What a slap for Argentina .........

You are not reading wrong... this is the right result, unbelievable BUT TRUE!!!!!

Wow, wow, wow.... I could not believe it!!!!!    What a goleada!!!

Ok, come on guys... we know that usually Bolivia win their matches when playing in LA PAZ because they are used to the high altitude. Yet, I was not expecting such a goleada!!!!!  

what a headache for Argentina and Lazio goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo!!!!!   

Here is the official starting eleven formation for ARGENTINA by Coach Dieago Armando Maradona:

Juan Pablo Carrizo, Javier Zanetti, Martin Demichelis, Gabriel Heinze, Emiliano Papa, Maxi Rodriguez, Javier Mascherano, Fernando Gago, Luis Oscar Gonzalez, Carlos Tevez, and Lionel Messi.

Only 2 players from the Italian Serie A in the starting line up for Argentina.  Lazio goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo playing 90 minutes and FC Inter midfielder Javier Zanetti playing 90 minutes. 

It's too bad that Napoli forward Ezequiel Lavezzi and Genoa forward  Diego Milito were injured and could not play this match for Argentina.
