Euphoria In Argentina

Euphoria in Argentina
Jun. 25 - Argentines celebrate their team's 2-1 victory over Mexico that advances the South Americans into the quarter finals.
Excitement was high in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires as soccer fans watched their team beat Mexico, in a game that set up what will likely be an unforgettable quarter-final between the favourites and the hosts Germany at Berlin's Olympia stadium on Friday.
Fans wearing blue and white jerseys crowded into sports bars and restaurants to watch the second-round game.
The quarter-final in Berlin on Friday brings together the countries that contested the 1990 final in Rome when West Germany beat Argentina 1-0 to clinch their third world title.
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) PARIS IVANISEVICH, FAN, SAYING:
"It was difficult but good! Argentina will always come out ahead."
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) ALBERTO RONDON, NICARAGUAN FAN OF ARGENTINA, SAYING:
"The nicest football that I've seen in my life is played by Argentina. Argentina!"
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) JUAN AVALOS, FAN, SAYING:
"Let's go Argentina! We're going to be world champions. We beat Mexico
and now we're going for Germany, Brazil, all of them. We're going to be
champions! Let's go!"

Tears in Mexico as they bow out
Jun. 25 - Disappointed Mexicans filled Mexico City's Zocalo plaza to watch their national team fall to Argentina 2-1 in extra time.
Fans prayed as the Mexicans, quick on the counter-attack, troubled the centre of the Argentine defence time and again but was unable to score.
As the match went into extra time, fans anxiously hoped for a victory but, instead, watched as a brilliant goal from Argentina's Maxi Rodriguez gave his country a 2-1 extra-time win.
Mexican President Vicente Fox said he was proud of the players who held the Argentines for much of the game.
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) MEXICO PRESIDENT VICENTE FOX, SAYING:
"I'm with Mexico. I'm proud of the game that our compatriots played,
that our players played. They dominated the entire time. The loss was
circumstantial. Mexico was always ahead. They deserved the victory.
Those who reject the way Mexico plays aren't with Mexico, I think. I'm
with Mexico and I will continue to be with Mexico, with our players,
with our directors and trainers. You did well men."
