Argentina advanced to the semifinals of the World Cup for the first time since 1990 Saturday with a 1-0 win over Belgium. In a game that featured just three shots on goal, Gonzalo Higuaín's perfect half-volley in the 8th minute was enough to send Argentina through, but Higuaín had a golden opportunity to double Argentina's advantage in the second half. Higuaín raced through the Belgian defense and fired a shot high above goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, but the ball clipped the top of the crossbar and went over.

Argentina manager Alejandro Sabella was so stunned almost fell over.
It didn't take long for the Photoshops to start hitting Twitter.
Alejandro Sabella gets the "Smooth Criminal" treatment. Yes, we think Ale's OK now. (via @Barzaboy) http://t.co/3zPmiO131B—
