What ever happened to this friendly,is it still a possibility?
There was a lot of talk last year about this game or even games home and away,something to do with Welsh/Patagonia connections.

Yes, this year is the 150th anniversary of the establishing of 'Y Wladfa', which is the Welsh settlement in Argentina.

I heard somewhere on Twitter the other day that Argentina wanted £2m to play, though. I must confess that I was quite surprised that they wanted so much! :shock:

The nutjob argentine government wouldn't allow it proberly as they would claim it promotes the Welsh settlement in Patagonia. Which would undoubtedly lead to them accusing Britain of imperialism. :roll:
