Speaking of Argentina and England, the two countries have been enemies for a long time in the history of soccer, which is commonly known as the "Anglo-Argentine feud". Nowadays, people generally believe that the Anglo-Argentine feud started from a political event, which means that after the Battle of the Falkland Islands in 1982, Argentina and England have formed a bond, but in fact, this statement is not entirely correct, because the two countries have been in the soccer a long time ago. This is actually not true, because the two countries have been at loggerheads in soccer for a long time.
These two countries have had a number of meetings in history, and the two teams really hate each other in the 1966 World Cup, the two sides met in the last eight, this encounter with Argentina was very intense, a lot of rough action, and finally Argentina's captain Latyn was sent off with a red card, the Argentinean side thought that the referee was biased in favor of the hosting country, England, and Latyn was sentenced to hit the England lions in the corner of the flag, as well as intentionally sitting on the red carpet (the Queen will go later) and other actions. The red carpet (the Queen will be walking later) and other actions, England manager Ramsey at the time

After the match, Argentina was scolded by reporters as "a bunch of beasts!" (this word is very crucial and can be interpreted as beasts), since then Argentina has regarded England as its second sworn enemy in addition to Brazil, which is something that both Argentina

Or fans, for that matter.
The radical fans of the two teams in Europe and South America, in fact, are notorious soccer hooligans, England soccer hooligans in the former Europe is rampant, the ferocity of the Argentine fans in South America is no less, which may also be the past two countries once the war with the real war no different reasons
The Battle of the Falkland Islands in 1982 added fuel to the fire, and Argentina's already declining economy was thrown into disarray after losing the war, which made the Argentine people hate England very much.
That's why Maradona's "Hand of God" and "Six in a row" goals at the 1986 World Cup have made Argentines proud of the fact that as long as they can beat the other team, it's nothing to play tricks on them.
It is against this backdrop that this World Cup Round of 16 clash unfolds!

After his career, Argentina was looking for a new center of gravity.
This 98th World Cup is the so-called "Newborn Argentina", Argentina team had "War God" Batistuta, he is with the aliens of the big Luo and known as the two major strikers of South America's authentic No. 9 ace goal scorer, half forward No. 10 is known as the "little donkey", from Argentina Riverbed, at that time playing for Valencia's Ortega, and the midfield has "little wizard" Veron (because his father Ramon Perón was called a wizard), the midfield also has a good offensive and defensive captain Simeone, the center back also has a short, but excellent defense Ayala, and Argentina's right back at the time, and the goalkeeper Roa is also a pretty good goal!
Argentina's coach Pasarella at the time of the iron fist military impression still remains in people's hearts, he issued a "hair ban" on the Argentine team at the time is a big pipe, the hair is too long players must cut their hair (it should not be up to the shoulders, right?), Argentina's ace back handsome Redondo is said to be because he refused to cooperate with the team, so he was kicked out of the Pasarella!

Of course the legend says that this is a reason, and the main reason is probably because Redondo and Passarella don't get along.
Passarella, a tough Argentine team, was also the team that had the reputation of winning the championship at that time. Indeed, the front, middle and back lines of this Argentine team were considered to be very neat and tidy, but in the first match of the World Cup and the following performance, this Argentine team did not perform as expected to destroy the momentum, instead, in the first match, due to the wonderful performance of the Japanese team, the Argentine midfield had been defended, and the result was that after a slight mistake by the Japanese defense was caught by Batistuta before scoring a goal to win 1-0. As a result, it was only when the Japanese defense made a slight mistake and Batistuta caught it that Argentina scored a goal and won 1-0.
And although they slaughtered Jamaica, who had no defense at all, 5-0 in the second game, they only won 1-0 in the third game against Croesus.

From the results, this Argentina's midfield in fact has not been well integrated, and the lack of pulling power on the side of the road has led to a strong walk in the center, in fact, it is not well played, if it is not the old treacherous plus the captain of the very good condition of the Simeone, Argentina may play even worse, said that the Argentine midfield is relying on the support of the Simeone is in fact, not overstated!
