Argentina are the new Virtual World Champions

By beating the previous holders, the Ivory Coast (and what do you call someone from the Ivory Coast? an Ivory Coaster? and how about Trinidad? a Trinidaddy? Tobago? Tabogan? Potato Potato?), Argentina have become the new holders of the Virtual World Championship.

They will have to defend their title against Serbia and Montenegro on Friday 16 June at 14:00 BST. My money is on Argentina holding onto it, then losing it to Holland a few days later, where it will remain in perpetuity.
