Everybody in Argentina can remember 'the hand of God' in the England match in the 1986 World Cup. Now, in my country, the 'hand of God' has brought us an Argentinian pope.
There are hundreds of Beckhams playing football all over the world.

You can say a lot of things about me, but you can never say I don't take risks.
