Disclaimer & comment rulesShe presented them with a book “Malvinas Matters”...so she was invited as a guest and blatantly and deliberately disrepected the hospitality.
Nov 04th, 2014 - 06:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0I would imagine the English “Falklands veterans” playing for Man City turned on her and attempted to murder her...as per the norm.
And then complained to the Argentine government... :)
Is there a press release yet announcing that the Manchester ball-kicking community supports Argentina's claim to the Falklands?
Nov 04th, 2014 - 08:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0I expect they all pay taxes in England or Argentina as does Messi does, Oops isn't he being investigated by the Italian Government over tax evasion? The Argentine footballers are all “ Veterens” of the FALKLAND war. On a serious note, what do they know “ they are footballers after all” not renowned for common sense.
Nov 04th, 2014 - 08:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0I believe it is the Spanish tax authorities who are after Messie.
Nov 04th, 2014 - 09:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0With a Chilean coach and several Argentine players I'm not surprised that this dreadful woman was invited to Manchester City.
Pity she doesn't go to Liverpool - the cop would give her very short shrift!
@4 In that case it could take many years for that, they would be “ VETERANS ” then Eh?
Nov 04th, 2014 - 09:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0@4. I think you beat me to it. Looking at the 'guest list', Man City should no longer be considered a British club. And certainly not English. Perhaps there should be a 'Foreign' Division.

Nov 04th, 2014 - 12:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As is the case with many successful businesses in Argentina - a Chilean in charge gets results.
Prior: Top Gear films a programme in Patagonia only to get pelted with rocks and driven out of the country! Beef of Salmon says the BBC should apologise.
Nov 04th, 2014 - 02:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now: Beef or Salmon turns up for hospitality at an English football match, only to then plug a book promoting its ridiculous, toxic claim to the host's own territory!
What freaking planet are these immigrant bananas from? Hilarious.
This is fkuckin mental man.

Nov 04th, 2014 - 04:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0¡Viva Chile! ¡M----a!
the english (lol) premier league should change its name, the sooner the better.
Nov 04th, 2014 - 04:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the owners of their main clubs are either arabs or russian mafiosos, their key managers are dutch, spanish, portuguese, argentinian, etc, and their best players by far, are argentinian or spanish.
certainly, it is not the best league in the world, now a “premier” league formed only with british players would be the worst joke ever.
more or less like a match between the fucklands and gibraltar...yuck.

Come on BBC ! This is your golden opportunity !!!
Nov 04th, 2014 - 05:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Invite her on a Top Gear rally as a participant. Give her a dandy set of blue and white coveralls, a helmet, and good industrial sized shock absorbers. She is used to dispersing vomit bags to passengers, so you can add a carton of those too.
She can ride bouncing in the air as navigator with The Stig.
120 km flying over a rocky road or sand dunes. And no rock-throwing locals to worry about too, except your friends in ISIS.
Dakar, the Baja 500, or the BR 116 I proposed here in Brasil. Carpe Diem, BBC: Don't pass up this moment !
Maybe Pellegrini knows Castro from her AR days? The article does mention she 'offered' Charlton some wine, so maybe they were just a bit short of hospitality workers for the big game so they called her up on the off chance.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe they invited her so she could serve the refreshments at half time..........

Nov 04th, 2014 - 09:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the only two times that chile had a decent performance in a world cup, were with argentinian coaches: bielsa and sampaoli, who is a nabo but good enough for chile.
chile never won anything, but without an argentinian coach they cannot even qualify.
In all fairness to the Argentine footballers , when CFK press ganged them at Ezeiza and forcibly took them to a “ celebration ” the look on their faces said it all .
Nov 05th, 2014 - 10:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0She admitted she never saw one game , got their nick names wrong and STILL insisted on making political capital out of them .
Folks , enjoy .....( If you can put up with the annoying witches voice that is )

AssCastro does it again....just couldn't resist turning a sporting event in to some political matter... total lack of respect, but in her small brain, she probably thinks she did great. Typical.
Nov 05th, 2014 - 07:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Fine Argentine footballers-not playing in Argentina, a point not taken in by Castro......
