Not a close family member, mind, more like a slightly flashy ex-brother-in-law who\u2019s good company until he gets a bit too drunk and who never quite buys his round. But family, nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityflowjournal.com\/?p=510\">Holden Caulfield: the original Redditor<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although Argentina wasn\u2019t part of the British Empire, there have long been strong ties between the countries. British investment in the second half of the 19th century largely drove the Argentine economy as it became a major global player, with most of the infrastructure \u2014 banking, railways, shipping \u2014 British-owned, and a third of its exports going to the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Culturally, it was seen as a rugged but reliable place, more akin to South Africa or Australia than to the weird, primitive mysteries of the Amazon. If you came across a minor character in a novel by P. G. Wodehouse or John Buchan whose income came from Argentine shares, he was intended as a steady kind of chap, rather than a wild speculator. If it was not actually Empire, estate agents would certainly have described it as Empire-adjacent. It took to football and rugby, even cricket \u2014 up to a point \u2014 and was on the side of the Allies in the Second World War, albeit for just five months after belatedly entering the conflict in March 1945.<\/p>\n<p>By then, though, the close economic links were dissolving, damaged by Britain\u2019s policy in the Thirties of imposing tariffs on goods coming into the Empire, and by the nationalizing of public services under Juan Per\u00f3n in the Forties. But there was still a vague sense of kinship, as seen in the friendly football relations that were established. Argentina played England at Wembley in 1951, and in Buenos Aires two years later, the latter attracting a then-record crowd for the country of 91,000 spectators.<\/p>\n<p>The friendliness didn\u2019t last. The two countries met again in 1966 in a World Cup quarter-final match that was dubbed \u201cthe Battle of Wembley\u201d in England, and \u201cthe theft of the century\u201d in Argentina. The issue, as England saw it, was the physical aggression of the South Americans. This, said the England manager Alf Ramsey, explained a lackluster performance: \u201cOur best football will come against the team who come out to play football and not act as animals.\u201d Argentina, meanwhile, was raging against what it saw as a biased referee, who sent off its captain and permitted the only goal of the game \u2014 scored by Geoff Hurst \u2014 to stand, despite a suspicion of offside.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the world seemed to support the Argentine position. There was talk of a South American split from FIFA, and newspapers from Italy and Czechoslovakia to Mexico and Brazil denounced \u201cfavoritism for the English team\u201d. In Buenos Aires, the mass-circulation paper <i>Cr\u00f3nica <\/i>had a cartoon of the tournament mascot, World Cup Willie, dressed as a pirate, and complained that \u201cjust as the English pirates stole the Malvinas, they made a deal with the referee to sell us out\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>And there was the rub, the great stumbling block in Anglo-Argentine relations. <i>Las Malvinas<\/i> \u2014 the Falkland Islands, as Britain called them \u2014 lay some 300 miles off the coast of Argentina, and there was a long-running dispute over their ownership. They had never been inhabited by Argentinians, Britain had been in unbroken possession since 1833 and, even as the Empire was being dismantled, the couple of thousand inhabitants unanimously wished to remain British. Argentina, however, had inherited a claim on the territory when gaining independence from Spain and had never given up its demand that it be handed over.<\/p>\n<p>This meant something in Buenos Aires, though most Britons were unaware of the islands\u2019 existence, let alone that there was any controversy. Insofar as they were known, it was probably through Aldous Huxley\u2019s dystopian novel <i>Brave New World<\/i> (1932). At the end of the book, when the dissident Bernard Marx is being sent into exile, so that he might write poetry without disturbing the stability of society, he asks for the most remote, forlorn and uncomfortable conditions, the better to inspire his work, and is promptly despatched to the Falklands. Thereafter, we assume, he will never be heard of again.<\/p>\n<p>When the central American state of Belize became independent in 1981, the <i>Daily Mirror<\/i> provided its readers with a list of what was left of the British Empire: Hong Kong, Gibraltar, Diego Garcia, Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Montserrat, Pitcairn, St Helena and the Turks &amp; Caicos Islands. It forgot even to mention the Falklands.<\/p>\n<p>There was, therefore, genuine surprise when Britain woke up on an April morning in 1982 to hear the news that Argentine troops had invaded the islands and seized control. There was even more surprise when the prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, announced that a military force would be sent to evict the occupiers, should diplomatic means fail. Such resolute determination was not what the British people had come to expect of its post-imperial governments, but Thatcher saw it as a question of principle. \u201cThe people of the Falkland Islands, like the people of the United Kingdom, are an island race,\u201d she told the Commons. \u201cThey are few in number, but they have the right to live in peace, to choose their own way of life and to determine their allegiance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Argentina was then a military dictatorship, following a coup the previous year, led by General Leopoldo Galtieri. As Michael Foot, leader of the Labour Party, put it, when some of his MPs expressed reservations about the military operation: \u201cI know a fascist when I see one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityflowjournal.com\/?p=508\">How David Miliband failed upwards<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ten weeks later, the Argentine forces on the island surrendered, following a successful counter-invasion. Some 900 were killed on both sides in the conflict, with a further 2,400 wounded, but Britain\u2019s objective was achieved. At a time when public services were renowned for inefficiency, it turned out that the armed forces could still be relied upon. \u201cWe fought to show that aggression does not pay and that the robber cannot be allowed to get away with his swag,\u201d said Thatcher in the aftermath.