A huge proportion of argies have some italian blood..something like 2/3rds i vaguely recall. Their cynicism is reminiscent, especially as a national team, of a deifinitely italian trademark cynicism...as footballers i mean. Cultured thugs.
Yeah, I heard somewhere that nearly 50% of Argies have some Italian heritage. Shitloads of Italians immigrated to S.America (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Venezuela and smaller amounts in Chile and Paraguay)
