Argentina played well and deserved to win; Wales didn't.
If your team gives its all and loses it's disappointing; when you know they 'could do better' it's disappointing and frustrating. Still most people, myself included, would have been satisfied - and to be honest, weren't expecting it - if they'd just got to the quarter-finals. The fact that they won their pool and thrashed Australia was a bonus.
By the time we got to the pier yesterday our resolve had weakened and Husband and I shared a portion of chips.
Then we went on the beach and I did something I've never done before: I climbed up the middle island and got some photos from a different angle.

The All Blacks beat Ireland yesterday too. A bad day for the northern hemisphere. Ireland was on a record-breaking winning streak and was one of the favourites to lift the World Cup, while the New Zealanders have had a rough tournament. But yesterday they certainly turned up.
This afternoon England takes on Fiji in another 'should win' game. Everyone is on tenterhooks.

Canada got knocked out in a very early round, of course, so I haven't heard much news since of the World Cup. I'm depending on your blog for updates!
I don't think anyone here knows rugger at all, so you are my sole source of news. I did watch some Welsh rugger match singing from various finals on YouTube, last evening, if that counts! Not knowing the game very well, that's my favorite part.
What?! 😲🤓 You share a plate of fries? I have never heard of such a thing.
Oops, sorry, just realized I was confusing the Rugby World Cup with the Soccer World Cup. I doubt if Canada even qualified for the Rugby competition. Sheesh, if it's not hockey, I don't know what's going on.
That is an amazing view in that one picture.
