Netherlands v Argentina (Semi Final) Wednesday 9th July 2014

Not a fair game though, is it.

Argentina have a gattaca player. Genetically modified little Calvin (and Hobbes) lookalike.

Anyway looks like De Jong's coming off his wheelchair to try and cripple him, so who knows.
 
They're wearing black armbands. Wasn't there a bit of hoo-ha that there wasn't a minute's silence at yesterday's game? Maybe FIFA have a blanket policy?
 
Earlier today, i paid a visit to the local British shop here in San Diego. Most large American cities have one (or more): a place where you can buy British (and Australian) products that are not generally available in the US. I usually go to buy tea, and stuff like Fry's chocolate, Violet Crumbles, etc. etc.

Anyway, while i was at the counter today, i chatted with the two women behind the counter about the World Cup. There is no TV in the store, and they were bummed that they couldn't watch the game, so i showed them how to get Univision's free stream on their computer and they were very happy.

I made the mistake, though, of asking who they were cheering for today. They got rather indignant, and told me that no true Brit would ever cheer for Argentina. :D

I like the way that the electronic billboard ads don't animate and flash like the fucking annoying ones in the Premier league.
 
On the basis of not having watched anything but last night's game I'm going with 1-1 at full time and a win to Argentina 2-1 after ET.

even though hand of god etc, i still liked argentina because of maradonna...which got me thinking, would maradonna be able to make the runs that he used to, taking on the whole world, in todays game? I get the feeling in modern football theres a lot less room to play, and modern tactics are all about reducing that space. Would be curious if people who know whats what could confirm that - or is it all much the same
