Oh! What a game!!!

First, Higuain scored for Argentina in the beginning of the second half to put them ahead 1-0. Midway through the second half, heavy rain and wind appeared out of nowhere and in the 90th minutes, Peru scored to draw and everything was done for Argentina! But wait, in the 93rd minute, Palermo scored, out of a scramble, the most important goal of his long career! Argentina wins 2-1 !!

Ecuador is 6th now with 23 pts, Uruguay is 5th with 24 pts and Argentina 4th with 25 pts. Argentina will play their last game against Uruguay in Motntevideo on Wednesday and Ecuador will go to Chile..

Here are the different scenarios for Argentina:

• If Argentina win, they will qualify for the World Cup
• If Argentina draw and Ecuador don't win by five goals, Argentina will qualify for the World Cup
• If Argentina draw and Ecuador win 5-0, Argentina enter the playoff
• If Argentina lose and Ecuador don't win, Argentina enter the playoff
• If Argentina lose and Ecuador win, Argentina will be eliminated from the World Cup.

The 4th seeded will automatically qualify for the World Cup and the 5th will play the 4th seeded in Central America (I think Costa Rica or Hinduras)

A draw should be just fine for Argentina!

They wouldn't have been eliminated.
Argentina would have 23 points, Ecuador 23, Uruguay 24.

Palermo and Veron??
Argentina used to be a real enemy for us, but now they are worthless.
