Looking forward to todays Spain v Argentina game. From how I've seen them play, I am rooting for Spain, the more gentlemanly team. Argentina is the best at what they do, not sure if I would call it soccer though. Hope nobody is permanently injured on the Spanish side.

The nice thing is that I will have someone to watch with me today as my son is driving over, we will also do a nice Sunday dinner later with the family- already made the mini Pavlova bases last night.

Well I hope everyone has wonderful time - it was my first World Cup and it was more than I expected, not only the games but all the player and fan side stories. It makes me feel that the world can come together and maybe even tackle some our our pressing issues. 

France v England today was the best game of the whole tournament as far as I am concerned. Lots of joy, minimum fouls. 

It is not much fun playing for third place. If I were those guys playing today, I would make a deal to sit the goalies out and make huge record breaking scores. There has been so much underhanded decision making in this world cup - this would at least give the fans a chuckle.

The English manager, Tuchel, has been heavily criticised for his tactics and substitutions during the match against Argentina. This is understandable and, in some ways, justified. However, the main reason England lost the match is straightforward. Argentina were the better side. By far.
In my lifetime, I've been fortunate to see some amazing players. Pele. Cruyff, Eusebio, Maradona, Best, Beckenbauer and Paul Sturrock. (Okay, the last one may not be on everyone's list). Messi is up there with the greats and, for that reason, I'll be quite happy if Argentina win the whole thing with the little genius scoring a hat-trick.
By the way, I've always felt that Britain owning the Falklands is a bit like Argentina owning the Isle of Man...

Noted. Although with Trump's propensity to change his mind at any given moment without seemingly realising he's doing it, your logic could evaporate over a Big Mac at any minute. Would you wish to be informed should that happen, or is blissful ignorance your preferred status on all things football?
