The dream World Cup final is off.
I was wondering why The Old Guys (because they are literally old and guys) weren’t taunting me about the Wimbledon results, and then I saw the World Cup scores.

Ay caramba, Argentina is out of the World Cup! Not just out, but thoroughly thrashed and humiliated by Germany, 4-0. Oh, the ignominy! And right after Holland booted Brazil out 2-1 to cancel their dream final. I expect The Old Guys are pickling their livers right now. I feel for you ancients, but if you want a Latin American final there’s still Paraguay and Uruguay.

Ayayay no more Paraguay, but Spain is. . .Spanish-speaking.

this was particularly devastating because
1.) Messi’s unassuming stature and Maradona’s craziness has made Argentina my favorite team
2.)For some reason, I can never bring myself to root for ze Germans. Perhaps because I just finished watching that amazing National Geographic documentary Apocalypse The Second World War. That’s just a wild guess though.
