Has to be said, it was a match between men and boys.
Reminded me of what a colleague said to me when I was mocking Ecuador's chances pre-tournament, "would you say the same thing if they had some World Cup pedigree like, say, Uruguay?". "Course not", I replied. "Well, these boys finished well ahead of them in their qualifying group". I rolled my eyes at the simplicity of his argument. Sometimes it's best to keep it simple.
