Jul 09th, 2014 - 10:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wow....luck did help them!
Jul 10th, 2014 - 12:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0Poor tactics by Van Gaal.....why on earth play De jong when he can't play for 90mins so you lose one sub and why start penalties with a central defender? The Dutch Gareth Southgate!
Enjoying the videos being sent over by friends in Buenos Aires. People singing and partying on Corrientes, and it all looks peaceful and fun.
Jul 10th, 2014 - 07:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Imagine if they win on Sunday, it will be a week-long party.
And if they don't ... ?

Jul 10th, 2014 - 06:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If they win, they'll party for a week. Then they'll wake up and realize that they're flat broke...
...and that you can't actually eat a World Cup...
@19
Jul 11th, 2014 - 03:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ouch! That's a bit below the belt. Why the handbags?
Politics aside, football is a sport for everybody so fair play to the fans who support their country, especially, as Elaine says, if it's done in a peaceful and fun manner.
@20
Jul 11th, 2014 - 01:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Football is a fun sport for everyone like you say. But it is also a distraction, for good or bad, from all the daily troubles of the fans. And like all other things politicians can use it to divert attention away from all the things they are doing wrong.
”Our countries have enjoyed 200 years of common interests and shared values”
Jul 12th, 2014 - 02:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Which is why in 1831 the USS Lexington kicked off most of Vernet's settlement ?
Not that Vernet did not deserve it but Kerry has a most selective historic memory.
and that is why obama can´t be caught standing next to a brit politician...

Jul 14th, 2014 - 09:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0What is the UK's position with respect to the US. . As you seem to work for the US State Dept. please enlighten us with your pearls of wisdom
http://en.mercopress.com/2014/07/09/kerry-wishes-the-argentine-team-good-luck-in-the-world-cup#comment338479: I think you Europeans underestimate just how angry and disappointed the US is with you over your mishandling of the Russian Federation.

Jul 16th, 2014 - 05:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A somewhat obtuse statement on a parallel with “25 years”.
Did Hilary Clinton tell you this personally ?
http://en.mercopress.com/2014/07/09/kerry-wishes-the-argentine-team-good-luck-in-the-world-cup#comment338986: If you find it obtuse then presumably you were already aware of your failure and the displeasure that the US feels. So, when are you going to rectify the situation? Your time is limited.
Jul 17th, 2014 - 08:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Limited”?
Jul 17th, 2014 - 10:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oo, goosebumps and shivers... !
Will it be before or after, the Falklands mysteriously become Argentine?
Before or after Argentina pays your “Granny ”?
Forget your “peaceful” use of nuclear energy
anytime before Falklands become Argentine - 25yrs. +
You'll be back to coal oil very soon...
“Your time is limited”

Jul 18th, 2014 - 11:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Your English comprehension is poor.
OBTUSE, definition of:- Difficult to understand, especially deliberately so:
I don't know how many “Europeans” post on this site. There is no such nationality. We are British who live at the edge of the European continent no more....no less.
How can I be “ already aware of your ”failure“ and the displeasure that the US feels.” against the UK ? Rectify WHAT situation ?
Explain US displeasure and for what.
Time is limited ? Another of your 25 years pronouncement.
As the Rd Indian chiefs used to say in Hollywood films. White man “woman” speaks in riddles.
