I care only in the sense that the Islanders IMO have a right to self determination and clearly wish to remain British.

It seems to be a far bigger deal to Argentinians for some reason. It certainly fuels their footballing attitude with England as they don't really seem to act anywhere near as aggressively with other teams. The fact that every single Argentine player was crying after the game suggests it is some weirdly big deal to beat us.

It has nothing to do with history or nationalism but everything to do with fishing and oil rights.

I am not sure the Argentina players are too fussed with fishing and oil rights! 😂

You are going to struggle to convince me that a group of professional footballers have an understanding or interest in geopolitics PB!

The Falklands were British before Argentina declared independence from Spain. If anything they should be campaigning for Falkland independence.

They are jumping on a bandwagon fuelled by fishing and oil rights.
Convince me that they care about the Falklands in the slightest.

I am in agreement, I don't think they do care one bit!

Freeze peach advocacy strikes again in the US, only adding fuel to the pro-Argentina conspiracy fire IMO.

I've heard that US Ironyometers have been exploding left right and centre.

The US doesn’t do left or centre just right, hard right and far right
