听力题 Former champions Argentina and England claimed hard-fought victories on a hot second day of the World Cup finals in Germany. Argentina, winners in 1978 and 1986, secured an exciting 2-1 Group C win over Ivory Coast in the tournament''s highest quality match so far, as their former great Diego Maradona cheered wildly from the stands. England, who have not won the World Cup for four decades, were fortunate to emerge with a 1 -0 win in Frankfurt, relying on an early own goal by Paraguay captain Carlos Gamarra. In Saturday''s other Group B clash, Sweden could only manage a goalless draw with tireless Trinidad & Tobago, the smallest nation ever to qualify for the World Cup. The Caribbean islanders played nearly the entire second half with 10 men but held on untiringly for a point. All three matches were played in unusually hot early-summer conditions, with temperatures in Frankfurt''s Waldstadion climbing to around 29 Celsius. "You don''t realize how hot it was out there," said England captain David Beckham. While England seemed listless in the heat, Argentina showed why they are among the favorites to hold the trophy in Berlin on July 9, beating a determined Ivory Coast side that showed class throughout the Group C match.
