Argentina, USA qualify for World Cup

Argentina and USA have become the latest two teams to qualify for next summer's World Cup in Brazil.

Jurgen Klinsmann's side overcame local rivals Mexico 2-0 in Ohio which was enough for them to qualify after Honduras were held to a 2-2 draw with Panama on Wednesday morning.

Meanwhile, Alejandro Sabella's La Albiceleste were put through after they eased past Paraguay 5-2.

Two penalties from Lionel Messi, and strikes from Maxi Rodriguez, Sergio Aguero and Angel di Maria saw Sabella's side achieve qualification despite goals from Roque Santa Cruz and Jose Nunez for the home side.
