2. ARGENTINA

They've been good for about as long as the game has been played. They have so much history that your default expectation is for them to always be good, even great. But the reality doesn't support that: they haven't won anything in around twenty years. They haven't been horrible (usually), but they have not at all lived up to the greatness of their traditions. Supposedly, this will be the year when they restore the luster. But we've been hearing that for a loooooooooooong time.

ARGENTINA =

THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS

That is spot on about the Redskins.

Ps. John Riggins (the man in the pic) was a fukn BEAST. Legend right there.

Yeah he's rich but he spends his time with us losers.

It was actually the most drawn number for a while.

Probably not now though, I never win a thing.

I thought the USA = Houston Texans analogy was pretty apt.
