        <title>Mexico exits as Argentina shows how it&#039;s done - The World Game - theworldgame&apos;s Blog - Bakersfield.com</title>

        <description>Last year, Argentina beat Mexico with one fantastic goal.
This year, Argentina used two fantabulous goals.
The first was a long free kick that soared over the wall and seemed to be heading well away from the goal, until an Argentine player ghosted in with a high jumping kick to deflect the ball into the goal. It was an instant classic.
The second was a simple,&amp;nbsp;beautiful chip from outside the 18 that arced up and over.
Mexico played well and threatened with an early attack on a great midfield steal. But every one-on-one saw Argentina dance deftly around, away from or through Mexico.
That sets up the superclasico final, Brazil v. Argentina, with Brazil advancing on penalities after a 2-2 draw with Uruguay that didn&#039;t go to extra time, apparently because of a 15-minute delay in the first half when the stadium lights went out.
Uruguay plays Mexico in the third-place game Saturday. I don&#039;t expect either team to be motivated. The final on Sunday should be fantastic.

By the way, in Asia, Saudi Arabia tied South Korea 1-1. Australia and Japan both could muster only 1-1 draws against Oman and Qatar, respectively. The Asian Cup is going to be very interesting.
