Stickers: World Cup Day 21

       Think this is pretty much unprecedented: one correct result and one correct score.
       A remarkable enough start with a correct result but also the only goalscorer

Via footballcardsdirect.com, another way of getting
 wanted stickers for only ten pence each
Gonzalo Higuain as one of the day's stickers.  Bit wide of the mark with 4-1; Argentina's Ezequiel Lavezzi starts but does not finish, Marcos Rojo is not selected despite playing well in the tournament thus far and Sergio 'Kun' Aguerro (a nickname phonically only one letter away from that of his ex-father-in-law, Diego Maradona) also fails to make an appearance, but he is injured. Belgian sticker Toby Alderweireld contrives to get himself booked.
    Again when I get a 0-0 prediction the only talking point is how long it stayed scoreless.  It is with great joy that I can tell you 120 minutes. Despite the £6 this made me plus the correct result for both games the betting is still adrift to the tune of £18.93, not one of my favourite tunes.
    Today I got the sticker of Korea's Hong Jeong-Ho. Isn't that what Jay Z called Beyoncé in Crazy In Love ?  I imagine that's the sort of thing that might get you punched in a lift.
   With 116 stickers still needed and only 110 to reveal the dream of getting a full set without ordering any has died. And the possibility of getting down to less than fifty needed looks decidedly dodgy.
