It may be due to the fact that the Falklands war occurred at an impressionable stage of my adolescence but I canโ€™t be the only one who took great delight in the Croatian victory yesterday. I particularly enjoyed seeing the agony on Maradonnaโ€™s coke bloated cheating face and the Argentina players reverting to type moaning, diving, kicking and whining when they knew the game was up. Iโ€™m not anti Argentina in all respects, I used to like Ossis Ardiles and Ricky Villa and I thought Zabaletta was very dignified in his punditry despite everything. Messi? It certainly was!

Sod the Falklands, it is the Hand of God that puts the Argentinian national side in the "Great Satan" category for me and why I would always want them to lose any match.

I'm with Rob on this. The Falklands was a sad episode (and they can still keep their fecking hands off it). But the joy at seeing them lose, and lose badly, stems from the Hand of God in 1986 and the joy they had at the penalty shoot out win in 98. They've always been dirty, cheating illegitimates. A joy to watch when they're playing the game, but irritating when they start the gamesmanship.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
