I like Argentina . Been there a couple of time-Salta, Mendoza, Bariloche, San Martin de Los Andes, Ushuaia, Perito Moreno , Iguaza , BA. Only in BA can you stroll along and amongst all the Latino street names come across a 'O'higgins Street' or a 'Mckenzie Avenue'. The scots built the railways there at the turn of the century and there is a lot of UK influence. Nice country, great culture-very varied, sophisticated citiy life and country Gauchos. it amuses me that you can go out for a a meal at 930 in the evening and everything is closed. Go out later at 11 even on a school night, and the place is buzzing. Fabulous if you are a carnivore. Quilmes beer will win it for,the Argies 1-0.
It's in the rules - you aren't allowed to prevent a German goalkeeper from grinding you into the dirt. It's their right.
I was at duxford air show today and saw the products of british industry when we had our backs against the wall. I sat with a lump in my throat with the constant sound of merlins, the effortless grace of the spitfire, the absolute dominance of the Lancaster and thought. Who gives a fuck about football.
How about Christine Kirchner V Angela Merkel in a one off fight to the death to decide who wins, game is concluded, and their is one less annoying power crazy president.
