Now that Argentina plays regularly with the former SANZAR powers, Argentina will just be another stop over in the June tests for the Northern Hemisphere to be massacred.
Mar 27th, 2013 - 07:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As it was even before the 4N Argentina regularly beat France, Scotland, Wales, etc at home. Now and in the next few years it will be beat down after beat down.
Look at Italy's improvement in the 6N and they are not 1/10 as talented in the sport, their team being basically Argie scrubs.
The Northern Hemisphere should cut their loses and quit touring the south, no need for further future embarassments.

Mar 27th, 2013 - 08:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I hope your Chinese is better than your knowledge of rugby.
I admire the Pumas greatly, although their performance in world cups is less than would be expected for a country of 40 million with a large rugby league.
It seems to me that Argentina's main achievement in the 4N was losing ALL their matches by not as much as one might have expected - not great for a country with a population greater than NZ, Australia and the Transvaal combined.
...
Back on topic: the rugby supporting population of Argentina must be one of the most Anglophile sections of Argie society. I am sure the UAR will make sure the England tour passes off without incident. I am also sure that England will want to repeat the result of the last UK team to tour Argentina - Scotland, who comprehensively demolished Argentina in both tests.
By June they will be having Massive and frequent blackouts in BA, the peso will be above 10/1, store shelves will be empty and they may have a new govt'.

You are correct about football, Argentina has won one FIFA world cup in 1986 with a handball goal. 1978 wasn't Argentina it was the Junta so doesn't count.

Mar 28th, 2013 - 12:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Australia has done nothing in world sport outside rugby codes and swimming. Don't be so cocky, it's the truth.”
So just rugby and swimming?
Let's start with the Olympics shall we. 477 medals in total spanning every single summer and winter games. Only bettered by 11 other countries.
And Argentina? Down at 41st with 70 medals - behind even New Zealand. But then you don't always get to the games. I note you do much better in boxing than Australia, but only 5 medals for athletics. Quite pathetic compared to our 71!
How did you put it?
“Athletics, never seen the Australians there. Always the Jamaicans, Africans, and the Americans”
Jamaica has only ever won 66 medals in athletics.
Argentina's grand total of 18 gold medals ever is almost the same as the 17 god medals we earned at a single Olympics.
Perhaps you should also take a look at Surfing, Netball, Squash, Triathlon and Field Hockey. Can't see Argentina anywhere while Australia wins again and again. Australian world champions everywhere I look.
Tennis anyone? You are probably too young and uneducated to know Roy Emerson, Ken Roswell and Rod Laver but let me help you - 31 Grand Slam Championships between them. Argentina's six is.... nice but absolutely abysmal compared to Australia's 80+.
I should congratulate Argentina on its 2 Soccer World Cups. We have none, but then again we invented our own football code which nearly 7 million people attended last year.
Golf? Argentina's 3 men's majors championships compared to Australia's 15!
And we have managed to do all that with less than half Argentina's population.
Another name you probably haven't heard before: John Landy www.athletics.com.au/fanzone/hall_of_fame/john_landy
And I haven't even listed Black Caviar!
“Don't be so cocky, it's the truth.” You really should believe me when. Continually tell you THAT YOU CAN'T ARGUE.

Thus why the communist dictatorships force people to hand over their entire lives just for the “honor of the fatherland” in two weeks.
And Western nations dope their athletes and basically destroy their lives as well by ruining their health, or their reputation. Or how many western athletes have been caught using drugs and their medals rescinded? And those are the ones that were caught (probably only 1 in 10 infractors are, this is admitted by the drug screening scientists).
Thank you everyone for being so predictable. Only little insecure societies brag about being good in such a corrupt and rotten industry like the Olympics.

You haven't won it in 40 ferking YEARS! Guess what, we have won it twice more than that since. And checking the other open champions, Australia has pretty much vanished from the map.
You lost the greatest game of all. No points, no referees decisions, no replays, no second leg away, no trophy's.

It must be so frustrating thinking you are smart then over and over again being proved wrong.

@79 Nostrils you just can't resist.

“Australia has done nothing in world sport outside rugby codes and swimming.”
Wrong!
“Athletics, never seen the Australians there.”
Wrong!
You can't compete in cricket or the Olympics so you denigrate them and rule them out.
Due to your obvious youth and extreme lack of life experience you probably thought you were on strong ground when you stated this:
“You know why so many Australians have won “Grand slams”? Because for whatever reason someone decided to make the Australian open a Grand Slam. But for a great while the only people that even gave a FARK to participate where... AUSTRALIANS!
So of course you won “grand slams”, but no one of any significance competed in them. When the true powers started going to the Australian open, it was all over for you.”
Australian Men's Singles Championships outside Australia
Wimbledon:
First title: 1907 - first non British winner
Last title: 2002 - we beat Argentina
Champions 21 times - behind UK & US
Argentina = nothing.
French Open:
First title: 1933
Last title: 1969
Champions 11 times - behind France and Spain
Argentina has won twice - 9 times less than Australia.
US Open
First title: 1951
Last title: 2001
Champions 18 times - behind only the US.
Argentina has won twice - 11 times less than Australia.
50 men's champions not including the Australian Open.
“You haven't won it in 40 ferking YEARS! Guess what, we have won it twice more than that since. And checking the other open champions, Australia has pretty much vanished from the map.”
Hmmmm past 40 years:
Argentina: 6 men's champions
Australia: 9 men's champions
Because we haven't won the Oz Open for 38 years and you last won it 34 years ago then we are the ones that have vanished from the map.

