So it appears that Argentina played like gangbusters for the first 20 minutes and then faded away letting Scotland have some decent chances, a combination of hustle and and an uneasy Juan Pablo Carrizo in goal. This is what usually happens with Argentina who have been unable to sustain their bright starts and let teams back in as the game progresses.
However much of the game was dreary and there were many empty seats as Argentina did not bring their A team with Leo Messi and Riquelme missing. Sergio Aguera was also absent rushing back to Madrid to tend to his pregnant girlfriend who also happens to be Maradona's daughter.
So Maradona rolled out of Scotland a victor. And parted with a last dig, "Who is Butcher?"
