Mick sure knows we're a football country, and yesterday he made a few comments:

He talk about the two La Plata teams (Estudiantes de la Plata and Gimnasia y Esgrima), who played a friendly match which ended on a battle between players. That's why he said "hope today will be a friendly match, because today WE'RE LOCALS!!"

When he introduce the band

Ronnie: "El loco Gatti de la guitarra". Gatti was a Boca Juniors goalkeeper nicknamed "crazy / madmen", he used to stay outside the penaly area, as if he was a defender!! He also have a classical "skill" which was called "La de Dios" (God's one), he put on his knees as if he was praying, to put some nerves. Also, there is a famous history when a young Maradona playing for Argentinos Juniors and Gatti on Boca, and Gatti said "this little fat guy couldn't make a goal", and Diego made 4 goals that day!!

Charlie: "Alfredo DiStefano de la batería" (Alfredo Distefano was one of the great names in Football history, associated with River Plate and Real Madrid)

Yeah, he usually makes some local references, often about sport teams.

Right, you tell football fans from Brazil about Mick Jagger
