Disclaimer & comment rulesThis is absolutely priceless. What a shambolic mess of a country Argentina really is.
May 07th, 2012 - 07:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0Seriously, we would pay good money for this kind of publicity and the chance to show the world why we really really dont want anything to do with Argentina. And they've picked up the bill themselves. Thanks, guys.
The Argentine Government is the gift that keeps on giving with own goal after own goal after own.
May 07th, 2012 - 08:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0If the athletes play it straight then there will be nothing to worry about but I can't help thinking that if the IOC boot them out for political dirty deeds then the finger of blame will point at the UK and perhaps other countries might back out in sympathy (Venezuela).
Oh dear... now I feel sorry for them. In the heat of exasperation one tends to forget that the general population are actually more to be pitied than blamed.
May 07th, 2012 - 08:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0If Juan Curuchet is truly concerned about his athletes feelings if they are booed during the opening ceremony he should tell Madam President to ditch the “Malvinas Tracksuit” idea.
”And I don’t even want to imagine what could happen and how our athletes could feel if they are booed during the opening ceremony. How can they compete after that?”
May 07th, 2012 - 08:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe you should have thought about this when you offended the people of the UK, and the people of the Falkland islands with your memorial desecration and demands for land-theft.
I don't think you'll get booed though. No one here gives a furk about your country and their nazi-nonsense.

@13 The article doesn't state whether he's positively or negatively affected. You're right though, judging from his twitter account the visa-fraudster himself is getting a lot of positive praise for what danyberger would call 'the typical activities of a BNP member', i.e. desecrating memorials.

May 07th, 2012 - 10:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0ah poems, always good to help.
CFK has xxucked her team, when are you argies ever going to learn, give gives nothing of your opinion, and cares even less, she has in fact, possably put her own team in danger,
not of any rough stuff, but one of humiliation,
if they get booed or intimidated, and feel upset, and cant do what they were trained for, how does that make them feel,
they have train for years for this one in a lifetime, only to have it all ffucked up by a deluded loony .
Maybe the Falklanders should be capitalising on this combination of lies and nonsense, by investing in high quality sports training facilities, where people of different nations can go to train without fearing having their bicycles impounded nor the press breathing down their throats.
May 07th, 2012 - 10:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sure has made a mockery of the Olympic spirit though, and if it wasn't prevented by the british resolve to completely and utterly ignore the monkey-business of the Argtards, they deserve to be booed into tears.
CFKC who makes passionate speeches stating that everything she does is for Argentina and the Argentine people. Hmmm. So, the Argentine athletes spend years training and making sacrifices to represent their country, only to find their government withholds vital equipment unless they export goods to a similar value. What madness. What an insult to the Argentine people by the crazy megalomaniac President of Argentina.
May 07th, 2012 - 10:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0@20 KFC probably tells them that the pirates impounded them, and Argtards being weak minded just believe her.

Yes. They are memorials respecting people who died in wars that people like you engineered in a similar manner to which you are trying to engineer the next and that we are trying to avoid.
This is because we respect lives and we respect those who have died you do not. You just chuck 30,000 of them out the back of a transport plane without a parachute, laughing all the while. Your own people..
You don't understand the word respect be it in English or Spanish or any other tongue.
You are lying, cheating, murdering, warmongering disrespectful sod of dirt. The best of it is that you already know it and you feed off it.
@Guzz, When in Argentina, apparently you get to be a war hero for committing acts of genocide against the indigenous tribes whose land you are stealing.
May 07th, 2012 - 12:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So when you talk about raping and killing children, remember that is exactly what your ancestors did. Yes Guzz your Argentinian ancestors, because you are as much Uruguayan as the Pope is.
Hey, Guzz, why is your President CFK trying so hard to get Argentina banned from the Olympic games? Why is she denying the Argentinan athletes the equipment they need to train?
Is it to try and distract you fellow countrymen from their empty bellies, and cold houses. If the IOC ban Argentina, will she be blaming everyone else but herself? Is she going to pull the victim card on more time?
It must be awful living in a country full of victims. No awful isn't the word I was looking for...pathetic, that's right. You are pathetic and so is your government.
Whatever is said, you really have to feel a bit sad for the athletes caught in the middle. There is a sports blog in Chile that describes how sports equipment is being smuggled over by athletes to get around the customs mess. Argentinian authorities are charging under the table roughly USD400-500 per crossing.
May 07th, 2012 - 12:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Spread the word what they have done on Facebook, Twitter, and any other media outlet. Let the world know that they are scum who don’t know the word honour. This is the best way to bring Argentina down. They have handed us the best possible weapon to bring them down.

