What a shock!

So most football fans in Malaysia probably stayed up last night to watch the victorious Three Lions against Ukraine, albeit through a late John Terry goal in the 88th minute. Although it was a close affair, almost everyone expected England to triumph at Wembley. The most incredible result that sent shockwaves around the footballing world last night though has to be Bolivia's mauling of Argentina (6-1). After all, here was Argentina, one of the early favorites for the 2010 World Cup, filled with superstars such as Lionel Messi (in my opinion, a contender for World Player of the Year), Sergio Aguero, Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez, and coached by God-incarnate himself, Maradona. Perhaps, if Argentina were beaten by Brazil, for example, the defeat wouldn't seem so shocking. But Bolivia? Bolivia!!! Perhaps this famous victory was helped by the air in La Paz. In previous years, huge controversies, issues and concerns were voiced out about football matches being played at high altitude, 3600 m above sea level, in La Paz, and the advantages it gave Bolivia over the other teams. But for now, no one can deny Bolivia one of their finest and most famous win in their footballing history.
