Your dream game (Argentina v Spain) is contingent on Argentina getting by France tomorrow. (Obviously, doh...) I doubt that will be an easy outcome, but I bet it will be fun to watch. Will Messi be a dominating force or will France find a way to contain him? I'm psyched for the game!

It's interesting to me that Higuain isn't starting.

[ilan]

Higuain and Aguero haven't done much so far in the WC, but they could catch fire at any time, so it is a bit perplexing.

[dara]

France score first on a penalty. I'm not that sure about that, it looked incidental, not intentional.

[ilan]

I agree...

penalty's in soccer are so lame.......of course players are going to bump into each other...Ref's can't be throwing those cards around like candy...Let the players play...........I think Soccer should adopt Hockey Rules...like the {Penalty Box} .....keep a player out of the game for a number of minutes...instead of a one on one kick into the net..............This is one of the reasons I don't really watch soccer...The other reason is all the fake injuries ................

[dara]

Golazo DiMaria!!!!

[ilan]

Powerful strike!

[dara]

France is clearly faster than Argentina, and may have had a better half. But Argentina had more possession.

[ilan]

Yeah, I do think France had the better half. I hope Argentina can step it up in the second half. France almost certainly has at least one more goal in them.
