Clear your diary, put the kick-off time on the calendar and forget about any thoughts of sitting down to watch the beautiful game. Argentina against England is much more than a football match. It’s a ferocious and deep-rooted rivalry that’s full of enmity and transcends the sport.Inevitably, the Falkland Islands will be part of the discourse in the days that follow, even if England and Argentina have more than enough history on the pitch to prevent a 74-day conflict that took place 40 years ago from being a big talking point.“This is a football game,” Lionel Scaloni, the Argentina coach, pointedly replied when asked if he had a message for the country’s supporters about playing England. “They have an excellent coach, and this is a football game, and that’s all.”The underlying meaning behind Scaloni’s answer was loud and clear, much like the chant that was reverberating around Arrowhead Stadium after Argentina’s latest dramatic victory – a 3-1 victory over Switzerland, courtesy of two goals in the second half of extra time.“El que no salta es un ingles” – “He who doesn’t jump is an Englishman” – was the soundtrack of the night in Kansas City. It’s a song that Argentina supporters don’t need an excuse to sing at any time, but the words, and the strength of feeling behind them, resonated even more with next week’s meeting in Atlanta on the horizon.