The matter of the Falklands/Malvinas was not mentioned at all.
Mar 29th, 2013 - 06:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If Quebracho, La Cámpora and other Malvinista organisations attempt to cause trouble over the presence of the English rugby team it will be totally counter productive and a pity for the game in Argentina.
And, of course, the rugby players will have no political/diplomatic powers at all.

Mar 30th, 2013 - 01:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Americans and Europeans I meet only tell how there are basically no Argentines in their countries, they had only heard or read about the culture and the women and the country so they decided to visit. Compared to virtually all other nationalities, there are no Argentines in Europe and USA when a number to number comparison is made.
And those that maybe in Europe are not even Argentina. They are “bouncers”: people that left in the 70s and many probably are Italian, German, Spanish citizens. The very few Argentine I've heard talking about being from England online all claim to have British roots.
REAL Argentines would find it horrible to live in such desolate societies as yours or the USA. Which is why over 50% return within a year, and 3/4 do after 10 years. Why do you think there are several companies that just dedicate themselves to ship large belongings from Europe and the USA to Argentina... people can't wait to get out of those hellholes.

Mar 30th, 2013 - 02:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You almost have it. But think a bit deeper. The reason they left in the first place is because they could not hack it HERE, too much competition.
And no, most make it in your countries and in other Latin American countries. I have brought many times articles showing that Argentines consistently are up there with Asians in the USA as top non-national earners, in fact they make more money than the average AMERICAN. In Europe, Argentines are always more professionaly skilled than the nationals of Spain, France, and Germany. In Italy the average argentine employs more italians, than italians argentines in any average business.
All over Latin America from Mexico to Chile and everywher in between Argentines belong to the elites (in radio, television, surgeons, models, footballers, etc).
We are genetically superior, in beauty, in smarts, and we are better educated, and we have a more heart which you as a European and British will always lack.
When Argentines leave Argentina, the IQ level is raised both for the country that receives them, AND FOR ARGENTINA.

Mar 30th, 2013 - 02:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think if the Rgs left Miami or NYC the strip club, restaurants and club/bars would shut down because they have to train all new employees!
I have never met an Rg living in the USA that doesn't work for some Int'l org like WB or IDB or on the low end side some service industry.
The ones I have helped come here can't hack it. They have no work ethic and are very lazy all they do is smoke and drink coffee or mate. Gross. The first thing they do is buy a 4x4 to pretend they're rich! Just like all the other latins.

Your attempts at slighting us have become so feeble and transparent in their nonsense I can't even get up to counter them anymore. The restaurants in Miami and New York will be fine. Everyone knows which nationalities are employed there and it is not argentine. In fact, I was reading on an online forum that in Miami when you go to an Argentine restaurant, you don't even meet a single argentinean. It's all manned by venezuelans, colombians or central Americans.
That's because within a few years Argentines are well above the ranks in mobility and surpass even the average american. Tough cookie the truth.

Wrong!
“they have no work ethics”
funny less!
The USA citizens don't have good work ethics:
1.have you seen all the personal items they place in their desks just to feel “at home” instead of concentrating during 8 hours shift?
2.The usa workers take all their sick time to avoid to report to work.
3.They are not independent in their work, always asking questions.
4.They show to work late stating “family problems”
5.They show drunk or under the influence of drugs
6.They don't have good telephone maners
7.They eat their lunch in the work desks
8.They spend most of the time going to the restrooms
9.They don't have good taste to select business clothes
It seems Yankee wanna is not from the USA!

Apr 01st, 2013 - 09:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0Firstly, you have finally said something I agree with. argentine living in Europe aren't Argentinian.
Messi, Tevez, Aguerro....all not Argentine.
Anyway, on a more serious note. You are deluded.
Argentina is a third world country. Other than a football players (as established non-Argentine) nobody in Europe gives a shit about Argentina. On a global stage it is about as relevant as Burkina Faso, Bhutan or Laos.
The only two “news worthy” stories that ever come out of Argentina are Falklands related, and default related. Both should be a cause of shame and humiliation for Argentina..but your government seems to revel in them.
Your view is that Argentina is in someway superior to ANY other country is laughable.
We have already established that you couldn't list a single SOLITARY thing that ANY ARGENTINE has added to humanity. Not a SINGLE thing. And you have the trolling view that in someway that is comparable to the US, Europe or Australia...LMFAO.
Recalibrate, Nostril. Try Chad, Togo or Cambodia as comparable states to Argentina for lifestyle, development and living standard. Probably Zimbabwe or North Korea for government competence.
Anyway, good luck with your ongoing quest to lose your virginity, has the acne cleared up yet? How's is the halitosis?
