But will there be a general strike on match day?

I am in Italy (which didn't qualify for the World Cup) and the country is pretty sad and dead. I miss Argentina's festive atmosphere. It is like Christmas, just with the wrong colors!

This thread is a bloody disgrace
Every Scotsman , Chilean , Italian and Paraguayan worth their salt knows its 4 years until the next World Cup

I like to look at the half full glass. I am in Italy and I have left the TV babysitting my husband for the whole time.
But I will be back days before the final, hoping to see Argentina win a World Cup. It would be one of those ‘I was there’ things you’ll tell your grandchildren !Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Being an argentinean, I will not became happy if Argentina wins the cup. For me the AFA and all Soccer organizations of my country are a bunch of bandits and thiefs, and they idiotize the whole of the public during those two weeks. After the cup, we shall be the same, with so many problems to resolve.
The worst manifestation of that evilness is to celebrate the famous "Hand of God" of the unbearable Maradona, nothing less against the English. This is not the way I would like to win the English. Only in the proper, gentlemanly way. Other options are a national shame.
Sadly, most of my countrymen still celebrate this tricky way to win with jollity.

I can understand Carlos's sentiments and up to a pint I agree.
But I also agree with Splinter ...it would be great to celebrate an Argentine win
Tomorrow is a big day . Argentina play and its Mrs GlasgowJohn's birthday.
She says no party - but I have arranged for 8 of her best buddies round for pizza and champagne after the game....
Home made pizza by me..champagne a mix of French , Spanish and local Chandon...

They often say “no party.” I’ve never gotten in trouble for giving one anyway.

My compliments to Mrs. Glasgow John. May the Good Lord give her many years of happiness.

I give thanks to all, British and Americans, for being on the side of Argentina. But I will ask a bit of moderation.
As Winston Churchill said,
"At war, resolution. At defeat, Dignity. At Victory; Magnanimity" and I would add. "low profile".

Argentines always are in the extreme: one day they think that they are the best, the other day they think they are the worst. That is why I claim for temperance and low profile.

Carlos, you do indeed seem to have escaped the famed Latin Temperament. Are you completely sure you aren't British???

Asking for temperance or low profile in Argentina is asking the impossible Carlos.

Mexico beats Germany 1 - 0.
That's a great result for Mexico, especially satisfying if you're Argentine.
