First Kempes, then Maradona and now Messi

Date:

Before the start of the World Cup, Argentina was on the podium of the betting houses. Coach is right scaloni They already have more compensatory teams than the Albiceleste in other World Cup events. And that’s true, too Messi He arrives in a very good situation, as the head of the project, to spend his last cartridge and get what he lacks: to become a World Champion and be crowned, without question, as the best soccer player of all time. In addition, Argentina’s soccer potential deserves to win the World Cup today without having to put an asterisk in the footnote.

In the 1978 World Cup, Mario Kempes He was the star, he was the top scorer in the tournament and he scored in the celebrated final… But that championship was played at home, under the dictatorship of Videla and the 6-0 against Peru, on a day when Argentina needed to win by 4 goals, and the controversy over that fixture is still alive today.

In Mexico 86, Argentina was crowned Maradona at its very best time. Single Lineker scored more goals than him. But in the quarterfinals, precisely in a single match against England, ‘the kid’ scored the best and worst goal of his life. Initially, his shot with the “hand of God” would now be overruled by VAR in an instant. Five minutes later, he paid for his cheating by scoring the “goal of the century” by dribbling past everyone. That controversial 2-1 qualified them for the semifinals.

It’s time for Argentina to lift a World Cup without boots. This is that moment Messi put the finishing touch on his career that eluded him in the Maracana final. Leo is not eligible to retire having won a World Cup less than pee.
