Mark it down on your calendar: next Saturday 10 a.m.-Germany vs. Argentina. The two best teams of the 2010 World Cup play in the quarterfinals.
The Argentines took care of business as only they can with a comprehensive spanking of Mexico. Just as I said, the Mexicans will probably whine about the first Tevez goal (that was clearly offsides) but it won't matter one bit. Like Germany vs. England, one team was leaps and bounds ahead of another. Those calls were dog shit but luckily they didn't affect anything.
It's the first time since 1930 that Argentina has won their first four matches. And like clockwork, for the fifth time in a row Mexico goes out in the round-of-16.
