The Match

Only a few years before, a territorial dispute over the Falkland Islands led to war between the United Kingdon and Argentina, leading to hundreds of casualties on both sides. At the Cup, players and team management of each country insist that politics will have no role in this sporting fixture, the reality proves more complex. Revealing and humorous – and featuring interviews with players from the game like Gary Lineker, John Barnes and Jorge Valdano – The Match is joyous and poignant.
