I’m with Deadspin: Bring On Argentina!
Feathers
Argentina was practicing at Harvard on Thursday. Saw the huge crowds on the sidewalk & wondered WTF. Then I saw the Argentina and Madrid jerseys and guessed what was up. They had put up screens on the fencing, but there were people peering in at every gap and others holding their camera phones up over the fence. Also a really pissed off looking guy with a camera which had an enormously huge ass lens on it.
Anyway, my Copa story.

I’m with Deadspin too.
Here’s the story behind Bradley’s rainbow armband and the scramble to get it ready for kickoff.
And if you need me I’ll be on the front stoop getting the afternoon sun like a salamander on a rock.

Anybody have any good futbol phrases I can text a friend from Venezuela?

Looks like Argentina is putting on an exhibition game.

Wow. Arguably the worst taken penalty I have seen in my lifetime.
Someone needs to learn how to do a Panenka.

Venezuela really woke up after going down 0-2. That penalty’s gotta hurt, though.

@Onkel Fritze:
They need to step it up. If not for that blown PK and what was in effect an own goal by Venezuela, the score would be 1-1.
Onkel Fritze
@Steeplejack (phone): ‘Would be’. There was also that foul on Messi which should have been a penalty.

This Messi fellow seems like he is not bad at his job.

Another giveaway by Venezuela. Game over, man.

Usually in football I don’t end up telling the TV producer (like they can hear me) “Stop with the reaction shots to the goal! Another goal might happen right now!”

Huh, be careful what ya wish for is today’s lesson.

@humboldtblue: I am rooting for yellows for Argie players.

By the time Eric Wynalda gets done with his condemnation, conviction, and sentencing to a lifetime of ignominy and deserved ridicule poor Sejas will be carried off the field in irons for his penalty miss.

Wow the Argies look really really good.
