To England fans who constantly state “but the Falklands!” Every time we post support for Argentina: This is a very important story to us. In 1865, our people fled English oppression to preserve their language, religion and culture. In Chubut they created a new home, and that connection remains strong today in the language, place names, and traditions that are honoured in the Wladfa. You can still find authentic Welsh foods and desserts, Eisteddfodau, and overall a great group of people who are both proud of their heritage and proud Argentinians. This connection isn’t new. It deepened after the Falklands War after we discovered Welsh-speaking Argentine POW’s. But the decades since, our football clubs like Wrexham AFC have hosted special nights for Argentina because of that bond. We aren’t cheering for them because we’re jumping on an anti-England bandwagon. Here are two of the flags representing Y Wladfa, reminiscent of the land they still loved and called home.
