    Argentina looks horrible. Terrible goalkeeping; overrun in midfield; Messi never gets the ball in dangerous territory; the other big name talents can't get the ball either (Aguero, Higuain, Di Maria, Dybala). Why they don't start Di Maria or Dybala is a mystery best known to their idiotic coach. At least I didn't bet on them (although I was rooting for them).

    The way the tournament is looking so far, I expect a European team to win. Viva Mexico! Belgium (the one team I bet on, not because of my soccer expertise, but because I have a gambling tactic in this game, about which I will tell the tale at a later date) is looking good. France and England looked mediocre and won. Spain is scraping by,but displaying their usual tiki, tiki weaknesses. Russia looks as good as anyone, but it's a well known fact that they aren't. Maybe I'll root for a fist time winner: Belgium, Croatia, Mexico?
