Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath

Waiting For The Man - The Velvet Underground

Congratulations indeed! Wire-to-wire victory - well done, Justify!

My hope for Argentina is purely sentimental - I'd like Messi, Aguero and the other current stars to be able to win it. I was really disappointed for them when they didn't win 4 years ago - this is the current crop's last chance. (All kudos to Germany for being able to beat them in Brazil.) The US played well against France - too bad they'll only be watching very soon now... Don't take the friendlies too seriously - the teams that are going to the WC aren't going to have the same fire in those games as they will in the proper competition. Those matches are really more important for those who aren't going.

Last Night On Earth - U2

I always root for England when the US is out, but, having lived in England for the last two World Cups, some of the "quiet desperation" (as Pink Floyd properly called it on "Time") has seeped in. For those living there (and are old enough to have first-hand knowledge), has this reticence existed from 1970 onward, or is the memory of 1990 the main culprit? (Or is it something else?) If/when England get knocked out, I hope Belgium or Argentina win it.

Looking at this makes me wonder why I'm not in Colorado... (Thanks for the image! )
