As for tonight's match, I'll admit I was pulling for the Ivory Coast. They generated the better chances, played a captivating style and provided more entertainment. But the finishing left a lot to be desired, and that's why they're facing a must-win against the Dutch in an orange vs. oranje clash that should be a great one.
The atmosphere here was remarkable. Thanks to a cantilevered fabric roof, the sound is amplified and it stays in the building, and the Argentines were in fine voice. Most neutrals were on the side of the underdogs, as evidenced by the shrill chorus of whistles that accompanied virtually every Argentine touch of the ball in the waning moments of the match.
More later -- I have a shuttle to catch.

Ivory Coast was very good. Only wish they capitalized on their shots...
