Cartoon and commentary demeans Uruguayan victory. Not only does it try to invalidate it as unjust, but also portrays Uruguayans as savages in racialized terms. No longer are they the "porteño" brothers of a similar culture (gaucheque, mate,…

Unlike the 1928 Olympics, where reasons were largely external, this loss to Uruguay looks inward at poor preparation and the role (for worse) of soccer officials. Negative portrayal of club officials as well-to-do men who become rich off soccer.

Seoane is labeled "el negro", which supports other scholarship (Karush) on the acceptance of "indios" and "morochos" as proud symbols of criollo fútbol. The second image describes as "scientific" centre-forward as a "crack", posing with his two…

The first article describes the draw between Uruguay and Argentina in the first match (with excuses for why Argentines couldn't beat their rivals); the second article explains why Argentines are better than the Uruguayans, even though they lost.

Just as its victories represent Argentina in international tournaments, River's loss to Nacional reflects national disillusionment as it represents the country. More disappointment will come at the 1966 World Cup a month later.
