Various articles (history of soccer)
El Hogar: Ilustración Semanal Argentina
Select articles from the publication El Hogar that offer the history of soccer in Argentina, as well as the origin of association football in England. These pieces are some of the earliest examples of the mythmaking that took pace when recounting the "official origin" of Argentine soccer, which sought to link Argentina to the Old World in a direct way and thus privilege soccer's evolution in Argentina over other areas of South America. This issue of the magazine from 1915 is one of the earliest examples of a soccer-focused magazine publication in Argentina.

FIFA Must Guide World Club Cup: Rous Call for Inquiry; Victory Without Honour for the Argentines
Coverage of the 1967 Intercontinental Cup
The first article offers an interview between journalist Geoffrey Greene and Stanley Rous, then FIFA President. It discusses the state of the Intercontinental Cup and solutions moving forward to ensure greater sportsmanship and wider participation by other soccer confederations besides UEFA and CONMEBOL. The second article delves into what Greene characterizes as an "ugly, bitter playoff" by continuing to use disparaging comments about Racing players to contrast with the stoic Celtic side that ultimately "had enough of the ruthlessness of the Argentines and matched them in their own type of warfare." The third game and title went to Racing. Afterwards, manager Jock Stein told the British press: "What can I say? We got caught up in a brawl." The article delegitimizes Racing's triumph, calling it "ilicit," "without honour," and a "disgraceful proceeding."

Celtic Beaten But Earn Play-Off: Simpson Hit by Bottle
Coverage of the 1967 Intercontinental Cup
The Scottish press' coverage of Racing's 2-1 victory in the second game of a two-leg series continues to offer dismissive comments about Racing and stereotypes of the Argentine players. The author juxtaposes the "vicious kicking and hacking" by Racing players with Celtic, who he writes "astonished the neutrals present by their discipline and self-control. Not once, in spote of terrible provocation, did they show dissent or annoyance. They accepted all the cold-blooded punishment a Uruguayan referee allowed Racing to administer with a dignity that was almost beyond belief." The article also notes how the goalkeeper, Ronnie Sampson, suffered a head injury after a local spectator threw a projectile at the Scottish keeper, and wondered if Celtic players would recover from their injuries on time for the decisive tie-breaking third match in Montevideo. [The article quotes both the Celtic chairman and manager Jock Stein about their hesitancy to play a third game in Uruguay based on the physicality on display]
