Argentina is an embarrassment to the game.

They always have been and always will be. Their rough, chippy play coupled with their continuous diving at the slightest hint of contact have made me despise them for years. Calling back that second Spanish goal because of the Argentinian defender's theatrics was a joke. It was a good goal. Argentina do not compete honestly and somehow they get rewarded for it. I have no idea how they have gotten away with it for generations. It's nice to see the rest of the world finally catching on but I doubt FIFA will change anything.

Yesterday's game was an awful display, especially compared to the glorious 3rd place game on Saturday. England and France showed how good the game can be when skill is encouraged and on full display, only for Argentina to play so negative in the final.

The only highlight from yesterday's game, in my opinion, was Shakira. Holy smoke show. Waka Waka indeed.
