^^Thanks AFC, a nice reference to "those days" with your clip.

About the Saturday games, i think the Russia match will be a throwback game, i.e. Argentina-Peru 1978, Korea-Italy 2002 among other examples. On Friday, the French-Uruguay game has the Argentinian ref, although a really good ref, its an interesting pick, could there be something to that?

Uruguay and Argentina are about as close as you can get in terms of geography and cultural similarities. Argentina has more diversity as you get a way from the capital but still...

I think Brazil-France looks like a good semi-final but i could be wrong. Until Belgium breaks through and beats a top team its hard to know what they have. Serbian ref for that one, should be a good choice.
