Went to Argentina years ago before children and took in a River Plate game

They had a no 10 (can't remember his name) who was really good, and he spent the entire game getting absolutely lamped - slammed into - every time he even went close to the ball. He took it like an absolute trooper, and ended up setting up the winning goal.

South American football is very physical. Not necessarily quick, but very physical.
