Argentina's Uniqueness

There are lots of sports-related things that are unique to Argentina. Pato, a game played on horseback where the players try to throw a ball through a vertical hoop, isn’t very popular, even though it’s the country’s national sport. There’s no baseball or football as we know it in Argentina. Their football, which, to us, is soccer, is the most popular sport. Rugby union, which was first played in 1873, is another one of the more popular sports. While lots of women in Argentina participate in sports, there aren’t very many professional/national teams for them to play on. When you take all of this into account, you can see that there are many sports-related things in Argentina that are a lot different to the United States.
