More money for football for everyone as they have added in 10 clubs into the first league by decree, which also means the cost for transmition of matches will go up to over a Billion pesos per year and the quality of football will go poorer and poorer.
When is this populist nightmare ever going to end '?
'Plus reinforce Argentine sovereignty' What Argentine sovereignty? Lol. Empty rhetoric and bluster.

Apr 30th, 2014 - 12:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0lts the sovereignty that they would LIKE to have.
First claimed in 1942 when they thought that we would lose the war.
We claimed it in 1908, l think.
Along with half the planet.

We had the “blue amazon”, now the “blue pampa”, when do we get the “blue atacama”.
Apr 30th, 2014 - 12:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hello, 5.
Apr 30th, 2014 - 12:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I believe that any allusions or hints by Argentina to those areas has potential for a “row” as you put it.
They can only claim sovereignty over their own land of Argentina,
Apr 30th, 2014 - 12:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0International waters are not theirs,
And they should be barred from British territorial waters,
Then again as some Argies have suggested, that they inherited all that was Spanish, then I guess all the waters around south America is theirs as well,
Tut tut..lol
.
The S. Georgia/Sandwich islands & maritime spaces part is designed to provoke a row, however how far they are actually able to fund this for any length of time, is another matter.

Good excuse though to increase the British military footprint in theatre.

The UK also applied to go to the ICJ unilaterally but the ICJ advised that it could only act if there was agreement from both parties to recognise the Court's jurisdiction - something Argentina did not recognise.

@7 Vestige,
May 01st, 2014 - 09:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0And now, Argentina would like an empire.
But its too late, baby(thanks Carol King).
Whats the basis for Argentina's “claim” on South Georgia, Vestige?
The British discovered it before Argentina even existed & no Argentine has ever lived there.
Going to ask all you malvinistas, that.
So don't be shy,
Enlighten us all, Vestige.
Why do you think that Argentina owns South Georgia?
Has think gone on holiday ??
