Have you ever seen a more disheveled Brazilian team? A pudgy Ronaldinho and his club were absolutely pummeled by the speed and accuracy of each and every Argentine on the pitch today. After a silent first half, Argentina’s Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid) scored within five minutes in the second half to basically seize all samba power from the Brazilians who ended up with only nine men after they diverted from their “let’s try and win tactic” to a more “let’s kick shins relentlessly.”

“I was really happy with Aguero today. He scored two goals and he played fantastic,” Argentina coach Sergio Batista said.

“This team has committed themselves to each match at the Olympics to try and win the gold medal.

“This is what they will continue to do against Nigeria in the final. Nigeria is a really strong team, we want to savour this win over Brazil first.”

Can we officially confirm a super baby is on the way?

Argentina will take on Nigeria in a rematch of the 1996 final on August 23rd.
