Mondiale Day 3

I didn’t bother watching the France-Australia game. Argentina-Iceland has been a very good game between two very different teams. I can’t believe Bjarnisson missed that sidefooted attempt at an open net, but Iceland made up for it only a few minutes later. Aguero’s goal was a nicely placed, highly technical shot which gave the goalie no chance to block it, and I thought the ref’s no-call on the inadvertant handball on the ground in the Icelandic box was an excellent one.

Argentine looked to overwhelm them for a little while after they scored, but Iceland is tough and didn’t crack. It wouldn’t shock me if they wore the Argentines down in the second half and pulled off yet another upset.
