Choripán said:Though I would love to see Paraguay slug its way through Spain and Argentina, and then embarrass Uruguay in the final, if only to get a little payback for all the anti-Paraguayan racism (and let's be honest there is a lot of it) pitched routinely on the streets of Buenos Aires.
Choripán said:Ok, so maybe I was a little harsh with that. But...
I think people stick with the Argies over the years because at the end of the day they are a remarkably good team and have played very well and indeed even responsibly in this tournament. And there is a difference between cheating to improve your own score and cheating to lower that of another. Falsely tearing someone else down is always a bigger offense than falsely building yourself up. The one is unforgivable, the other is, as you point out, simply life itself.
That said, I would like to clarify that I think the team behaved like a "worthless piece of shit," not the country or its people. Like everyone else, I visit Uruguay, or at least Colonia, every 90 days and "worthless piece of shit" is not the phrase I would use to describe it. There are many other ways to describe it.
