Sling Em out

Cannot see how Messi and the Flag bearers should be allowed to Start , Any guarantee they will not be using the WC Final as a Political platform Again ?

They have never owned the Falkland Islands.
They were not the first people to inhabit the Islands. The Brits were there before they were.
Most modern day Argentinians are descendants from 15th century Spanish colonists - they are the invaders who displaced the natives and indigenous population, they cannot see that irony, or they do not know their own history.
Their government sent their children unprepared into that war, it wasn't the British responsible for any deaths, they were provoked by their governemnt.

Argentine currency on the floor, at an all time low up against the dollar, Falklands perfect distraction tool as it usually is when their in trouble.

FIFA wont do anything, they've done this before, small fine given, all they care about is Messi in the final. They've got what they wanted and even put an MLS ref in the World Cup semi final to ensure it, or at least that was the plan, how can you put a ref reffing that standard of football into the game of that magnitude is beyond me, it's the equivilent of League 2.

Kind Regards.

You think the likes of Missi would have a bit More Sense TBH ,if going to do it, Do it at the Final or after it , But then they they wouldn't be trying to wind the English team up

plenty of political agendas could have been brought to the fore during the WC , thankfully few were


I wonder if Missi Would join the army if he needed to ?

It's OK for Messi, his cash is made.

Some of these lads want to play in epl

Poor ossie ardiles had to feck orf, to Paris,
during the war..

Ardiles had to go on loan to paris, because of the war

Some of the banner boys want to play in epl

90 percent of English people would have no clue were Falkland Islands were and 99 percent of football team would have no clue and no interest in it.

Why should it matter where the Falklands are. ??  Its British overseas Territory, voted to stay British by 99% of the population.
I for one was glad to have played a small part in keeping it that way.  (Putting a helipad on the QE2 )

Well done I skip my hat to you, I personally couldn’t care about Falkland Islands and what dispute is about, nothing to do with me.
Not sure why it is a big issue for Argentina or England.
I don’t think England players could care about it perhaps Argentina players do care, who knows ? Maybe that was motivation? Don’t know wasn’t involved

Maybe when England won WC in 66 there was WW2 mentioned in team talk, don’t know I wasn’t there.

Lots of folk hated Germans back then, lost loved ones in war, maybe the Russian linesman too.

Don't suppose we ever find out.

There was definitely fan talk afterwards, I remember the chants. Two World Wars and One World Cup doo-dah, doo-dah. Incidentally Argentina declared war on the Germans just before the end of WW2.

The 4 semi finalists this year have all been
at war with each other.

To Be expescted from the Crowd on Both sides , Not the players

Messi for one should know better , pathetic TBH

I don’t think England players could care about it perhaps Argentina players do care, who knows ? Maybe that was motivation? Don’t know wasn’t involved

   Are you nuts Malay its pretty obvious you were not involved ( luckily), did you miss the Argie dressing room celebrations singing about the Falklands, and if you missed that surely you saw their players singing and dancing with the Malvinas sign. ??

Honestly Glasgow didn’t see anything we had bet England to win trophy so all I seen was on the pitch to get into final.Best team won no complaints from myself.
