World Cup 2006 in Argentina
Although I'm in Argentina my heart and soul is for England!
I've found a great pub to watch the England games - Loco por Futbol - and we few England fans make a lot of noise between us!
So what is this blog post about? Well, you certainly don't want to see photos of a small group of expats watching footie. But as you can see from this picture, the Argentines celebrate each of their victories in style, as if they'd won the whole thing!
Argentina 6 : 0 Serbia
What a game! I left the pub, and the scenes of elation, and stepped out onto the street to find that the blue sky was glistening with tiny pieces of white paper thrown from the office towers. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me.
Argentina 0 : 0 Holland
This time I had my camera and went from bar to bar in search of the action. Unfortunately there wasn't any.
Argentina 2 : 1 Mexico
We went to an Irish pub near to our apartment and suffered alongside the Argentines in silence until the explosion of noise and action when Argentina scored. Click here for a video when the final whistle was blown.
We joined the crowds on Santa Fe (main road) dancing in the street. Click here for a video of the action.
We then followed the masses to the Obelisk and found ourselves amongst a crowd of 10 thousand! They were so chuffed that some foreigners had joined their celebrations and we met lots of people. Click here for a video at the Obelisk.
And here are the photos.
