Historically the final rarely ends up as the show piece.
Often, it is a match from the semi or quarter finals that is burnt in our memory and is looked back on as the match the eventual champions rose to the occasion of the World Cup.
Think 86', Argentina vs England, or more recently 06' Italy vs Germany.
In the quartet of matches that approaches us, there is a classic match awaiting.
Part 2
David and Goliath
Today, everyone's little David, has fallen. There are just two David's left.
One of them is Belgica, a return to the great stage.
They look to have been building, without nearly hitting their straps.
My Argentina, Goliath, using every once of energy to scrape through, despite promising so much more.
Something is not right for us.
It worries me, because I have huge hope and belief after Di Maria's goal.
It touched the soul of all Argentines.
However, this is usually where it has falls apart.
This match will be won from the technical area.
Alejandro has work, Marc has something up his sleeve.
I hope not.
We look to history, a Goliath number 10, and pray 'Que se repita!'
Is there any magic dust left for Costa Rica?
It looks to have run out.
And if not, it will need to be in it's most potent form.
LVG awaits. The, Master Technician of the moment.
He seems too ruthless to be born Dutch.
He does not care for ideas, or emotion. He only cares for the victory.
Can Los Ticos play the game of their lives, with all their heart, to produce one more miracle?
Or will they finally fall, to a Robben fall?
