>>Thanks John, I woke up at 1 AM to watch the match and I enjoyed it even though it was a defeat, what is more unfortunate is the two Argentinean players that got injured, on is out of the world cup, the other (the captain none the less) will at least miss the game against Romania

>I believe that the Argentina team are amateurs i.e. not paid to play as professionals for their country. While England, SA, NZ, AU, etc. are teams paid for and sponsored as professional players for their countries. I think that says something special about the Argentinian team that they are consistently ranked in the top10 teams in the world. However, I stand to correction as I am not 100% sure of this.

Argentina used to be a team of amateurs, I am not sure if that is still the case, I'll try to find out.
