Argentine athlete invades port stanley

another pawn used and abused by the Argentinian government

But she (Christina Kirchner) has been left red faced after it emerged the hockey player has been left out of a pre-Olympics hockey tournament and will almost certainly be passed over for London.

The Telegraph's take on it seems to be he was pulled from the team for not being good enough rather than because of the advert.

He is good enough, but kind of old. He was one of the best Hockey players in the world 10 years ago.

Argentine Olympic Committee releases watered down statement on Malvinas spot

The Argentine Olympic Committee has responded for the first time to an advertisement on state-run TV that links a dispute with Britain about the Falklands/Malvinas Islands to the London Games.

Argentine Olympic committee president Gerardo Werthein said in a statement on Tuesday -that using the games as a platform for “political gestures” is not acceptable but defends the right to freedom of speech for his athletes.

Interesting read, thanks.

Do you agree with the author, and not with the reader's comment that it's naive and superficial?

You´re welcome.
Although the author has introduced some colourful notes, I mostly agree with him.

In a 1980's documentary, I think was called "Latin American Journey", they said Argentina was a first world economic power before 1930 and that argentinians considered themseleves to be europeans.

Next battleground... ham!
http://en.mercopress.com/2012/05/12/...o-quality-hams

The embargo against ham doesn’t discriminate based on its origin. It will affect Spain, which exported 274 tons to Argentina last year, Brazil, with 241, and Italy with 199.
...
Restrictions on the import of Spanish and Italian hams, announced this week by local media, are within the strategy of the Cristina Fernández government to curb imports and trying to increase exports to protect domestic industry and preserve the currency.

Annoying Brazil seems like the clever thing to do when you are on the edge of an outright trade war with Spain & a cold war with the UK - and through the EU
