Why Argentina? I asked.

“This shirt was a gift. Nothing to do with soccer.”

He told me I could have a minute of his time. Anthony, an Italian Canadian from Montreal, doesn’t follow soccer, or any sport. Which was curious since he looked to me as an athlete. He doesn’t have any interest in Italian, not even in Canadian sports. He told me: Why would I? Tell me a good reason why would I follow any sport? But my time was up and he walked away.
