    POPE FRANCIS RECEIVES AN AUTOGRAPHED "ALBICELESTE" SHIRT   
    Vatican City, 17 July 2014 (VIS) - The players of the Argentine national   
   football team have given Pope Francis an "Albiceleste" shirt signed by all the   
   members of the team. Although Argentina fell at the final hurdle during the   
   final of the World Cup 2014 in Brazil, losing 1:0 to Germany in extra time,   
   the team said they were confident the Pope thought of them throughout the   
   tournament.   
    A large-scale wall photo of the team with the Pope was installed by the   
   Asociacion de Futbol Argentino (AFA) at the Brazilian sports complex where the   
   team trained during the World Cup, a snapshot taken when the team visited Pope   
   Francis in the Vatican, on the occasion of the friendly match against Italy in   
   his honour.
