Di Maria out, Gutierrez in

Jonas Gutierrez is in and Angel Di Maria is out.

3-1 Argentina in the 80th minute.

Hernandez will do big things with Man. U

Shimer had just texted me saying "Dos Santos has disappeared." Honestly, I was going to respond with "Hernandez is way better," and my man scored a sweet goal in the 71st minute.

He took a quick touch in the box, spun and then roofed it with his left foot.

3-1 Argentina in the 75th minute, if Mexico can get one more this could get interesting.

Tevez out, Veron in

Tevez won't get a hat trick today as he was pulled for Juan Sebastian Veron. Gabriel Heinze cleared a Mexican shot off his goal line with a header.

The second half has started but Tevez closed the book on this one

Well thanks for playing Mexico. Tevez just hit a missle from the half circle at the top of the box in the 52nd minute.

It was out of nowhere, he had tried to dribble through a couple Mexican defenders but they poked it away. He regathered and in a quick motion turned and blasted it. Surely one of the best goals of the 2010 World Cup.

Argentina is up 3-0 in the 60th minute.

For Mexico, Adolfo Bautista came off for Pablo Barrera. Summing up Mexico's day, Barrera had a shot from a tight angle and took it rather than pass to a bunch of teammates that made the run into the box.

Guillermo Franco is on for Mexico with Andres Guardado taking a seat.

2-0 Argentina at halftime

Haha Hernandez just shoved Heinze when he was on the touch line. Start licking your lips for the Germany-Argentina dream quarterfinal. It'll happen next Saturday at 10 a.m.

Haha and the teams are pushing and shoving each other as they try to do down the tunnel. Love it.

Mexico can't get into their dressing room fast enough to regroup.

Higuain whiffs on header

Higuain should have had another goal as Otamendi served him a perfect cross on a platter right in front of the Mexican goal.

2-0 Argentina in the 44th minute.
