Guess there's no love lost between Argentina and Brazil!

Hey Jason, Jack already has a Messi jersey, and everywhere he goes he yells, "Messi!" too. Can't wait for the game to begin!

And, Carol, I do know that Brazil was heavily influenced by the Portuguese, though am less informed about their influence in Argentina, where there is for certain a heavy Italian presence.

All I can tell for sure is that Argentina and Brazil have a BIG rivalry. Jack has a Brazilian friend at The Early School, and her mother, who is really the one from Brazil, kept kidding Jack about "choosing" to go to Argentina.
