    The last three teams to have beaten Argentina at the World Cup have gone on to reach the tournament final (France, Germany, Croatia).

    Do you mean the Argentina team as a whole or Messi? I assume you mean the team as a whole, and yes their forward line was bullied by a more physical Saudi backline.

    It was just a reference to some saying players a lot taller than Messi were not big enough for us.

    Got a decent order from a new customer in Mexico about an hour ago, so I’m supporting them. <laugh>

    Is this game being played in Guadalajara? The noise level from the Mexican support is incredible.

    Well I do try to limit it. But old habits die hard and coming from a culture (i.e. the UK) in which alcohol is inbred into the social fabiric that is not easy. And I gotta say I do enjoy an occasional IPA.

    Amazingly quite a few countries consume more alcohol per capita than we do contrary to the picture presented by the anti alcohol fanatics in the health service.

    True. Partly due to an inbred culture of drinking against the clock due to our restricted opening hours and also in Europe drinking is just part of a night out, often accompanied by a meal and conversation in cafe bars whereas booze is the sole focus of a night out here in a pub.

    You have to be over fifty to even remember the old restricted hours, I doubt it's having much of an impact nowadays. It's more about the discounted Jagerbombs and tequilla slammers and various other cocktail promotions that city centre bars seem obsessed with.
