Another old photo rescued from decades old CDs that were still readable.

Of course I'm gonna write about the World Cup.

Today's match is France vs Morocco. Although Morocco is highly ranked they haven't overpowered anyone. Meanwhile France seems to be a team without weakness. I give France an 85% chance of winning.

Tomorrow it's Spain vs Belgium. Maybe Belgium gained confidence from routing USA, but Spain is the better team - I give Spain a 75% chance of winning.

Saturday has 2 matches:

First it's Norway vs England, and I have no idea what to expect. England hasn't dominated as their #4 ranking would expect. And Norway could beat any one as long as Haaland is on the field. I see this as even but I wouldn't be surprised if Norway upsets England.

Then it's Argentina vs Switzerland. Everything points to an Argentina win, but maybe they've been relying too much on late game heroics by Messi. Still, I think Argentina should win.

France have nailed Morocco.
That's a lovely captured motion shot of the geese.

Thank you, sir.

I was very pleased that I found those old CDs and quite surprised that they were still readable.
