¡Chau, Argentina, y gracias por la alegria de tu futbol!

I think -- my biasness notwithstanding -- that this Argentinean side was one of the best I've seen in a long time, and arguably the best side in this World Cup (certainly the most fun to watch). Regardless of how Argentina left the World Cup -- they gotta get rid of those penalty shots -- thank you Argentina. Thank you for giving us, for a brief two and a half weeks, so much happiness.

And, to remind us of how beautifully they played the beautiful game, here are video highlights of one of the best games from a single team that I have ever seen, and it's been judged the best game of the tournament by many, if not one of the best performances from a single team in a very long time: Argentina's 6-0 romp of Serbia-Montenegro.
