As expected,Argentina made it to the finals. Australia is the biggest
surprise on this cup. Thanks to their manager Gangsta9 they are in the
final match. Question before the match was: Can they beat Argentina?
Answer after the match was: No. Although in group stage they beat Italy
Argentina was too good for them. Argentinians started very offensively,
but Australian defence was excellent until the 24th minute. Claudio Lopez
made a run on the left side. Moore was following him,but Murphy made a
mistake when he run to help Moore,leaving Ortega alone. Lopez centered,
and Ortega was 1 on 1 with the keeper. Bosnich tried to block the shot,
but it went next to his leg in the net. To confirm Argentina's triumph
Crespo scored a goal in 43' minute. Ortega beautifully centerd the ball
and Crespo from the penalty kick scored a header. Bosnich could save it
but he didn't. He made a huge mistake. It was all solved. When referee
made final whistle Argentinians celebrated,but Australians weren't sad
either. They can actually be very happy with done on this cup.
Oseany lead Argentina to the trophy,so they became winners of the first
Virtual world cup in history.
Next year,probably,on PES 3 they will try to defend their title.
