    Yes indeed. A draw will be good enough.

    I'm so torn as I really want Argentina to be knocked out but there's also a lovely year 7 lad at school who is Argentinian and he gets so excited every time he talks about the World Cup. He's been given me the run down on all the different scenarios that would involve Argentina staying in all week. As he's 12 this is probably his first proper World Cup that he'll be aware of what's happening.

    Just don't get the hatred for Argentina.

    Hope they win tonight and go on to win the cup. Always liked them and they wear a smart kit. Gotta love Messi.

    I bet you're also one of those people who seem to believe that "everyone hates England" or that there's always some great conspiracy against England. (Not that either of these arguments are true...) I can't understand why you people are so obsessed with past wars. None of the Argentinian players were even born at the time...

    But you do realise that the Argentinian soldiers were just young lads sent to a pointless war, waged by a despotic government for their own ends? I'm truly sorry that you lost friends there, but you're blaming the wrong people. Try Thatcher and her cynical military action which was launched to revive her flagging ratings.

    No, I've never lived outside Finland. Wales and Scotland aren't "everyone" though. :p

    I live in Scotland and England or English people are not hated. I'd imagine Wales is similar. I'd say dragon it's you who has the problem. Are you happy that Germany are out. We're you supporting Korea or did the Korean war put you off them.

    I know you did not say all or everyone but you did suggest in a sweeping statement to a young Finnish lad that Scots and Welsh are English haters.

    There's a fine line between rivalry and hatred indeed. I'd say that it's better to keep politics and wars out of football, there's too much hatred in football already.
