The eveninggame of the first gameday of the Round of 16 brings the game between Argentina and Mexico. The team of South America could win in Group B wie 3 undisputed vicotories and only one goal against taken by the squad of Sout Korea. In all three games Argentina could show what could be possible without problems but in a long time they didn't show there real skills.
A little bit suprising at the Round of 16 you will find the representative of the CONCACAF Mexico. In a group with the runner up of the WC 2006 France, host South Africa and another representative of South America Uruguay Mexico could qualify on goal difference against South Africa but Mexico showed their amaing skills in all three games.

Even if the most of the experts are meaning that all odds are on the site of Argentina i guess that Mexico is able to show an individual class to persist also against Argentina and could find an open clash against them. So my tipp is a
DRAW after 90 minutes!
