Vamos Espana!

Now is the acid test for Fifa. Uefa banned Spanish players for their Gibraltar outburst so let us see if Fifa have the will to enforce a proper punishment on Argentina. Won't help England but would be sweet if Argentina finally face justice for all the cheating and scuminess over the years

Win win really isn't it. 

 

Either Argentina lose and the world collectively breathes a sigh of relief. 

 

Or Argentina win and Cristiano Ronaldo has a meltdown on the spot at Messi winning his second world cup.

Thats the way to look at it. Thats like the Premier League each year, when one of the big ones win it; at least the other 4 big ones did not win it (Spurs can't been considered a big one anymore).

Spain should show another masterclass in choking your opponent, but them Argentines really are the mentality monsters. Still think Spain.

European ref for the final..

 

Argentina might not like it and let's hope he is strong and doesn't let the game turn into a niggly tetchy  bum fight with no football played.

I feeling more of a spain victory is looming, I look at Spain both defensively and attacking wise they just seem to got it perfect. Spain have got much younger squad which I feel will be lethal against ageing Argentina team. If only England just kept pushing with our youthful wingers and wing backs we could have done the job.

Now the US government has chipped in absolutely no chance of any proper sanction against Argentina players not that there ever was

I see the winners all get a Super Bowl type ring.

 

How very American.

I don't mind the ring as such – bit tacky but when in Rome, do as the Romans do. No different to a medal apart from being a bit naff.

 

It's the fact (high earning, no doubt) Joe Public will be able to buy a few as well  Rendering their value to the players absolutely worthless.
