[Gonira]

Fantastic game against Spain, but a little ridiculous to have three handball penalties, especially two of them being wrong calls (imo).

[Gonira]

Curiously, the two finals so far had the exact same contenders as in real life: Uruguay vs Argentina in 1930 and Italy vs Czechoslovakia in 1934. We had a shift in the last final though and the Argentines won their first title 48 years earlier than they "should".

Could the Czechs of Oldřich Nejedlý reach there? Only if they beat the Roman crowd and the amazing Italy of Raimundo Orsi, Angelo Schiavio and Giuseppe Meazza.
