The team also won the 1992 FIFA Confederations Cup. Argentina's World Cup winning managers are César Luis Menotti in 1978 and Carlos Bilardo in 1986.Īrgentina has also been very successful in the Copa América, winning it 15 times, most recently led by Lionel Messi in 2021, and are currently tied with Uruguay in most wins. Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, made their fifth appearance in a World Cup final in 2014, again losing to Germany 1–0 during extra-time.

Argentina's home stadium is Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti in Buenos Aires. The Argentina national football team ( Spanish: Selección de fútbol de Argentina) represents Argentina in men's international football and is administered by the Argentine Football Association, the governing body for football in Argentina. In other business, the governing body approved a site plan for Brew Lab 101 to make its back-patio seating area permanent and OK’d the consent agenda, which included a budget adjustment for replacing the Esther Bone Memorial Library roof.1 (March 2007, October 2007 – June 2008, July–October 2015, April 2016 – April 2017) Hull said the governing body needed an overwhelming reason to deny the site plan or the move would be taking property rights. “While you might want something else (here), you could get something else that’s a whole lot worse,” Wymer said. “My opinion is that this is a pretty low-intensity use,” he said.īusinesses the zoning allows include adult-only bookstores or theaters, concrete-batching plants and sheet-metal sales. He expects four vehicles per day to come and go from the facility.Ĭity Councilor Paul Wymer said RV storage had since at least 1989 been a permissive use of the land, which was zoned for manufacturing and commercial use. Litsas said RV washing would use less water than a retail establishment, the property had been vacant for decades with no other proposed use and the wash water and sewage from RVs would go into the city sewer system. Two residents of the adjoining neighborhood, Suzanne Santillanes and Suzanne Walters, protested that they wanted a business for their children in the space, washing RVs would use too much water and they were concerned about pollution from washing the vehicles and from owners dumping wastewater from them. The main entrance is expected to be off Rockaway, west of the existing commercial center. Stephen Litsas, agent for property owner Macritchie Storage Ventures, said the facility would be paved and have about 405 covered RV parking places, as well as washing and dump stations. In another matter, governing body members unanimously approved a site plan for an RV storage lot at the corner of NM 528 and Rockaway Boulevard. “I think we’re all going to be really, really happy when we see this get underway,” he said. “This is something that’s well-needed, and I’m really excited to see what’s going to transpire over there at that corner,” said City Councilor Bob Tyler. He didn’t say what stores might be there, and developers often don’t know which businesses will come until much later in the process. Jim Strozier of Consensus Planning, agent for the State Land Office, said the zoning change, accompanied by an amendment to the area’s master plan, was part of the refinement of a 23.5-acre parcel for the shopping center. Mayor Gregg Hull voted in the absence of City Councilor Jeremy Lenentine. The State Land Office owns the parcel and much of the land around it, and last year, took public input on whether to sell it for retail development.
