The little genius in the flesh

I was so fortunate on so many levels to be at the Argentina v Egypt game yesterday.

If the England game on Sunday was the best so far, then yesterday ran it close. It was heartbreaking for the Egyptians, but to see Lionel Messi in the flesh and watch in awe as all around me their supporters made a cacophony of noise made for a truly memorable day.

Whether they were Argentinian, I’m not sure – it would seem odd an Argentinian would be out shopping at this time – but the considerable Latino populace in Miami clearly enjoyed it.
