  • Alcaraz celebrates!

    Alcaraz was there watching when Spain won
    the World Cup. It was a well-deserved victory
    as Spain played much better overall.

    Argentina was like England in the semifinals,
    desperately trying to defend only. When Spain
    scored 1-0 lead, after that Argentina tried some
    offense but with bad results.

    Argentina was totally outclassed. Messi wasn't on the pitch, it seemed. Total shots 2 (against 20), neither of the 2 on target. Argentina had possession a bit in their own half. Not for long, usually. Spain was
    robbed of a goal. Argentinians were over-represented in play-acting,
    shirt yanking and in outright hoodlumming. Which eventually cost them
    the red card. And another after full-time. Plenty was left not whistled.

    Thanks goes to upstairs for not letting it go to penalties. If 1/20 is
    in, that's always a possibility. Spain maybe lacks really really good scorers. Hard to say. But the depth is outstanding. All sorts of people
    off the bench can decide it for them.

    I expected Argentina to be toothless against Spain, but not that
    toothless. Maybe France-Spain was moral final after all. (Or Cap Verde-Spain???)

    All congrats to Spain, best team by a huge margin.
