I am a bit surprise by the score-line. I was not surprise Arg. lose but not by that score line. Brazil should thank their keeper that they did not get 4 from Ecuador.

If I'm not mistaken, Bolivia is no longer allowed to play at the extreme high altitude that they used to play at. FIFA put in new rules that gave a maximum distance above sea level where WCQ games could be played. Altitude may have been a factor in today's game, but not anywhere close as it used to be in the past if this rule is truly in effect.

The match was at Estadio Hernando Siles at an altitude of 3,637 meters

"After a month of campaigning against the ban, FIFA raised the altitude limit from 2500 meters to 3000 meters on June 27, 2007. The next day, FIFA also announced a special exemption for the Estadio Hernando Siles, allowing the stadium to continue holding World Cup qualiying matches." - wikipedia

Don't be like everyone and make excuses for Argentina by blaming the altitude! The fact is that its not the first time that Argentina has played in La Paz, and the fact is that they have more wins there than Bolivia does. Also, many of the Bolivia players on the team were from town that are around sea level! The fact is that Argentina played absolute crap and got punished for it today in SPECTACULAR fashion.

The stars don't align often to enable a score like this for a so-called small team against a world giant, and won't happen again for a very long time, so we should savour it, lol.
