>>Speaking of tango, that was some takedown by Carlos Tevez in the Euro final, wasn't it? I must admit it was nice seeing him take someone else down instead of diving himself!

>Oh, I never watched European football. In fact since I moved to Canada it has been always difficult to catch any soccer from Argentina so I lost interest in it (of course the fact that "my" team, Independiente is sucking lately does not help much to the cause <g>), unless it is the World Cup or the Copa America. From time to time I can catch a game in FoxSports or GolTV where they show Argentinean Soccer, so if my wife is not around I can watch it, otherwise I am only allowed to watch the Spurs <g>, I think I only watch 4 matches of the Argentinean league in the last 10 years! And to think I went quite regularly to the stadium to watch them live, I thought it would be impossible to survive without that, but I guess humans are resilient and can adapt <g>). By the way, if you ever go to Argentina you should try to catch a "clásico" (a match between any of the "big 5" teams, Independiente, Rácing, San Lorenzo, River or Boca, with River vs. Boca being the "Super Clásico") Being in the
>stadium during this matches is a completely different experience, if you survive, of course <g>
I don't know much about South American futbol other than that the fans are passionate and the teams are very good. Is there a lot of hooliganism at matches like there is in Europe?
