Why do you have respect for their rugby team? Did you see what happened after the game on Saturday. They started a fight and started pushing the ref after he rightfully called their try back. They are just as thuggish in Rugby as in Football. This seems to be part of Argentinian culture.

Their supporters dancing and spitting on the English flag really turned me off. Absolute scum.

That's where the (mostly) bit comes in. The rises of nationalism in Argentina will lead to conflict with UK soon enough.

By the time this shot was taken he was standing with his back to the cameras applauding the team.

People make it sound like they removed him from the photo.

He was in a uncomfortable position half in the way for 5 seconds. There will be hundreds of good pictures without Trump.

Rugby is supposed to be a bit "thuggish"
I didn't see them push the ref, I think you are lying. That is not tolerated.

Argentina making the Falklands thing a issue is just silly. They have enough real problems.

Looks pretty bad to me. There was many off the ball incidents during the game

Ah yes, finally.

After more than a month, footballing parity is restored. All is well with the world. The dirty, cheating Argies (finally the entire world could see what everyone else was on about) got what was coming to them. Even Infantino couldn't save them this time! Cracking goal to win the whole thing from Spain, too. Took their sweet time, though!

Glad it's finally over, and that we can go back to normal football: no more mid half ad breaks, no more HT shows - and matches that are played at regular times.

Thing I'll miss the most is updating the free WC tracker thing that was on my fridge every morning.
