ARGENTINA HIT FOR A MIGHTY SIX.

In the South American world cup qualifiers for the world cup in 2010 , in South Africa.There was a big suprise.
In the match between Bolivia and Argentina , played at LA Paz, at a very high altitude above sea level. The Argentinans were clearly feeling the height proplem.. they were puffing and panting by the end of the match. Bolivia also handed Diego Maradona the coach of Argentina his very first defeat since he took over as coach of Argentina. But it also was Argentinas biggest defeat ever in over sixty years.
And to add salt to the injury a Bolivian footballer also scored a hat trick..
The Argentinan goalkeeper Juan Carrizo let the first goal in in the 12th minute when Marcelo Martins scored the first goal.. But the Argentinans equaled in the 25th minute when Luis Gonzales who plays for Porto. scored a 30meters without much conviction but a wicked bounce saw the ball defeating the keeper Carlos Arias.. Bolivia then went 3-1 up with a goal fromDa Rosa, Botero scored the rest of his three goals in the 50th minute and the 66th minute.Torrico scored the sixth goal in the 90th minute. To make matters worse for Diego Maradona Angel Di Maria was sent of in the 63rd minute.
But Diego Maradona was very fair in his statement after the match. He said it was not the height but the Bolivian footballers were far better and that each goal that went in was a dagger in his heart.
