Attempting to find a reason behind a French decision is equal to figuring out ....

What does a woman want ? (well, ok, not as bad) -lol

I agree with the referee's performance, so far has been quite good if perhaps a little strict, (but not out of line). I believe that strictness (along the financial fines), is the reason why we have not seen any antics and/or over aggressive playing.

Now.... Argentina v England....

I guess we are on opposite ends as I would love to see Argentina beat them in a decisive manner to clear any doubts over prior victories -g.

However, I would NOT like to see any antics by either team as it would spell disaster for whoever does them given the quality of referees we have seen, (hence the game would be a waste --and I am getting up early to watch it !!)

I truly hope this will be a game to remember and may the best team win.

Having seen the quality of the soccer played in this tournament, (by most all participants), I believe that from now on, the World Cup will truly be a WORLD championship.

Re: Uruguay... They have played like that forever... at least I remember them that way since I watched them when I was a kid... very tough defense, and rarely score, but once they do... you are dead... hard to overcome such advantage against Uruguay. Frankly I do not understand it since I know they have very talented players... seems to me they are just stubborn. (maybe they have a little too much French in them -gg)
