Naija's Red Card in 2010.

Not a controversial decision but certainly shocking.

Sani Kaita got beat up pretty good by the fans. Poor guy.

Counting down. . . to Naija match. Breathe in breathe out In Out . . .

Watching Peru-Denmark game. 39-yr old Gambia's Bakary Gassama (below pic) is referee. Up Peru!

This is where you heard Gassama before.

This Iceland team are this season's 98 Croat team.

I still love Messi though. Brilliant all around player, but blocked by a very determined and patriotic group that have something to prove. A tiny population of 334 k people with part-time footballers.

We need to be watchful of this Iceland team!

By the way, does it look like the referee hates the Argies? He gives them an angry "talking to" every time they fall down or have a grievance. Lol. I know Mascherano is a real pain in the neck though.

Argies' goal and Iceland goal celebration.

Iceland not dulling. Many of their players have other jobs beside futbol. It's a small population to choose from anyway. 334 thousand. I bet that's smaller than the population of any Nigeria state capital. . And they're keeping up with Argentina. One of the top 5 futbol nations of all time! In their first appearance at the World Cup tournament. Kudos to them.

Currently Argentina 1-1 Iceland.

It was a slightly scruffy goal, but who cares about that? Gylfi Sigurdsson’s low cross shot was palmed away unconvincingly by Caballero and felt straight o Finnbogason, who steered it calmly into the net from six yards
