Argentina were handed their newest warning on Saturday when they were pounded 3-1 at home in a World Cup qualifier, an outcome which guaranteed Brazil a position in South Africa and left Diego Maradona’s team to ditch with Ecuador, Colombia, Uruguay and Venezuela.
The positions have been reversed. Brazil plays counter-attacking football and Argentina the stunning game, although it has been ineffective in opposition to the five-time world champions.
On Saturday, Argentina clearly failed to learn the lesson of the 2007 Copa America final when they were the favorites after some excellent performances but played into Brazil’s hands in a 3-0 crush.
Maradona’s tore into Brazil, who peaceful y weathered the early storm and scored two swift goals to take control.
