This is a must win situation for both of the teams. Uruguay vs Argentina match of 14 October 2009 has perhaps more attraction to the fans than most of World Cup matches that would take place next year in South Africa. The stakes are too high- winner takes all. Yes, it is literally winner takes all game. There are too many permutations and combinations involving the match. In mathematical calculation, Venezuela has still some kind of chance to qualify but I don’t think it will happen. It is upto Uruguay, Argentina and Ecuador to become 4th and fifth.
One thing is in favor of Uruguay. They are playing at home and this is a big advantage for them. In fact, in the stadium they are playing tonight, it is a mighty venue for them. They have defeated most of the big names in World football in the past here. So, this should give them a lot of confidence.
Argentina football team is perhaps at its worst condition today. Well, the main reason for it is perhaps that most of the players play outside of the country and thus, they do no have any kind of good understanding. In Messi, they have perhaps the best player in the world today but behind Messi, the midfield looks shaky. So, I am not that much hopeful today. I think that Uruguay will win or it will be a draw. Well, things can go otherwise if Messi can show his magic. I hope that Messi can really do something extra ordinary tonight. Then anything can happen. Many people think that Messi is the next Maradona.
Many websites will give live score of the match. So, if you are afootball fan then you can enjoy the match either in TV or in Internet.
