The Argentina match against Nigeria (26-JUNE) was surreal... 64.5K fans, about 80% of which were Argentina supporters.  As if it were a home game with AFC Championship Game-like atmosphere in St Pete (Pictured on right: Eric Foster, Erica Mapa, Reza Amidi, Alejandro Aragon). 

Got to spend one hour walking around World Cup media center and Fan Fest in Moscow's Red Square from 3-4am in morning during a layover. I'm now in Paris getting ready to don Argentina gear braving what may be a friendly and boisterous French crowd in an outdoor game-screening of the first round of 16 game, Argentina vs France... Vamos Argentina!!!!
