It needs to be stressed here that I'm betting on the score after 90 minutes and therefore the fact that Argentina win 1-0 after extra time is of no use to me. And I slept through most of the game. The lone sticker, Lionel Messi, sets up the goal for Angel Di Maria. Di Maria has a poor game and Alan Shearer says that he "keeps hitting front man with his balls". In many ways I think that's worse than what Saurez did. Di Maria apparently set a new World Cup finals record for most misplaced passes.
In the second game, Belgium v USA also ends goalless after ninety minutes but is a much more absorbing match. In extra time Belgium go two up in the first period, but the USA get one back right at the start of the second period but that is the end of the For the USA Tim Howard plays a blinder in goal but Eddie Johnson goes off injured, Belgian stickers are Eden Hazard who has a subdued game and Christian Benteke failed to make the squad due to injury. Howard sets a record for most saves in a World cup finals game since records began. And if your interested 'since records began' with regard to this sort of statistic is 1966.
The quest is almost over as I require 137 stickers with 190 left to reveal. Therefore I need a success rate of 72% to complete the set or 45.7% to be able to order from Panini. Betting running total: -£23.58.
