I got one thing right. Argentina won the gold medal (for a second consecutive Olympics I might add).
And now the world waits. It waits for South Africa (or where ever the hell the World Cup may be) 2010. Two years. And it waits for the eventual clash between Spain's young guns and the Albicelestes. It's not like we don't expect it.
La Furia Roja earned its nickname earlier this summer, creatively slashing through the rest of Europe for its first major title in 44 years. And of course, most of the guys on the squad are up and coming youngsters, who will probably only get better in two years' time.
And Argentina? Well, they may have lost Copa America last year, but this current side plays with such a pace and flair, that these Olympics showed us that there is a changing of the guard in South America. Fine. Brasil defeated them 3-0 in the Copa final last year. But that was an old Brasil side against a very young Argentina team. In two years, I guarantee that the Albicelestes are the class of the world. And don't forget about Lionel Messi.
So, I can't wait. World Cup 2010 is going to be fun. Let's just hope that we get the final we all want. Argentina versus Spain.

Maybe I wasn't seeing what you saw. I noticed the players went to the the table after the game, so what are Breen and Collins supposed to do? The players walked over to them; not the other way around.
If the broadcasters had gone to the the players, then the criticism would be valid.
