A guttural roar
Itâs incredibly small time from the argentian players.
Considering he scored 4 past him Iâm not sure what heâs on about.
That one in particular seems like a knobhead.
The French donât like it up them at all. Argies a proper breed of people.
Iâd say mbappe is a desperate cunt too though.

Messi will be rightly fired up for the rest of the season with PSG Iâd say. Still has it all to prove
I remember drinking in Santiago one time and stumbling across a massive statue of a mick on horse back adorning their main boulevard. Turns out the whole street was named after him. Any Chilean I spoke to were aware of OâHiggins Irish connections and were extremely sound in explaining to me what he did for chile. Think his parents were from Westmeath originally.
South America, like everywhere really. Once you told the locals that you werenât English, they had the warmest welcome for ya, the finest people.

Bernardo OâHigginsâ father was the Viceroy to Peru. Bernardo was illegitimate and his father disowned him.
Yep. He was an aristocrat. And got land the size of Tipp when the father died. Pretty sure the father was born in Ireland. Could be wrong though.
There are some Mexicans with the surname âOâFarrillâ. e.g. a Mexican comedian called Ricardo O´Farrill. I worked with a fella in Dublin with the same surname. Not sure if there was a strong Irish connection at all to Mexico in the past, apart from the San Patricio battalion in their army.
Wasnât Zorro actually a Wexican?
Your ignorance knows no bounds.
St. Brendan landed in Mexico in the 6th century and brought the word of Christ to the natives. There was a sizeable settlement of Irish in Mexico in the 19th century. Zorro was indeed irish.
From Argentina in the south, to Newfoundland in the north, the irish have shaped the Americas profoundly and bar in the US, have largely fought for freedom and against oppression on the continent.
Canât find any background info on Zorro being a Wexican?
I wouldnât imagine there is any strong family links at all left between Ireland and Argentina/Chile/Mexico today as there would be US, UK, Aus etc. I donât know anyone with Argentinian cousins etc, though have met Argentinians in Ireland with Irish links.
