Madness!!! They put a very strong side out as well, Messi, Tevez, Mascherano, Gago, Heinz, Zanetti all starting.

Argentina suffered their worst defeat in 60 years when they were hammered 6-1 in Bolivia in a World Cup qualifier.

 

Argentina, like so many teams before them, struggled to cope with the high altitude in the Bolivian mountains as Diego Maradona lost his 100 per cent record as manager in spectacular style.

 

Striker Joaquin Botero helped himself to a hat-trick as Marcelo Martins, Alex da Rosa and Didi Torrico also got on the scoresheet with Luis Gonzalez getting the solitary goal for the visitors.

 

Martins put Bolivia into a 12th minute lead but Argentina hit back on 25 minutes when Gonzalez equalised.

 

Botero scored his first from the spot eight minutes later and Da Rosa gave the home side a two-goal cushion on the stroke of half-time.

 

Bolivia weren't done there and Botero made it 4-1 nine minutes after the break. Things went from bad to worse for Maradona's men when Angel di Maria was dismissed after 64 minutes.

 

Botero then scored his third two minutes later and Torrico rounded off a day to forget for the two-time World Cup winners

Couldn't believe it when I saw it, to think a team with that much quality could collapse like that. Full credit to Bolivia though, great performance and a game they'll remember forever now.
