Marx Brothers Goes All South American

Marx Brothers are always looking to break new boundaries in the search for the outright ordinary and have now expanded into the great South American continent with the recruitment of Argentinian LA gaston0802.

This gaucho has been on our watch list for some time but we were unsure about his ability to lose games with the necessary flair to meet with our aims. Indeed, his win ratio of 73% made MB Towers uneasy towards his potential for this great clan. Until it became apparent that our gaston is blessed with an ability all of his own. You see, dear reader, gaston is a failure at failure and so embodies all that we seek in a recruit to the sisterhood.

You will know that the Tango, a popular dance, originated in Argentina and that this country is also the centre of much footballing excellence (sometimes, this “football” is mistaken for “handball” but I will not enter into this argument now). Gaston0802 mixes the best of his nation’s dance ability with the best of their football ability – he is a cross between Maradonna and Madonna. Alas, he has the footballing skills of Madonna and the dance steps of Maradonna!!

So, we rejoice that our new South American sister joins our great clan and I invite you to join in a Tango with me by clicking this link.

Welcome gaston0802!

David Platt in Wikipedia: "Platt was on the bench for all of England's group games, but was sent on as an extra time substitute in the second round game against Belgium. He responded by scoring a memorable volley on the turn in the very last minute of extra time - his first goal for his country, and also the longest-taking goal ever in the World Cup history - sending England into the quarter finals."

Well. nevermind. Thanks guys ;)
Btw, Maradona 2 - 0 England :D

@ gaston: you officially are on the blacklist now, next to AF9. Your only way out is to write it never happened! It never happened! Therefore: who is David Platt?
