Think the story of why Argentina sing about the Falklands/Malvinas so much is worth thinking about a bit more deeply than just feigning outrage about it. So I asked some people. observer.co.uk/news/sport/ar…

Excellent article from which I learned a lot. Small quibble, it should be "Canten, putos" rather than "Cantan, putos" and I wish there was an English translation edition of the book.

Why do the English sign about the IRA and 10 German bombers when they ain’t playing Ireland or Germany?

It’s odd that the Argentinians, who never had any sovereignty recognised in the Falklands and no indigenous people to link to their claim, recognise that the war was a dictator’s stupidity but blame GB for fighting back. They hope there is oil. True then, true now.

Interesting read, thank you. I get embarrassed by the England fans who go on about WW2, is there an element of that feeling in Argentina?

Interesting to see in that photo that even without his hand Maradona still out jumped Shilton

The meathead little Englander hordes won't like this one little bit. And I love that.
