It's interesting how my friend Don Francisco Dos (He's a Don Francisco imitator) has nothing good to say about Argentina. They think they're better than everyone else. They're wannabe Europeans. In their defense, there are quite a few Nazis down there so they can claim Europe or the Sudetenland at the very least. They do try their hardest to emulate Europe whether it be the constant protesting of the French or not-so subtle anti-Semitism of the whole continent. Sometimes they anticipate trends like the Spanish commitment to racism.
The four ladies above posing with the slanty eyes are members of the Argentina women's Olympic soccer team. The picture was used in a sports paper to accompany a preview of their first Olympic match. It was taken about a week before the infamous Spanish basketball and tennis pictures.
The Argentines haven't gotten any beef for the pictures yet. Maybe the Spanish took most of the heat especially after their refusal to understand why the poses were so racist. Former Spanish national soccer team manager Luis Aragones heard about the pictures and called with a message for Argentina. "Tell those amarillas de mierda [yellow shits] that you are much better than them. Don't hold back, tell them. Tell them from me. You have to believe in yourself, you're better than those amarillas de mierda!" They lost all their games including their last one against China 2-0.
