Will España-Argentina top England-Frankreich? Two great teams face off tomorrow, OBVIOUSLY.
, but today’s game will be hard to beat.
I didn't realize there was going to be a halftime show until a saw a promo yesterday and read this morning it'll double the typical break from 15 to 30 minutes. I doubt very many people want a show at intermission so why do it??
FIFA found a way to make more money. They are claiming it is a fundraiser for one of their charities. I am sure that any FIFA run charity is super efficient with no grift whatsoever.
And would pocket your chalk and walk off with the chalkboard as well.
As I recall, Beckenbauer is the other to captain and coach a World Cup winner.
Argentinian experience and hectic play vs Spains ability to dominate the ball, play great defense, and frustrate the opposition. I can't discount Argentina because they never give up. I believe if Argentina is going to win they must score early and lead at the half. I don't think Argentina can make a comeback against Spain if they fall behind by two goals.
Yup - Kaiser Franz.
The only other person to win as player and coach was Zagalo, but he wasn’t captain of Brazil
