Argentines for the world!

We had the best football player (Soccer): D. A Maradona.

The Italians beg to differ, they voted John Charles as the best foreign player ever to play in Serie A ahead of Zidane, van Basten, Platini and Maradona.

When Charles visited Turin nearly 50 years after he played for Juve 40 000 people lined the streets to get a glimpse of him.
Even the great Pele said that had Charles been fit for Brazils match against Wales in the '58 World Cup Wales may well have won.
He scored 98 goals in 150 appearances for Juve and 150 in 297 for Leeds.
Charles was never booked or sent off during his entire career.
 
We had the best car racer: J.M. Fangio.
We have the best football player (Soccer): Lio Messi.

I'm thinking the best race car driver is Tom Kristensen, 8 times Le Mans winner so far.

Speaking of Messi, Barcelona and Argentina. I was in Barcelona a few years ago with my then Argentine girlfriend where we found a restaurant called La Concha. The best part being that it was a Argentinian asado restaurant. Gotta love that humor :D

We have a queen in Holland: Máxima.
now, we have an Argentine Pope.

Next steep: the forum, ja ja ja...

Congratulations and good luck Jorge Mario Bergoglio!, although I'm atheist.

Do not forget the asado and the dulce de leche. :D

I too am an atheist, but the news made me very happy, the new Pope has part of his family in my town, they meet every year to eat "Bagna Cauda" a traditional Italian food that I never dared to try...

The most important thing is that he is a good man. :)

The new pope also is a masters-level chemist. Woo-hoo!!!!

Well, nobody's perfect... :D
