    Yet they are still used everywhere today. Worry not, Argentina will rise again.

    Quick question, where do you think spain would be without all of the gold they stole from America and if they weren’t in the EU?

    You also didn’t answer my other question, if there is nothing spaniards like from Argentina, why are lots of our grandparents immigrants and why are there 544.000 spanish immigrants right now? There are literally more spaniards in argentina than argentinians in spain.

      Because about 90 years ago there was a civil war in Spain and couple of other big wars in Europe. After the war Spain was in a bad state, similar to how Argentina is today, and a lot of people emigrated looking for better life. Argentina was a popular destination because it was culturally similar and people spoke the same language. It was also more stable and welcoming to immigrants as it was looking for people to colonize it’s empty land. Isn’t that obvious?

      Quick question, where do you think spain would be without all of the gold they stole from America and if they weren’t in the EU?

      Why not go back even further? Where would Spain be if it didn’t join the Roman Empire? I’m talking about the last 40 years and you keep bringing up ancient history. It just confirms you really don’t have nothing to be proud of in the last decades. Nothing other than football. I’m not saying it to make fun of Argentina. It’s just facts. If you really think Europeans are envious of it you’re delusional. And no amount of facts will cure your delusions.

        Nope. 544.000 is the number of immigrants today, not 90 years ago. Care to try again?

        Why not go back even further?

        Because it doesn’t make sense? I’m talking historically recent events that are very closely related to the current state of the world. It’s been barely 10 generations since Argentina gained its independence.

          Nothing you mentioned (other than football) is recent. If you can’t figure out why people that emigrated couple of decades ago are still there I can’t help you.

            Recent =/= historically recent.

            My man, someone that immigrated 90 years ago would most likely be over a 100 years old. Does it really hurt that much that over half a million spaniards chose Argentina over Spain?

            Don’t be so obtuse. I don’t want to use the G word.

              They probably move so they to celebrate World Cups real hard. They envy the passion for football Argentinians have.
