You're not reading this for Dave's sports thoughts, I know, and I'm not about to change direction. But I have a couple about today's World Cup semi-final, namely: Hello young friends in London, that really was too bad. Condolences.
And secondly: Sweet Jesus if you want something to fire you up with the belief that you should never lose hope, that there might still be a surge of power to come, that the course of things could still entirely change, well, that Argentina side there is your model.
After having been so glumly mute for so long, suddenly at the death the Argentinian stadium ranks were a roaring sea of blue and white, on fire with excitement.
