N: And finally, the country that I’m in: Argentina. The 20-lane Avenue 9th July is the widest street on the planet and if you need to know where you are in the city, it’s an easy reference point as it cuts through the metropolis from north to south. La Boca, the port where the first Spaniards landed, is one of the poorest regions in the city. The people of La Boca share one of Argentina’s greatest passions: football. From its slums have come some of the greatest players and its most famous team. La Boca is where Diego Maradona, one of football’s leading legends, began his career. So why is football so important to Argentinians?

W: Because we are a very passionate country. We are Latins.

M: In every way, we have passion, for football, for music. We are also famous for the tango. People started dancing the tango in the 1800s. N: It’s a dance full of passion and emotion.
