@1 What's an “RG” (argie)? Is it like a “yeti”? A sub-human, hairy, predator that “inhabits” a wilderness. A danger to human beings that needs to be caged or shot on sight!

An RG or argie or argy, is someone that can become Queen, Pope or win four Balón de Oro in Football. We can be there, doing a great job, even better than the europeans or northamericans. Its a global world, everyone can be everywhere. jajaaja

@6. You are right. Individually there are many talented argentines, unfortunately as a country it's such a mess, you're the laughing stock in so many ways. Being a collective mess is so common, you guys even use your own word for it - quilombo. And that's the perfect word to describe Argentina and I know many argentines would agree with me.
