Argentina not getting carried away

HERE’S a scary thought: Despite Argentina’s 6-0 romp over Serbia-Montenegro, midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme figures the two-time champions need to get better.

“Let’s hope we can continue improving,” said Riquelme. “We’re very happy with the game we played, but we want to keep growing as a team.”

Friday’s emphatic victory in Gelsenkirchen may turn out to be the watershed of the World Cup — when the young 23-man squad began believing they could win Argentina’s first World Cup in 20 years.
