Quarterfinals Game 3: Argentina vs Belgium

Maybe they're so good at sports because nobody ever seems to go to work?

Argentina is a good team.  No, I mean that.  Personal bias aside, the Albiceleste are one of the best teams in the world, and have been for some time.  In this match, they dominated possession.  Yet, as we have seen this tournament, that statistic apparently means nothing.

Both Argentina and Belgium had a lot of shots.  The difference: Belgians can hit the broad side of a barn.  The Argentine attackers managed only one shot on goal despite all their numerous chances, while the Red Devils managed a cool 80% of shots on target.  That is this entire game in a nutshell.

Final result: 1 - 5 Belgium
