I got to the bar just before the national anthems for the Argies and krauts.

What was the craic with the captains giving a speach before the anthems, it was obviously in their native tongue, and the commentary over here is all in arabic so nobody know what was said.

Cananybody enlighten me?

But we couldn't understand it cos it was in horrid krauty and dirty nasty argie languages. Shame because I'm all for racial equality.
