Yet the crowd was booing Argentina in those final 10 minutes, so I just wondered whether we might find double standards at play occasionally, and whether, as latins, we are a bit more forgiving of what we allow latins to get away with and how critical we might be of nations such as Australia.

That was a typo mate. Argentina have won the past two Under 20′s world Cup. Good for you for pointing it out. As for the final ten minutes, Argentina played possession football – something Australia struggled to do for 75 minutes, and it is why South American players are so successful in what they do. The Olyroos played on the counter for the majority of the match. Brilliance my friend eventually wins out.
