For the second World Cup semi-final, I chose to watch Argentina -v- Netherlands at Moo Cantina in Pimlico with lots of Argentina fans.
It was super-packed, so I again took to hanging around outside.

It wasn't the most exciting match (until the penalties!) so people watching was again the order of the evening.
Best thing about the Argentina fans so far? The man dressed in a grey shaggy dog onesie waving a small Argentina flag. #ARG

Argentina fan here did a very dramatic "touch wood" gesture by thumping a flower bed surround.

Singing as if they're winning: a song which seems like a ten stanza epic. https://t.co/hR2ZJ2f81a

A goal was disallowed, leading to roars and disappointment.

But, in the end, Argentina came out victorious, leading to celebrations (which sadly I didn't photograph, as my phone battery was perilously low).
The Argentina fans are going crazy, chanting, bellowing, stripping off, cheering.

"Ole ole ole cada dia te queiro mas," sing the Argentina fans, "soy Argentinoooo!"

And as I sloped home on the bus, London served up fans from both Uruguay and Netherlands on the bus.
On bus home sitting next to a fan in a Dutch t-shirt. Sad for him. He sat stoicly watching the Argentina fans dancing up a storm.

Meanwhile, behind the Dutch fan on the bus, a lady from Argentina is posing for photos in her autographed football shirt, cackling joyously.
