Right then, first the football, even though Argentina were dirty during the first half they were actually the better side in the second 45 minutes despite going behind. We withstood their onslaught for for while then with 20 minutes to go, Tuchel did what he thought was best, it wasn't! We didn't deserve to win.
What happened after the final whistle was completely out of order what with Argentina unfurling a banner stating that The Falklands was theirs. They need to read up on some history, yes they did nothing but 'drop by' a couple of year's before the British. However, if you wanted the islands that badly then you should have established a settlement. I lived in Trinidad, a few miles off the coast of Venezuela (note, not 400) and both were Spanish once. Technically, you could argue that Venezuela has more claim on that island except that Trinidad became British before Venezuela gained independence (Argentina becoming independent just before their 'visit' to The Falklands).
Now what. First, FIFA should come down heavily on the Argentine team as political statements are not allowed. Second, withdraw all work permits granted to Argentinian footballers. Will either happen, uummm, doubt it!
