Note: The six-one score is a little flattering to the Argentinians and this is not just english bias. Douglas twistedhis knee after four minutes and Tracy was not himself, missing two good chances as he limped up and doen the huge pitch (134 x 100 yds), but he did not appear for the second half as he had broken his leg!

Note: The six-one score is a little flattering to the Argentinians and this is not just english bias. Douglas twistedhis knee after four minutes and Tracy was not himself, missing two good chances as he limped up and doen the huge pitch (134 x 100 yds), but he did not appear for the second half as he had broken his leg!
