Vamos, Vamos Argentina!

Vamos, Vamos Argentina!

Thanks to a tip from my girl Sandra, I caught the game at the best location in town- a brazilian cafe out in Hyde Park called Café Brazil (53rd and Evans). The match was projected onto a big screen in the yard out back and about 60 or so Brazilians, Argentine folk and other futbol fans gathered around and drank beer and chanted and danced and otherwise went bonkers as the two great teams clashed.

Of course, the night did not turn out too well for the Brazil as the Argentina cleaned their clock 3 to 1. The Argentine squad looked great in the first half, dominating the Brazilians entirely. The second half was another story as the Brazilians really put the heat on and continously threatened, coming heart-breakingly close to putting in a couple of goals...

Also, the U.S moved one step closer towards a spot in the 2006 World Cup with a wonderful 3-0 victory over Panama.
