Falkland Islands coat of arms.
As the British government said, “The World Cup might not be ours but The Falkland Islands definitely are.”
The Argies need to get over the fact that they lost the stupid war that they started, over four decades ago. (There are plenty of other morons, in the 21st century, carrying on the tradition of starting stupid wars that they can’t finish.) I was in high school when that happened, and nobody would mistake me for a high school student these days. Even though I was in Ireland, nobody (again) would have come to the conclusion that Ireland, a traditional enemy of England, was supporting the Argies in their fight. The Brits and Margaret Thatcher won that boxing match defending their territory, and it’s time the Argies realised that and moved past it. A football team are certainly not going to “avenge” anything; they’re mostly a bunch of 21st century diving cry babies (including Messi) that weren’t even alive when their government sent their daddies to their deaths as cannon fodder.
It’s not even worth the ink (electrons) I’ve spilt here. The moron that made the sign that the Argies danced around after the match will never get back that time, but there are other things he (or she) has probably done with his (or her) life that have been equally pointless, but strangely satisfying at the time.
