning 2-1 against minnows North Korea, despite dominating the match. Along with Argentina it is perhaps Mexico that have impressed the most in South Africa. Mexico’s next game is against Uruguay on 22 June and with Argentina likely to lie in wait for the Group A runners-up, Aguirre’s team will be looking to win to ensure they avoid Lionel Messi and co. Uruguay will win the group if the game is drawn.
