why the fuck is everyone talking about wars? jesus if want to talk about the history of countries then ur on the wrong fuckn video

@leiojpc Most countries have some kind of shameful secret or another. Look at the way Argentina harbored Nazi war criminals responsible for the death and torture of millions, or the way opposition to Peronism was dealt with by murder, torture or imprisonment.

Let's not forget Argentina's shady colonial past and it's inherent relationship with Spanish colonialism under the Governorate of the Río de la Plata, which managed to displace and murder millions of innocent indigenous people.

Lineker you should have slapped him for the handball, the second goal was genius though, one in a million

[Crystalinalake]

cheating in football makes it's football. Sit back and eradicate every memorable moment in history, yeah...doesn't seem that exciting does it?

[soccerockman]

Linekar the authentic British Man with his gentleness in blood.Diego the man with genius and history of civilisational conflicts in his blood.Both cannot be matched .......!! I love you Gary&Diego.Lets forget the past.

@class66

has "saint gary" ever dived? or milked a small bit of contact? geez, you'd think maradona's hand goal was the first time anyone ever cheated in football...

[class66]

how can you talk to this cheat gary..? he is the devil

@afcjonny1 it's better to have something to be proud of (english football and history in Britain) and ashamed of Ireland) then nothing to be proud of or ashamed like my country.

[afcjonny1]

I came on here for football reasons, but debate about war is overhsadowing the fact two old foes were able to put differences aside and become firm friends during gary's short stay. Alot of countries have done shameful things in the past, as hombrerelents said about Argentina harbouring Nazi war criminals. But then look at what we, The British, did in Ireland in the late 19th and early 20th century, no nation is without its regrets, being British im ashamed of the things we did in Ireland.

@MrTrixShotz97 Good point well made Sir.

I feel silly about taking the bate from an apologetically "patriotic" Brit.

The first time I read his comments though, I felt ashamed to be associated with such views in any way.

But you are so right: football only for me from now on.

@leiojpc It is unfortunate that many people will use anything as an excuse to be verbally abusive and insulting. I have read many of your posts and you handle yourself with respect and decorum. It is coming up to the 25th anniversary of that "Hand of God" game. In Britain there will be a documentary about the match and those goals.  like it when England play Argentina because it is always a big game with lots of passion.

I will see if I can find that Simon Weston interview for you.
