But back then it was a symbol of humanity. The soldiers on either side of the trenches fraternising, since they had more in common with their comrades on the other side than their own officers. If they had had their way, the war would have ended there and then.

Well congrats Argentina. Hope we all live to see another World Cup. Or in my case, hear about it.
