Argentina vs. England (Football):
Former Argentina captain, Roberto Perfumo once said, “In 1986, winning that game against England was enough. Winning the World Cup was secondary for us. Beating England was our real aim.” The Falklands War, which occurred four years before the 1986 World Cup intensified Argentine hostility towards England. According to the Argentines, Diego Maradona’s ‘Hand Of Goal’ was similar to the Falklands War, as it was unjust, cruel, and it hurt the English. The rivalry between these two countries goes back to Argentina’s colonial past.
