The half time whistle goes and the Ivory Coast is wondering how they are 2-0 down. One word - Riquelme. He set up the first with a free kick that was not dissimilar to Beckham's effort earlier in the day. The second wass a delightful pass to Saviola who timed his run perfectly after Crespo created space for the pass.

The Ivorians will be wondering about their positioning on the first free kick while there wasn't any pressure put on Riquelme when he had time to thread the needle on Saviola's goal.

 The Argentine defense has looked uncomfortable for most of the half with the Ivory Coast's power and speed but they their goal has survived intact.

If Argentine get the next goal then it is all over - it might be already - but if the Africans can get one back then who knows what might be in store.
