Cry for Argentina

What a day for the Argies. First David Nalbandian, who evidently asked for an early match today at Wimbledon so that he could watch the evening's World Cup quarterfinal (see that story here), got his early match and then made an early exit, dismissed by Spain's Fernando Verdasco.

Then Nalbo and the rest of the Argentine faithful had to suffer through an agonizing loss to Germany on penalty-kicks. A post-match fracas left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. And finally, to close out the day, Argentina's coach Jose Pekerman resigned his post, a beaten man.

If the news comes over the wires tomorrow that the world has lost its taste for cocaine and steak, you know the Lord has Argentina in His crosshairs.
