When all is said and done, it all boils down to what one team is willing to do to get a goal in. In the 2006 World Cup match between Argentina and Serbia and Montenegro, there was a stunning display of patience and persistence.

Argentina had played the game well and had even already scored a goal in the early minutes of the game. However, they were not satisfied with one goal, they patiently waited while passing the ball between their players. They went ahead and set camp at the corner of the opposing side's penalty box.

Eventually, it was Javier Mascherano, Juan Roman Riquelme, Rodriguez, and Esteban Cambiasso that started passing the ball around. While waiting to exploit any weakness in the opponent's side, Cambiasso got the ball through a delightful backheel from Hernan Crespo. Cambiasso launched the ball into the back of the opponent's net.
