When Argentina beat England in the 1998 World Cup, Buenos Aires erupted in celebrations so wild that the police had to use water cannon to control the ecstatic crowds.
I was in Buenos Aires on the Avenida Nuevo de Julio drinking champagne with the Argentines that day. What bedlam! What fun!Within seconds of the end, millions of people were pouring into the streets, chanting, dancing, blowing whistles and beeping horns.
Those inside ripped up books and hurled the pages from the windows, showering the city with instant, costly confetti.
In the Avenue Nueve de Julio, the vast, neon-lined highway that bisects the city, thousands of people danced around a 150ft blue and white Argentine flag, singing the anthem that is heard week in, week out on every one of the country’s football terraces.
Nothing like that in the States.

Way to go, C Piolo!
For some inexplicable reason, Argentinians and the English (not Brits, just English) have always had the most amazing love / hate relationship.
Still, it makes for exciting football..