<\/p>\n<p>There were some dissenting voices, but that view was widely shared. In a 1986 episode of <i>Only Fools and Horses,<\/i> an expatriate South Londoner arrives in the Nag\u2019s Head and begins running down the country: \u201cThe stench of defeat\u2019s everywhere,\u201d he says. \u201cThe old place has got no guts anymore.\u201d And finally Del Boy loses his patience and his temper: \u201cSomebody else said that a little while ago. A little jumped-up general from Buenos Aires, and if you\u2019re not careful, you\u2019ll get what the Argies got.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was also in 1986 that England and Argentina met again in the quarter-final of the World Cup, this time in the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. It was a difficult time for English football, the very nadir of the hooligan era. The previous year, 39 fans had been killed in the Heysel Stadium disaster in the European Cup Final between Liverpool and Juventus, and English clubs had been banned from European competition as a result. That, combined with the legacy of the Falklands War, ensured that the build-up to the match was dominated by trepidation.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd was largely Mexican, with only around 10,000 fans of the two competing countries expected to be in attendance, but it was announced that there would be 20,000 police in the stadium, including armed plainclothes officers on the terraces. On one side there were banners proclaiming \u201cMalvinas \u2014 always Argentine\u201d, on the other a new chant: \u201cArgentina, Argentina, what\u2019s it like to lose a war?\u201d The press did their bit. <i>The Sun<\/i>\u2019s front page headline on the day of the match was \u201cIt\u2019s War Senor!\u201d, an angle that was mirrored in the Argentine media. It was left to the footballers to try to keep some sense of perspective. \u201cWe are not taking guns onto the field,\u201d protested Argentina\u2019s star player, Diego Maradona, \u201cwe are not going to shoot anyone. We are going to play football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maradona turned out to be the story of the match with two contrasting goals in the space of five minutes. The first was a blatant and deliberate handball, the second a sublime piece of dribbling that was later to be voted the Goal of the Century \u2014 countered only by a late consolation strike from Gary Lineker. \u201cMalvinas 2, England 1,\u201d exulted the Argentine press, adding \u201cWe blasted the English pirates\u201d, a reference back to the 1966 match, and to the Falklands, when a Buenos Aires paper had depicted Thatcher with an eye-patch.<\/p>\n<p>All this, of course, is ancient history now. Except that it\u2019s not really. Argentina continues to lay claim to the Falkland Islands, and this week its foreign minister wrote of the \u201cillegitimate occupation\u201d, renewing the country\u2019s demands for sovereignty talks. More significant, perhaps, were reports in April that Donald Trump \u2014 angered by Keir Starmer\u2019s lack of cooperation in the war against Iran \u2014 might withdraw American support for British ownership of the islands. The British government\u2019s response was a reassertion of the Falklanders\u2019 right to self-determination; memories of the war loom too large for any sensible prime minister to say anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, that first goal in the Azteca \u2014 scored, as Maradona himself said, \u201ca little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God\u201d \u2014 has passed into English footballing folklore. \u201cSame old Argies \u2014 always cheating.\u201d Today\u2019s game, the latest chapter in the saga, sees more at stake than ever: this time it\u2019s a semi-final rather than a quarter-final. But for 60 years this has been about more than sport, and it still is, even if the mood is nowhere near as volatile as it was in 1986.<\/p>\n<p>The rivalry lives on. From a British perspective, there\u2019s something a little reassuring about it. All these years after the Empire collapsed, Britain is still seen as important enough to be denounced as imperialist aggressors. There\u2019s not even any hint of post-colonial guilt \u2014 there was no native population on the Falklands to be slaughtered or oppressed. The lives that were lost were the consequence of invasion by a dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p>Following its Falklands humiliation, Argentina reverted to democracy, and diplomatic relations with Britain were restored. The long, shared history of the two countries was soured by the episode, but it hasn\u2019t been lost. Alongside the mutual suspicion, there\u2019s also a mutual respect. Maradona was cast by English fans as a pantomime villain, but his genius was never doubted. His successor, Lionel Messi, is even more gifted and, lacking the street-tough aggression, inspires affection as well as admiration in Britain. At heart, it remains a family dispute.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityflowjournal.com\/?p=506\">My night in \u2018Mamdani-Ville\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSame old Argies \u2014 always cheating.\u201d The traditional chant of English football fans captures something of the relationship between Britain and Argentina.
