I would think Argentina would be preoccupied with the World Cup right now and put this Falklands/Malvinas thing off until afterwards. ;-)

There was a World Cup in 1982 as well. In fact, Argentina, champions at the time, knocked England out of the Cup. It was, as far as I know, the only time countries have played each other at football while their troops were in action against each other.
