God shined again on Argentina. Argentina defeated Uruguay 1-0 in Montevideo Wednesday night. Mario Bolatti scored off a great combo free kick by Messi. Messi fired the ball to Veron. Vernon one timed the shot. The ball rattled around in the box. Bolatti knocked home the bouncing ball to give Argentina the win that will send them to the 2010 World Cup.

The match changer happened in the eighty-fourth minute.

I was listening to Brasil battle to a zero-zero draw with Venezuela when the Brasilian announcers started screaming Goal for Argentina. The Brasilian announcers kept on stating they don’t how Argentina scored. Argentina wasn’t doing anything all match long.

Even though Uruguay lost, they will advance to the play in game against the fourth place CONCACAF team Costa Rica. The winner of this home at home series will advance to the 2010 World Cup.

Costa Rica was leading the USA 2-0 late in the second half. Costa Rica relaxed for they thought they had the automatic spot tied up. Not! USA scored twice to tie this baby up at two all. The final goal came in the dying moments of the match. Jonathan Bornstein knocked home the goal off a great corner kick. The ball was placed right at the goalmouths doorstep.

Bornstein’s goal knocked Costa Rica out of the automatic spot.

This tie sent Costa Rica to the World Cup play in game against Uruguay.

Honduras defeated El Salvador 1-0 to secure the final automatic spot.

Honduras won the third spot on a better goal difference. Honduras was plus six while Costa Rica was zero. Both teams had sixteen points.

The USA and Mexico are already in.

I am happy that Argentina won and they will now play in the 2010 World Cup. Now for God’s sakes please get a real coach. Fire Maradona and get someone who understands how to coach the game.

If this style of play continues Argentina will get their clocks cleaned at the World Cup.

Get rid of both Grondona and Maradona.

It is as simple as that.

Maradona can say what he wants but the sad truth is that he sucks as a coach. Maradona is very fortunate and lucky that Argentina won.

This win snapped a thirty-three match-losing streak against Uruguay in Montevideo. 

Will the AFA man up and make a bold decision and fire both Grondona and Maradona? Or will the AFA chicken out and wait for the train wreck of a World Cup for Argentina?

The AFA will do nothing.
