Thank God it happened
Thank you for your words
@Hedgehog @Ithikial @Otosan. The country really needed a joy like that. And only football can cheer us up, even if it's incredible. For us this sport is the same as rugby is for Australia, or baseball and basketball is for the USA.
The country literally came to a stand still at the start of the game. The shops closed an hour earlier just so people could watch it on TV at home.
Nothing was heard in the street, only goal shouts and the final celebrations.
A game that seemed accessible was complicated at the end when two goals were scored for us in two minutes and we tied in real time, to then put ourselves back in the lead and again France tied us in extra time. The luck of the penalties was for our side and we achieved the third star in World Cups.
Believe me that for a country that registers the second highest inflation in Latin America behind Venezuela, with a people divided politically speaking, problems of insecurity and unemployment, this achievement unites, at least for one day, the people in a single cause: the football .
And what can be said about Messi. Without him this achievement would not have been possible. And he knew that this was the only card he had left, his last World Cup. For a guy who had won everything (or almost) he was missing this, a world title. It was what put him one step below our other soccer star, Maradona. And he was finally able to do it today. I was lucky enough to see all three world titles (1978, 1986 and now this one). I'm happy.
Celebrations still at night in the center of Buenos Aires. Only football does it.
