Lucky Argentine students in the Cordoba, Mendoza, Santa Fe and Formosa provinces will be able to view the national squad's World Cup matches in their classrooms.
Critics of the plan have stated the schools risk losing their educational focus, however those in favour (including the Education Minister, no less) argue that watching the matches will allow students to learn about other cultures. A more credible claim is that it would also help fight truancy rates, which rocketed during the previous tournament in 2002.
