Half an hour before kickoff...My distant relation (my sister's ex-mother-in-law's nephew, and therefore her children's second cousin and our second cousin once removed through marriage), our coach Marco van Basten has just revealed which players he'll be fielding. Regardless of which side will end up group winner, I'm sure it's going to be a great match to watch. If you look at all the previous times Holland have played against Argentina, they have always been spectacular, not least because the Argentines play in the tradition of the Dutch school of football: totaalvoetbal, or in Spanish "el fútbol total".
In the audience, our crown prince and his Argentinian wife. And I'm sure Maradona will be there again as well. Oh yes, it's probably going to be a wonderful match to watch.
ETA: Half-time, and 0-0. A few chances for Argentina, but none they could cash in on. Let's hope the 2nd half will add a little more spice.
ETA2: And Argentina are group winner on goal differential. Not bad. They done well. And so did we.
