A simultaneously shocking and stunning performance by Argentina yesterday, as they served notice of their intent to win the Cup. Serbia and Montenegro were the hapless victims, but the Argentines surely got every teams attention with their audacious play. The second Argentine goal - a strike from a back heel pass after a 24 possession-pass buildup of near contemptuous flair, carving open the Serb defenses - may well have been the finest goal scored at this competition in the last 20 years. The only possible danger for Argentina is that they may have peaked: too high, too soon, too far, might they already have seen the whole of the moon?

Holland did just enough to get themselves to the next round, getting through a relentless Ivory Coast team that never stopped coming forward. Holland play Argentina in the last game of the group stage, and I suspect both sides are relieved a place in the next round isn't at stake.

Nothing too exciting on the schedule today...Except...Oh wait, that's right, Italy play today...

Yes, I know, Argentina - but I still like the Orange.
