Furthermore, I don't know how Argentina are viewed in the rest of South America and how City are perceived by other countries in that continent because of that.

It would be good to know if anyone any thoughts or knowledge on this ??

The two countries hate each other on pretty much every level possible (although every nation in South America hates Argentina). Chile has built up a massively disproportionate military over the years to its size and geostrategic importance, largely due to the UK using it as a pawn with which to threaten Argentina and dissuade it from 'doing another Falklands', while simultaneously draining Argentina's economy through its aspiration to keep up with Chile militarily.

The situation between the two countries reaches such a level of pettiness that Chile has lodged objections on an international level to the study of volcanic ash originating from its volcanoes and landing in Argentina by (or in collaboration with) Argentinian scientists.

How the fuck did Jamaica get in there ?

That's almost as ridiculous as having someone like Israel in the Euros....oh hang on..

Part of the Americas I suppose..Caribbean Americas...its all the fuckign same.
Anyway, Aguero is going to batter them.

Apparently, Jamaica & Mexico are 'guest' teams from CONCACAF, otherwise known as Jackwarnerland.

Isn't that because there aren't enough South American teams to have a tournament, so they have "guest teams" to make up the numbers?

Thanks BiB, that's really good to know.

It's quite conceivable then that Chileans could have mixed feelings towards City ??

I wonder if England would ever be invited as a "guest" nation ??

There would be a lot of benefits for the South Americans in that we would be complete 'no-hopers' plus, with our nightmare brand of football we would make everyone else look even better than they already are and our hordes of drunken fans would be easy for the local thugs to beat up and rob.

Come on Greg Dyke, you know it makes sense for us to apply to participate.

Apart from what the grave digger above said :

Argentina has better food , better wine , better looking women, (Only Venezuela women and Colombian women are ahead in that department) , better shops and a better style of living than just about every other country in LA.........they give it large to the rest of LA because they can do and because they are well ahead.

I have lived and worked in Argentina , Peru , Chile , Venezuela , Mexico ,suriname and the caribbean islands................so take my word for it.

Either he was already surplus to requirements, or we need more sporting directors in the game like this
