Argentina versus Mexico in the last 16 of the World Cup, deja vu anyone? Just four years and three days ago, these nations Akito Hirose Jersey squared off in Leipzig Germany at exactly the same stage of the competition. Argentina came out victorious on that occasion and will be hoping for a repeat performance this year.History As already mentioned, La Albiceleste and El Tri locked horns at this stage of thecompetition four years ago and itproved to be one of the games of the tournament. Thoroughly impre sive in the group stages, Argentina were expected to progre s with relative ease. However someone obviously failed to inform the Mexicans, as Barcelonas Rafael Marquez gave EL Tri the lead after just five minutes. Unfazed, it took Argentina just five Teddy Blueger Jersey minutes to find an equaliserwhenMexican striker Jared Borgetti headed into his own net. youtube: Despite numerous opportunities for both sides, the score remainedlevel at the end of 90 minutes. Itappeared that something special was neededto break the deadlock, and so it proved as Maxi Rodriguez struck one of the finest goals in World Cup history. Superbly controlling a cro s on his chest, the then Atletico Madrid winger unleashed a ferocious left footed volley into the top corner, sending La Albiceleste into the quarter finals with a 2-1 victory.There is a rich history of clashes between the two sides, with Argentina the dominant force having recorded 11 wins, 11 draws and just four defeats. The most recent,aJune 2008 friendly, resulted in a 4-1 victory for La Albiceleste, with goals from Burdi so, Me si, Rodriguez and Augero.Team NewsMost of the stars rested against Greece such as Mascherano, Heinze, Higuain and Tevez are likely to return, Danton Heinen Jersey as is the fit again Walter Samuel probably in place on Nicolas Burdi so. However, some reports suggest that Jonas Gutierrez will be replaced at right back by Nicolas Otamendi.If true the Newcastle winger will either start on the bench or replace Angel Di Maria on the left flank.Hat trick hero Higuain should returnThe Oppostion Mexico emerged from group A in second place, finishing ahead of South Africa and France but behind Uruguay. El Tri certainly showed some signs that they could trouble La Albiceleste, especially in their comprehensive 2-0 victory over the French. Playing a po se sion Nathan Smith Jersey based pa sing game which is not di similar to Argentinas own, the Mexicans are a dangerous side whohave the potential to spring an upset.Giovanni is part BrazilianCaptain Rafael Marquez is the most experienced player in the squad and has been impre sive thus far. Furthermore, as a teammate of Lionel Me si at Barcelona, he may be more informed than most on how to stop the little magician. PSV EindhovensCarlos Salcido has impre sed at left back in both an attacking and defensive capacity and will need to be carefully watched. Finally, nippy winger Giovanni Dos Santos has started to display the form which saw him marked as a wonder kid when at Barcelona. Whats more, as the son of former Brazilian profe sional Zizinho,it is likely he would love nothing morethen to send Argentina crashing out of the competition.OddsAs with all their fixtures to date, Argentina are odds on favourites at 1/2, meanwhile Mexico are Pavel Bure Jersey outsiders at 6/1. More info at .Prediction Mexico are a dangerous team and with both sides playing open attacking football it should be an entertaining affair. However I cant help but feel that Argentina are simply a superior version of the Mexicans and po se s more players capable of making the difference. Argentina to win 3-1.
