It is the television I will cross the street to watch.
Or go down the street to AT&T Park to watch on the JumboTron, which is what I did this morning. I went bright and early and hung around in the Public House, which is the restaurant attached to the stadium, and watched Argentina play cat-and-mouse games with Nigeria. The Nigerian goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, was Man of the Match, as well he should have been, because he made at least three world-class saves.
The rest of the Nigerian team was fairly dire.
Argentina looked quite bright and sprightly, though they tended at times to kick the ball around just to look good. Lionel Messi (by acclamation, the current Best Player in the World) looked very good and got off several nice shots, all of which were parried by Enyeama. The redoubtable Enyeama had less luck with Gabriel Heinze, who snuck up from his defender position to head in a corner. Just when you thought you had contained all 5 or 6 or however many it is of Argentina's world-class strikers, the defender gets you.
So, 1-0 to Argentina, fair play to everyone.
