I agree, just like in 1974. You had the bad luck, both times, of playing against the local team, plus, in Argentina, you had that Videla criminal watching over the whole thing. Just ask the Peruvian team.

Awww, come on. I don't know where you're from, but I am sure at one point in time you must have had a criminal president in your country too.
Or a criminal prime minister.

Sure. That's a real shame, anywhere in the world :

Fascism and football

See? We all had one of those.

Yes, but my point is that Argentina would probably not have won that cup if it hadn't been for the dictatorial regime.

I think it was Menotti, who once explained that some of the Argentinian players were mortified the day of the final before starting the match just thinking that a victory would somehow justify all the crap that was going on. Menotti told them they should win the cup for the plain people, and forget about those bastards.

A lot of people don't want them around, I can tell you, including me.

No "God save the King" for John?

Yes, but my point is that Argentina would probably not have won that cup if it hadn't been for the dictatorial regime.

Well, we don't know that for certain.

Come on, Javi, don't close your eyes...

Videos are too long, what are they about?

A big emphatic NO.

For the umpteenth time. For being far too honest.

Let it go. That place is so corrupt. And as long as there is a fake doctor with very serious mental health problems, it will never become transparent.

To be brutally honest, we don't miss your self-promotion over there.

JimmyCool, you only speak for a tiny minority as well you know. As I am often welcomed back by the more civilized members.

I have been playing with the unpleasant members for decades.
I'll be back there soon enough. If only briefly. LOL.

Thanks. But i rarely turn the other cheek. You are correct about the so-called doctor, master of Elvis trivia.

Maurice, maybe the majority just tolerate you, which doesn't mean you're welcomed back.

What a very peculiar thing to say. Are, you Clairvoyant John? You see I have been welcomed back a number of times by quite a few well-known members, ColinB knows. He started a thread about me on FECC years ago. It's archived.

Maybe we should put it to the vote.

Okay richard, you lose I am voting myself out of here. You see on twitter thousands a day see my posts Tens of thousands and sometime millions in newspapers and magazines. Plus TV and radio so a few intellectually challenged members here do not count. Joking, but nevertheless it's Byeeeeeeeeeeee.

Well, why am I not surprised that a thread with that title can only get totally out of hand? Even in this otherwise so civilized and friendly place. I would prefer the thread to be moved to the off-topic area and continue to happily philosophize about modern and past football - which is the only reason I checked in here more than once. Oh by the way, I'll keep my fingers crossed for Morocco this time - I've always been for the underdogs
