Whatever happens tomorrow, it’s a great clash. Talked up a bit in Germany, talked down a bit here in Argentina – there’s a lot of tension and nervousness and tomorrow it will either be popped or wound up further.
At midnight the night before, Clarin’s leading with a managerial story about Klinsmann having a lot of respect for Pekerman. La Nacion is squaring up the two influential midfielders with similar styles, Ballack and Riquelme, and quotes Pekerman as saying both that Argentina are favourites, and that he’s not naming the team until the last moment.
Come back for some reaction after the match.
