Iver is pretty soccer-obsessed and we have been reading facts and books on Lionel Messi (his favorite player) obtained from the library. Do you notice anything about this flag ("Argentina")?
I didn't. However, Iver (who attends a Spanish-immersion elementary school) informed me, "I KNOW MY FLAGS! That is Guatemala's flag, not Argentina's. Argentina's stripes are horizontal and there's a sun in the middle!"
A quick google search confirmed that, in fact, he was right. This Stars of World Soccer book has the wrong flag printed for every Argentinian player mentioned!
In case you are also baffled, this is what Argentina's flag (same colors, different configuration) looks like!
Time for a third-grader's letter to the editor?!
