Today brings the first of two semi-final matches in the World Cup: Argentina (ranked #3) vs Croatia (#12). It's likely the last chance to win the World Cup for Argentina's Lional Messi, regarded by many as the best player ever. I suppose Argentian is favored, but Croatia has been playing very well. I'm thinking Argentina will win in a low scoring game. Game time is 11:00 a.m. PST on FOX.
The second semi-final is tomorrow at 11:00 a.m PST: France (#4) vs Morocco (#22). France is the favorite, but Morocco has overachieved by drawing with Croatia, beating Belgium (#2), and beating Canada (#41) in group play, then trouncing Spain (#7), and edging out Portugal (#9) in the knock-out stages. A Morocco win wouldn't surprise me. Tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. PST, on FOX.
The losers of these two semi-finals will play each other in a consolation match on Saturday to determine who gets 3rd and 4th. The winners meet in the Championship game on Sunday.
During a walk yesterday after an overnight rain, I spotted a nice pink rose...
Still struggling to understand why some of my images look over-saturated, I made three versions: one was clearly a bit garishr, one appeared to have relatively lifeless and pale colors. The one above is between these two in color intensity.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
