Argentina defeated France in the World Cup final in Qatar on Sunday in a penalty kick shootout following a 3-3 tie.
I know, I don’t care about this either (I follow club football, not international), but for our cousins Across The Pond, it’s one of those situations where, to paraphrase Henry Kissinger, it’s a pity that both sides couldn’t lose.
France (old enemies) vs. Argentina (enemies since the Falklands War in the 1980s). No wonder the Brit response to the above was just a national shrug.
Oh, and for those Murkins who think that “soccer” is boring: this one was a thriller.
hate to be that person, but the Falklands’ War was in 1982.
Fixed, thankee. As you get older, the previous decades become a blur.
The Argies won because the team is probably filled with descendants of escaped nazis. That would strike fear into the French.
