the day after of broken illusion : Argentina was out of the World Cup


It is very difficult to express what happened, nobody expected this lost that Germany beated Argentina 4-0 wi
It was a right lost , without any tricks, any other connotations , only the broken team who has been showing an attitude , spirit and conviction that this could never happened .
But the fact is that it reached to many many people who instantly without yelling at , complaining got shocked and turn off Tv disconected from Internet and Radios, it was in some way very impressive that all people had the same reaction , silence , to not hear nothing more , tears of course cause was a great illusion that meant to a huge quantity of people not only argentines ,
The broken illusion, means many things that all who waved this great team and the magic of Maradona , would made history in a World Cup as a player he did , and we all know if we would win , nobody would speak or tell what today are doing , this is the price of the risk , like the New York times a day before published the apologyzes to Maradona for underminding him , well nothing changes at all ,
we lost with a great strong oponent , who proves other style of playing , the soccer game changed now the team is a collective game , not a team for individual stars , this is the lesson we could read at first sight , but we know we have the great players , we care allot about Messi who had to carry on in his shoulders the pressure to show he is the talented one , and he is , he will be , that we have wonderful individulalities , that saddly they couldnt show up on that match , but i will keep in my mind that IF We Would Have Won , today we would be talking in other terms,
It was a mistake of tactics yes, the middle field needed to be stronger but now all technical advise doesnt work , to explain or give excuses , We assume we lost with a wonderful team who we are proud , they gave us allot of happiness during 45 and more days and always watching our Argentine jersey in the soccer field will feel proud and joy cause the results are results for today, the talents are for ever ,the great players made history and nobody will deny that Argentina always made history in some or other ways , and we honour to Diego Maradona who we hope he keeps going on and next step will be the American Cup , do we have team ? yes sure we have enough ,
  • Our best wishes to other teams :Brazil our forever oponnent but they got their own gift for this game , England team , yes the main rival but always respected , we dont forget our roots and the admiration to both such teams , except personally Spain , cause i consider that their press and their attitude was too much hostile and rude , and they really dont have the facts and the authority to critizise to destroy like they did , but time put always things in their right place , and Pele who was one against to this World Cup Organization ,in Southafrika, these are the main negative sides i saw , but we are used to deal with the adversity and criticism , this is part of the evolution ,
We wave and congratulate to Holland, Uruguay ,and Germany who personally think it is the possible winner of the World Cup.
One other point is to thank to the host country Southafrika who showed to the world many important sides of its cultures , how people were very kind and welcome to everyone , where nature and a big civilization with many needs and issues could give the chance that the world through the sport could join the cultures and hope that in thee time s of crisis in the world , we could develop more and do more through fair ways like sports , arts , music , and more to get through and nothing is impossible if we have a good will
thanks to our team and coach Diego Maradona who we are proud and we know they gave us allot of values more than a simple soccer game , wishing that Sports will always give the escence of values life , meaning health , education , training , efforts and joy .

Es la primera vez que comento sobre la derrota. Hay muchas opiniones que prefiero guardar porque seria hacer leña del arbol caido.
Muy buena nota Sil. Como argentina, comparto el sentimiento de desilucion, aunque ya viendo a la distancia. Creo que a mucho argentinos les paso como a mi, de no tener fe en Maradna como técnico, pero creo que hizo un buen trabajo en Sudafrica y supero las expectativas. También es cierto que hay muchas cosas para corregir, pero pienso que vamos por buen camino. Me molesta los comentarios malintencionados de periodistas que cuando Argentina ganaba, era la mejor de todas, y cuando perdio de repente era el equipo con mas fallas, no voy a decir quiénes son porque todos lo saben. Lo importante es más allá de las diferentes opiniones, seguir apoyando a la Seleccion Argentina, no solo en futbol sino en todos los deportes. Y transladar ese sentimiento nacionalista, que todos sienten en el mundial, a la vida diaria.
Vamos Argentina!!
