Argentinians sure have an inflated view of their fighting abilities. They think they can beat Germans in a fist fight, and thought they could take the Falkland Islands from the British. Both times they started what they could not finish. I am happy the Germans won the game, even if they were playing on the dirty side during the second half.

The Falklands war was a wag the dog case.

General Galtieri was so unpopular at home because of a bad economy and under assault by the mothers of missing soldiers. The invasion of the Falkland Islands was a distraction.

In the course of business I have met many people from Argentina. On the whole they are charming and very polite.

The same cannot be said for most Germans I have encountered.

Go England! Go Brazil!
