Time: 2002 FIFA World Cup, South Korea and Japan
In the 2002 World Cup, Argentina was assigned to the group of death. In the last life and death war against Sweden in the group competition, Argentina couldn't break the blanket defense of Sweden even when they tried their best. Batistuta was replaced by Hernán Jorge Crespo in the competition. Tears burst out of his eyes as he walked out of the field. Shen Bing, the host of CCTV, cried for the team when the media broadcast the competition on live television. That summer buried the dreams of many heroes as well as Batistuta's hope of winning the Jules Rimet Cup for Argentina.
