If England aren't destined I would also like to see Argentina win, for the same reason. He deserves to win just for that pass against Netherlands! Out of this world.

I think the best world cup that I remember was 1978. The ticker tape parade greeting Argentina as they beat Holland in the final, and Archie Gemmel's amazing goal in beating Holland, yet still they didn't get through to the next round, and England didn't even qualify for the second world cup running.

Despite my initial high-minded humanitarian objections! I am now bloody glued to it. I thought it would be a damp squib; but how wrong.
Very open, constant surprises, great games.
I can't wait to see how England France unfolds tomorrow evening...
But if the drama for England ends, as you say, there is plenty more elsewhere and I think if Morocco progress any further they will be supported by billions around the globe...

Really - so many terrific games. I do think an Argentina - England final could be fabulous but what if little Morocco makes the final? Against tiny Croatia? It's really wonderful TV.
