Watching Norway vs England

well, that didn't end the way that i had hoped it would.

Norway slips into the back country for observation of the heats ...

So the semis are:

France - Spain (as I predicted)

England - Argentina (well, I was half right).

While I love the idea of an England - France final given the history between those two nations, I suspect France - Argentina (my original prediction) is still more likely. I can't really see England beating Argentina but who knows?

I predict nothing ... because with real people you can't tell anything ...

France - Spain (as I predicted)

Welp, I did not predict Spain winning, let alone shutting out the French. That alone sets up an interesting final.

England-Argentina (Go Lions!!) coming up at 3pm today.

And the final is now set: Spain - Argentina. The Spanish vs. a former Spanish colony. I'm a bit torn. I have been to, and quite like, Spain. OTOH, one of my favourite bands right now is Argentinian (but currently live in Spain for career reasons) and have been doing some Tik Toks posing in Argentina's team colours while they are on their current tour. Maybe I'll flip a coin.

Loved watching both games.

I've caught snippets. The help desk put the games on the TV screen that normally displays the network monitor. My office is off to one side so I don't see that screen but I find reasons to wander out for a look now and then.
