For last nights game we skipped between the Pancake house and Buen Ayre to see how the different supporters were doing.
Despite the offer of free drinks for each goal the Pancake House was quite subdued - not too busy and no sign of Orange shirts. But it was 40 minutes to kick off.
So we went over to Broadway Market to check out Buen Ayre, which was packed. Lots of Argentina shirts (mainly Maradona ones) and lots of buzz. Unfortunately the pictures didn't come out.
If you want to see any of the Argentine games you need to book now - and I imagine they've already got bookings for the final.
Eveline emailed us to say "I went to that pancake house and saw the second half of the game there. I read you were there too on your website. Indeed I was the only one (of five people by the way!!) in orange. The game on the Ivory Coast I also watched there, which was also aweful. The staff there was standing in front of the TV all the time, serving their extremely expensive drinks (4,50 for a Leffe??) and running around if it was 100 people they had to serve. In fact it was about 20 people, nobody wore orange. Now I'll never go there again."
