Those who study the English Premier League might recognise the style of football adopted by Diego Maradona's Argentina - it resembles the Newcastle side forged by Kevin Keegan in the 1990s; committed to attack at all costs but vulnerable defensively. 

The South Koreans probably did not deserve to be battered 4-1. Argentina's first was an own goal and, 2-1 down at the interval, Huh Jung-moo's side had a chance. But they had no answer to the brilliance of Lionel Messi and the predatory instincts of Gonzalo Higuain. Messi may not have found the net in Argentina's opening two matches but he already looks like one of the players of this tournament.
