Argentina's Maxi Rodriguez took aim, took a chance and lifted Argentina into the World Cup quarterfinals.

His soaring volley in the 98th minute Saturday gave Argentina a 2-1 victory over Mexico and put the tournament favorite into the final eight against Germany. The moment of brilliance also ousted hard-luck Mexico at this stage of the World Cup for the fourth consecutive tournament

At the end, several Mexican players were crying. Mario Mendez kicked the turf at the center of the field, walking glumly for the sideline. Teammate Francisco Fonseca sat nearby, staring up into the stands. Behind him in the far corner, bare-chested Argentina players twirled their shirts in the air, some dropping to their knees to salute their fans -- and each other.
