“Ich bin ein Argentinier”

October 20, 2007

Manuel Contepomi, Argentinian rugby playerI never was a fan of Argentinian national teams, especially not of their national soccer team. This probably has to do with a bit of an old grudge when they set our national Dutch football team aside in the 1978 Soccer World Cup final. However, this evening the Argentinian rugby team played such an incredible match against France in the “MINI FINAL” that only thing I can say is ‘chapeau!!!’. What a truly great rugby team they have…

When the final whistle sounded, the Argentinians had won the game with 34 - 10. As one the commentators said, this was within the realms of humiliation for the French. The French were just totally blown away by the sheer determination of the Pumas. A wonderful match, maybe one of the best of the competition and definitely a classic!
