Go Argentina, damn it! The quarterfinals are coming and our hearts beat harder than ever. Because if there’s one thing we Argentines know, it’s that in this stage, history is on our side. From Diego’s immortal goals against the English in ’86 to the Battle of Lusail in Qatar, every quarterfinal match is a madness that makes us vibrate.
Let’s start with ’86, that Mexico that saw us champions. Who forgets that 2-1 against the English? Diego Maradona, the greatest, gave us two gems: the Hand of God and the Goal of the Century. Don’t tell me! That was pure magic. And then, the 2-0 against Belgium in the semis and the 3-2 against Germany in the final. Madness!
Years passed, and in ’90, also in the quarterfinals, we faced Yugoslavia. What happened? A 0-0 draw and penalties! And then Goycochea, the hero, appeared to save two penalties and get us into the semis. Then Italy awaited us, but that’s another story.
In ’98, France eliminated us in the quarterfinals. Does it hurt? Yes, but we also learned. And in 2006, Germany equalized at the end and beat us on penalties. What a rage! But hey, the national team always gets back up.
And we reached 2014, with Messi as captain. In the quarterfinals, Belgium was the rival. And we won 1-0! A goal by Higuaín and on to the semis. Then Germany beat us in the final, but that journey was epic.
Finally, Qatar 2022. La Scaloneta! In the quarterfinals, the Netherlands. What a match, huh? 2-2 in 90 minutes, and on penalties, again Dibu Martínez, the hero, saving two penalties. This is madness! Then Croatia and France, and the third star. Go Argentina!
So, guys, let’s get ready. Because when Argentina plays quarterfinals, history is on our side. Another feat is coming!
