I am saddened by the fact that we no longer see Latin American football at the World Cup. This died at the altar of expediency. How many of us don't remember the fancy way of the Latinos but correspondingly their hard markings. Of course, these markings were sometimes in the carotid artery, so they stopped. I appreciate today the Argentinians who have Latin football in their DNA, maybe today they will be forced to kick. I find the French softer but faster, so to cut them, you might have to cut their… legs. The French have 5 cards so far and the Argentinians 12. I want to believe that the Argentinians will eat more cards, unless they are helped early by the score (they lead 2-0) and play loose.
