Argentina

Serbia and Montenegro were on the receiveing end of a humiliating defeat to Argentina, who looked nothing short of outstanding. Argentina's display was almost pure perfection from start to finish, and they were the better team by a mile, as the scoreline suggests. 3 goals either side of half time were enough to seal an emphatic victory for the South American giants, who have sent out a huge warning to the rest of the world that they mean business! The goals came courtesy of Maxi Rodriguez (x2), Estebian Cambiasso, Hernan Crespo, Carlos Tevez and Lionel Messi.
