But you know, not that I'm really complaining, of course it was not something intentional. Sometimes this kind of situations just add more to the magic of the spectacle that is a football match. It has pain, anger, tears and happiness..... just magical !!

Exactly. The Mexicans were taking the game to Argentina and, in my eyes as a neutral, created the better chances. Then the goal happened and it threw the Mexicans' concentration. They were angry and rightly so but that meant they weren't fully focused on the game and I think that lead to the mistake for the second goal.
Two massive decisions in two separate games that completely influenced how the remainder of the games would have played out. Whether the end results would have been different, who knows but the Mexicans can feel slightly robbed of at least having the opportunity to play a 'fair' game of football.
It's bizarre how the officiating that started out so good in the early group games has suddenly gone AWOL. Look at the Kaka sending off too. An absolute disgrace.
