Argentina!

No use sitting around moping, so our house guest and I took ourselves off to the Fan Fest for the second half of the Holland/Argentina game - which turned into extra time, then penalties. Feeling like a traitor to Brazil, England and Holland (after working for KLM for the best part of 22 years), I was rooting for Argentina, for two reasons: two young friends who arrived in Rio two days ago had won flights to Rio, hotel and tickets for the final - but only if Argentina was in the final; and we knew that an Argentine win would restore the party atmosphere to the streets, more than a Dutch one. Sorry, Holland!

And this is what happens if you try to take a shot of Argentine victory with a very slow point-and-shoot.
