Whole team posed for photo on pitch in front of a massive banner that said "Las Malvinas Son Argentinas".

So much for FIFA not allowing politics to have any place in football...

    That doesn't look like "the whole" Argentine team to me.

    I think they do it before every game, God knows why.

    probably coming up to an election over their or their PM is in trouble

    Doesn't deserve the attention they want. Let them have their say and waste their time on silly banners, it means diddly squat.

    'The wishes of the Islanders are paramount. ' I wonder who said that? They are bound to want us to honour the UN agreement, but everyone wants the oil revenue. Meanwhile political football plays on........

    And their wishes were verified in a recent vote.

    In fact Messi did pose behind the banner, but he is too short to be visible.

    What are the permutations that would result in us playing them in this World Cup

    I would be happy for them to unfurl that it would raise the temperature.

    If the Falklands aint on a video game they wont have herd of it. Mind you better that than the shit The Wife Beater spouted.

    Argentinians feel very strongly about the Falklands. It's most Brits that don't give a stuff.

    I might be wrong but the earliest we can meet Argentina (given that they win their group and we win ours lololol) is the semi-final. Otherwise in the final.

    I'm fairly sure that the people that actually live there feel quite strongly about it.

    Exactly. Pretty irrelevant what the general public here or in Argentina think compared to people who actually live in The Falklands, who want to remain British.

    Pretty irrelevant what the Argies think too.

    He's a prick of the highest order. He's even edited screenshots in an attempt to get people done for racism

    Collymore states that he has always voted Labour.

    A genuine question to the many Labour voters on here. Why is it that the Labour party has been and is so eager to intervene militarily in foreign countries under the guise of "regime change" yet views the defence of British territory like the Falklands with contempt?

    Who says the Labour party view Falklands with contempt?

    Stan Collymore is not the labour party.

    One can only hope when he racks up to a game he bumps into a Para veteran of the Falklands.
