When you keep a chance with the world's greatest team till the last minute and loose only with 11 points difference, the result is satisfying.
However, the match against Argentina in San Juan, the "Bisentenniale" has sparked some questions and if we don't want to become like the Rugby sport in which we often hear "played well, but lost to" we must critically regarded not only lost, but also won their matches.
We lost to Argentina in the Netherlands and this defeat was no surprise. But we must admit that this was a team, is the national team of Argentina is nominally, which actually lacked the 21 leading player. These players coaches prepare for the four-nation tournament and so near the reserve, where they played against us, we have lost the renewed composition, England (3:32 and 26: 51).
So we must not delude ourselves that the head-to-head play against the national team of Argentina.
In addition, I personally am disappointed that after such a long distance, Georgia had played just 20 minutes-15, and the rest of the time spent for execution of penalty kicks and common situations and time-outs of the bout. The game was mostly on the margins between the 22-meter line. A situation that could lead to an attempt to, created only once when Lasha Khmaladze broke the hosts ' defense line. And the rest of the time there was a struggle, which ended with penalties.
We showed the last match? What Georgia despite heavy losses (Mamuka Gorgodze, Merab Kvirikashvili, Dimitri Basilaia, Irakli Natriashvili, David Kubriashvili, Tedo Zibzibadze) fights to the end and not tušuet before the big-name rivals, setting records on the receipt meaningless penalty. Yes, the referee whistled a few times in this situation, if allowed to watch the replay, you probably won't be able to explain where and why blame our players saw, but also the fact that "The Lelos" and without this quite often folili and it remains one of the biggest challenges for Georgia formations Milton Hague. If not the same indiscipline of the Argentines, the difference would have been more impressive and turn a blind eye to it only those who cannot see the problem until then not Arba.
The dedication game of Georgian players in the first-half was awarded 4-penalties and Beka Tsiklauri turned them into 12 points. The Argentines struck 5 times, but scored only three times and "The Lelos" won the time-12: 9.
Early in the second half, with the more or less active "participation" by Irish referee George Klenzi, the Argentines scored a penalty on 53 and 3-rd minute came forward 18:12.
After that line and broke Khmaladze if after the ball fell candles would be "good", it probably would have been attempted, but it didn't happen. The 57-minute drop-goal with Tsiklauri 22 meters reduced the difference. Argentina scored again 2 penalty on that Malaguradze the 72-minute answered one penalty kick.
Before the final whistle referee showed the yellow card to Vito Kolelishvili and the game ended.
