Commentary on the Copa de Naciones

Lucero continues to criticize the Argentine team, characterizing their play as “night” and the Brazilian game (against England) as “day”. This is an article that values the spectacle, the style of play that is fluid and artistic, seen as more important than winning. Unlike the Brazilians who move off the ball well and recover lost balls, the Argentines have stiff feet, a rigid waist, and players losing possession meant losing confidence. The only positive was the fighting spirit of the team.
