True, for the most part, the superior team advances, but in a sport where one goal can (and often does) make all the difference, being lucky doesn't hurt.
I hope that Argentina's fragile defense and even more fragile luck continues to hold out. Next up is another European team - a formidable Belgium team who eliminated my adopted country (fútbol-wise) of America. At the very least, I am very grateful to the USMNT - the Von Trapps - for pushing Belgium into extra time. It would have been a tremendous disadvantage to Argentina if it's next opponent was fresher and played less minutes.
I know God probably doesn't ultimately care about the results of the matches, but I know He cares about hearts. And my heart is thankful that Argentina gets to play another match.
