Spain is facing the economic attack because its been perceived as weak and the ALBA bunch has not been doing some deep thinking before the talk and act. The top foreign investment in south america comes from the EU and with Argentina taking revenge on Spain its is liley the EU investors will be motivated to move their resources elsewhere closer to home.
    I almost agree with you.
    It´s funny, however, how Spain was nearly left alone so far.
    Spain has simply showed weakness so far, and no friends. They almost thanked Bolivia when they took a power plant !

    This is how it is been "marketed" in South America:

    English from Google

    Spanish from TeleSur

    That was the weirdest thing! Frist Evo assured Spain it was safe to do bussiness in Bolivia because they will honor all commecial agreement while he praised the takeover of YPF and just days later very confortably he did the very same thing.

    - You know that Telesur belongs to Chaves, do you?
    - The funny thing with YPF/Repsol is that many, although shocked by the move, have seen this as a business opportunity. Don´t be surprised if we have an all american partner down there.

    Funny how some people on here fail to forget that when i mentioned on here some while back about .. how the younger generation normally hang about they're local War memorial like which they do in my village and most didn't see anything wrong with it ..


    And this advert appears .. and encours 5 pages so far .. I don't why people on here are making such a song n dance over what the current regime in Argentina does .. when they haven't banned UK citizens , Nick Warren , Sasha , John Digweed , Paul Oakenfold have all played in Argentina within the last 6 months .. and even the Liverpool based Clubpromoter Cream is hosting yet another event in Argentina again .. just like they did last year .

    It's going to be difficult enough to sue a foreign business, for working with a license, in a foreign country.... now they've got to pay a saturday premium to their lawyers.


    As for the video, it's yet another own-goal from the Arg Govt.

    I don't have a drink problem .. If such people who are in the spotlight decided not to play in Argentina because of the Actions by the Argentine Goverment would the worlds media give a flying **** do you believe such stances would improve things even when these such names have a fan base in the Country . Consider if the all the locals all felt the same ways then these people would be playing there fullstop ..
    And consider the Argentine Player that plays for Man City you don't see him packing up flying to Tina nor do you see the supporters of that or other such clubs single him out for Abuse because he is Argentinian because of the Falklands .

    Here´s the official FI statement regarding the olimpic vid:

    Reaction to Argentine Olympic Advert

    We were very disappointed this morning to see the advert from the Argentine Presidential Office, attempting to politicise the Olympics in service of their territorial ambitions. This video was filmed without the knowledge of the Falkland Islands authorities.
    It is deeply sad to see Mr Zylberberg clambering over a war memorial, especially in this anniversary year. Sadly, this illustrates the disrespect the Argentine authorities have for our home and our people. Unsurprisingly, at no stage does the video feature any Falkland Islanders – a clear reflection of Argentina’s policy, which is to pretend that the people of the Falkland Islands do not exist. It is time the world took note – we do exist, and as with all people we have rights, which the Argentine Government is trying to deny us. We are our own people, who through nine generations have lived and worked in these islands for nearly 200 years.
    We determine our own future, and we will not be bullied by the Argentine Government, neither by their attempts to undermine our economy, nor by their constant misrepresentation of the truth, nor by pieces of cheap and disrespectful propaganda such as this. It is hugely disappointing to see sport abused in this way, when it is so often seen as a vehicle for unity. It seems an act of desperation to sink to this.

    BTW: People on the FI are already making jokes about this episode, so some of you guys should calm down.

    Is it grounds enough to ban that athelete from entry to the UK for the olympics?
    i.e. what did he declare on his visa application, did it mention filming a tv add?

    WTF are you raving on about, no cvnt died on a football pitch with regards one country invading the sovereign territory of another, whereas, British blood was spilled in mortal combat to uphold the rights of the Falkland Islanders, you need to cop yourself on with your idiotic arse-hole comments and have some respect and remember what this Forum is about.
