Now let’s see you actually take possession of the Falklands.
Soccer is boring, but wars aren’t. Let’s see some action.

That would be bold if they took away the win.

It’s amazing (not) how people on the left do not have the slightest interest in what the people of the Falklands prefer.

The UK is so addicted to cultural suicide that its government probably would surrender the Falklands without a thought.

It’s unlikely anyone else would step up if the UK folded.

Obviously we should just give the Falklands nuclear weapons and tell the fishermen and sheep herders to defend themselves.

Half of Argentinian players earn good money in England. David Beckham owns Miami football club and pays good money to Messi. And, still, the idiots are running around with the meaningless slogans.

True! Falklands have 40,000 sheep and 4000 Brits.

The Falklands is still a serious sore spot for the Argentinians. In 2014, the crew from BBC’s Top Gear got attacked while filming in Argentina because someone thought the license plate on Jeremy Clarkson’s car — H982 FKL — was meant to be a taunt over the 1982 Falklands war.

As if Clarkson had some bone to pick with the Argentinians, plus he had enough pull with someone in the Ministry of Transportation to get a specific set of numerals on his plate.

That’s some tin foil hat stuff.

There is no love lost between Argentina and England.
The Falklands War is being fought on the “Football Pitch?”
It is over, take a deep breath and get over it!
England 1 Argentina 0
