Hi, Bob.
Yes, these two extremes I suppose are a good definition of my country, and
a good explanation of why we are as we are in this moment (destroyed).
The cause of our doom is our damned "viveza criolla", something a bit
untraslatable, something like "argentine evil-smart-mind", looking always
for a shortcut, a leeway, an advantage.

Both articles are very good, but the Observer's one is absolutely great and
super accurate (except for the 5 o clock tea).
If you list member are not from here and want to understand us, read it.

Hi Albano,
over here we admire the 2nd goal tremendously. Every time the 'hamd of
God' goal is shown, so is the sublime goal (and vice versa). We find it
difficult to see how 2 extremes could co-exist in one man, and be revealed
in the same match. One of the joys of English football, though, is that
Owen's goal against Argentina in France was almost as good as
Maradona's against us!
For people who don't understand the nature of the England-Argentina
fixture, here are some interesting links discussing its history.