That will annoy the Argentinian government far more than any outraged cries from the crowd, because that's what she wants, like any bully she's trying to provoke a reaction and then pull the victim card.
We just won't play her silly little game.
35: To be fair I do pity the athletes to a certain extent, but surely the best thing is to show the Olympics that they mean business and kick Fernando Zylberberg off the squad for his demoralising behaviour? If the team do get any negative reactions in the UK (and I hope they don't, pawns as they are) it will be only him and his President to blame. They can't get rid of CFK yet, but...

I do feel some sympathy for the many Argentines who have dedicated their lives to international sport and spent countless hours training and working to represent their country at the Olympics, only to have their gormless Government swipe the ground from beneath their feet.

All the Falklands and UK need to do is quietly sit back and watch - she started it- we have the moral high ground and the Int support in this case. If she wants to dig a hole - then thats her problem.
I would hope that if they do go to London that their team are not booed - that is not sporting at all and the rest of us I hope are above CFK,s level, and whatever happens will not be the fault of those athletes- with one exception of course!
I cannot have much sympathy for the people of Argentina. They voted for her; they got her.
May 07th, 2012 - 01:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@35 I completely agree. The athletes are the losers here, also the Argentinean public. I am sure, with a few exceptions, everyone wants to see their team compete and do well in the Olympics. Why does CFK have to put the Falklands issue in everything? Is that really what Argentines want, for this issue to be in the press everyday?
May 07th, 2012 - 02:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0From here in Chile, like it must do to most of the world, it seems absurd. We have a similar problem with Bolivia - they turn everything into a question about access to the sea (lost in 1879 war). Just stop. We can't turn the clock back. Chile, Brazil and now Peru and Colombia are surging forward, growing, modernizing, while the Chavez group, which now seems to include Argentina are going backwards. We want Argentina to prosper, it is a great country with great people, but why do they always fall in to the same trap?
@51 Sorry to be a bore but of the Argentines eligible to vote, one third did not bother, just under one third voted for other candidate and just over one third voted for CFKC. We have seen evidence posted here that many that voted for CFKC were paid to vote that way. You could easily argue that the Argentines get what they deserve but there are many good people in that country feeling overwhelmed by a corrupt system, lawless society, unfair voting tactics and cannot see a viable alternative to vote for. Just sayin'.

They were mostly at home doing their own thing. Meanwhile Nestor and Kretina were cozying up to the dictators in Santa Cruz and making money out of usery.
I might add that a lot of Brits were denouncing the junta while we Argentines were keeping quiet, so really we have little to grumble about.

If they are banned, then CFK can pull the victim card and blame the evil, imperialist British for it.
The IOC need to be careful.
If they ignore these politiced provocation by Argentina, other countries may try to use the games to vent their spleen. Also what if the Argentine's try to politicise it further by a deliberate provocation at the opening ceremony?
The Argentine Olympic Committee can promise that their athletes won't do this, but they alo didn't know about the illegal adverts either.
The government of Argentina has no problem breaking their word, so it's probably safest to ban them from the games.
The world are getting fed up of the Argentine governments constant lying and crying.

