  I dont want to rain on your parade, but Argentina could have used a little good news as of late. For those who dont know, Argentina is in the middle of a huge economic crisis, maybe the worst economic crisis in history. The country is broke. People are going hungry. Those that can get out of the country are doing so in droves, by whatever means at their disposal. And things continue to get worse.

  There is fear that if things dont improve soon and/or they dont receive some sort of assistance, their government may collapse and there may be a return to the violent and repressive dictatorships and military juntas of the past. In the past fifty years or so, only one president has completed his term in Argentina. Since last December, Argentina has had five different presidents. The current president, Eduardo Duhalde doesnt enjoy much popular nor political support.

  So while I congratulate England on their victory, I feel bad for the Argentines who are in dire need of something to lift their spirits.

  cpiolo may be quite right . I have every human compassion for the Agentine people.

  BUT THIS IS FOOTBALL!

  that team has wound us up for decades, and cheated their way to victories

  Isnt it great that they are going home! Perhaps their millionaire players from Barcelona and Man.U can contribute towards the national crisis ..Come On ENGLAND!

  I feel sorry for what they are going through as a country but winning a football match was not going to solve those problems.

  We were due some payback for ye-olde-hand-of-god malarke.

  Yes, it is football. Yes the Argentines and many others play dirty. Yes, Argentines can be pompous and arrogant. No, winning a football match won't solve anybody's problems.

  So:

  Goooooooooo England!

  Cheers,

  I understand that they are very nice people off the football pitch. CP, you are a South American but not Argentinian, yes?
