How 'bout that England vs. Argentina match??
I know I'm in a good mood!!!!
Can we say 1 - 0 England??
We thought that Argentia played better. I think they had possession for like 67% of the time while England had only 33%. I thought that England's attempts at the goal had much more quality. Man and those last 10 minutes drove me crazy! Where was the defense?? Ay yay yay....
I would have rather Engand had not won on a penalty kick, but hey a win's a win!
I was in the Los Angeles airport in 1998 when the last World Cup match England vs Argentina was on. (I was seeing off a neighbor who was moving back to Germany.) A sports grill restaurant was located in the terminal and *EVERYBODY* was crowed around the TVs which face the walkway. Funny enough, there was a flight to London on one side and a flight to Buenos Aires on the other! So, as one can imagine, it was a crazy sight! When it came down to the shoot-out I think I stopped breathing. None of us were breathing. Unfortunately, England lost that match. I guess that just makes this win even better!!!
Well, Nigeria isn't going to advance; so I guess that's good news. England's next fixture is vs Nigeria so I guess that's even better news.
United States' next fixture is against Poland!
Of course I'm rooting for United States. But, IF Poland manages the win, I guess the loss won't be as bad. My family is from Poland.
BUT - I'm still going to holler for the US!!!