Your Most Exalted Excellency,
I am writing in response to your continued demands for the transfer of sovereignty of the Falkland Islands .
Having consulted with my colleagues, the British readers of the Daily Telegraph and the Falklands Islands legislature, I am afraid your request has been refused.
However, being British, magnanimous and fair , we cannot see you leave the negotiating table empty handed.
HM The Queen has graciously commanded that henceforth, Liverpool and its dependencies, Widnes and Runcorn , will be ceded to Argentina in perpetuity.
The population of Liverpool is very similar to the rest of the Argentine people, so will assimilate very quickly.
You will also be pleased to know that the whole of Ireland is on Liverpool's continental shelf, so you will no doubt be claiming that as well, especially since a great part of the Spanish armada was wrecked off the Irish coast, which automatically makes it Argentine territory.
The owners of Liverpool FC and Everton FC have confirmed they are looking forward to playing in the Belgrano League, though they admit away matches will be a bit of a strain.
It's only fair to warn you that buying the votes of scousers will cost you a little more than votes in Lanus or Avellaneda.
They will expect a council house, £300 pw, a pair of white trainers and a Plasma TV.
As a thank you to your good self in being so patient with us, Her Majesty has graciously presented you with some Harrods gift vouchers, a William & Kate souvenir pack with a mug, tea towel and DVD and a brown envelope containing an unspecified amount of cash in US dollars.
Yours sincerely
The Right Hon William Hague

I think UK needs to get their priorities straight if they intend on getting any credibility. UK should be more concerned with the austerity measures rather then plunder the spot light on Argentina, then again Argentine politicians warned them way a head of time, but brutish had to run into the wall.

Argentina is a product of colonialism, conquered by the sword, most of the natives killed and infected by disease, their land taken from them and worked by imported African slaves, oversean by imported European colonials. The African's who made up 50% of the population would themselves completely disapear from Argentina between 1850-1900 in what could have been a chilling fore runner to the disareances of the Dirty War in the 1970's when an estimated 30,000 Argentines were raped, tortured and murdered, many more were held illegally in detention camps and tortured. The true figure for the dead could be as high as 100,000, no one knows because there is little official documentation and most bodies were dumped in the sea.
Argentina took land from its neighbours in numberous wars , civil wars and land grabs - Paraguay, Uraguay, Chile. Today Argentina despite the changed political landscape is still a nation characterised by uber nationalism. The claim to the Falklands was surendered in 1850 but reserected in 1941 by a fascist junta, which inc Peron, they thought their friends the Nazi were going to win the war, the Falklands looked easy picking.
In 1982 Argentina was under the latest succession of a series of fascism military junta's. Their hold on power was looking precarious, in deperation they sort a war, Chile looked like a good victim, they already claimed lots of land and were ignoring the international tribunals that had ruled in Chile's favor. But then they changed their mind and invaded the Falklands. Today the war is romanticized by a nation ruled by a kind of cross between a Neo-Nazi uber nationalist and a Charvesta Revolutionary uber Marxist. The only thing missing is the land reform. Maybe that's for later? But as few natives remain, maybe they'll just ignore their rights... God knows they always have. An entire culture replaced by a European one. Entire languages destroyed.

May 08th, 2012 - 04:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Given the visceral, vitriolic reactions of the past days when I have said that in comparison to sport world cups (mainly football and rugby, or the Davis Cup) argies are incurious about the Olympics, it suggests otherwise.
I also said we do care about Olympic basketball because that is the “world cup” of the sport, and to a lesser extent field hockey though it has its world cup.
So we would care about the basketball, but Argentina is not a country that cares much about individual sports, which most Olmypic competitions are.
Notice how I never said that is good or bad, I only have restated the facts. I have nothing personally against the sports themselves, which are all wonderful to play and engage in. That doesn't mean the fact remains most people give fkall about it.
Cities bid for the Olympics as an act of jingoism and machismo, that's a fact. A “see, I can do this” kind of attitude. Olympic games much more than world cups are a huge financial pit because all the infraestructure is concetrated in one city and 90% of the venues are marginal sports which means the facilites will be woefully underused in their usable lifetimes.
World cups on the other hand spread the infraestructure, attract many more fans per venue and due to stadium capacity, and the stadia will have far greater bang for the buck in their lifetime.
Don't think the Argentinians will get booed, the Olympics are too important for that kind of silliness. But if they do, its only a bit of booing, Fernando should toughen up a bit and get on with it.
