A very balanced, though disappointed account of the Argentina – Germany clash, read it here.
The general mood here has been lightened considerably by the news that both Brazil and England are also out of the competition. The media have moved on already to the local league and pre-season news but it seems a little petty and boring in the shadow of the last few weeks.
In other news, this blog is considering a future away from football by changing its name again and writing about other stuff that could reasonably be expected to be found under the url: argentina2006.wordpress.com
More on that when the world cup is over.

Just before the Brazilian team was about to get on the field to play against England, Ronaldinho noticed that his teammates were looking a little glum.
”What’s wrong?” he asked.
With a sigh, Cafu said “well, I really tried to get myself ready for this game. I purposely donated my captain’s arm band to the Canadian team for their game against Peru. I met with a hypnotist yesterday to make sure I would not expend more than half an effort. However, none of us can find any motivation to play England.”
Ronaldinho, with his beady eyes stared at his team with compassion. “It is malicious that FIFA expects eleven Brazilians to have to endure a game against these unskilled Englishmen. I think it is wiser if you guys head back to the pub and I’ll undertake this farce by myself.”
The Brazilian team looked at Ronaldinho with wonder. Kaka and Adriano could barely suppress a cry of joy at this display of football piety. On behalf of the team, Dida gave his thanks and declared that he would personally seek a candidacy from the Vatican for Ronaldinho to be canonized. After a few quick mutters of agreement, the Brazilian team quickly ushered themselves out of the Stadium thinking only of the ale they would be abusing.
So Ronaldinho went out and played the English team by himself. After a few pints, the Brazilian team wondered how Ronaldinho was faring. A big cheer erupted from them when the television indicated Brazil 1 (Ronaldinho 10 minutes) – England 0. Many pints later, the game is almost forgotten until Ze Roberto realizes an update on the score was called for. The television reads Brazil 1 (Ronaldinho 10 minutes) – England 1 (Lampard 89 minutes). With less enthusiasm, another cheer erupts from the team and they pat each other’s backs in honor of how Ronaldinho single-handedly got a draw against England.
They rush back to the Stadium only to find Ronaldinho contorted with a sad pig-faced expression. “I let you guys down” he bellows.
“Don’t be ridiculous, the English only scored on you at the end of the game!”
“No, I have let you down” Ronaldinho moaned, “I was sent off after 12 minutes.”
