Deportes ⚽ Sending strength to the team that is making me fall in love with football again
As a lifelong football fan only 3 other teams have brought me to tears and made me feel the range of emotions I’ve felt while watching this argentina team (Barcelona during Guardiola, Morocco in Qatar, AC MILAN 2006). Even in the midst of a full blown hate campaign led by anglo saxon protestants aimed at antagonizing an entire latin American country of nearly 50 million people this propaganda will never make me support a European team over any south American team, let alone one that is showing so much heart.
When I watch Argentina plays, I’m almost brought to tears by the love these players have for the greatest player in the world. This is pure South American football, catholics with heart, soul, zeal, ardor going against 2 meter long GIANTS from Europe and WINNING. Add to that the fact that this team believes that they CAN’T lose if they give it all they have, blood sweat and tears for the memory of DIEGO, Messi’s last tango, and their people. Absolute cinema. I’m telling you, I will be with the Argentinian community of my city cheering and singing to encourage your team. IF YOUR TEAM WINS THIS WEEKEND I PROMISE YOU I WILL COME TO BUENOS AIRES LATER THIS YEAR AND GET BAPTIZED IN ROSARIO.
STRENGTH AND HONOR!
