Dos técnicos y veintiocho jugadores para la gran empresa

A look at the coaching staff and player pool for the 1966 World Cup, which is 6 months away

Newspaper declares this the year of Argentina, that soccer officials finally understand that only with seriousness and responsibility will Argentina win championships like the World Cup. Although foreign observers list Argentina as one of the favorites, perhaps among the top 4-6 teams in the world, the newspaper favors Argentina to win the whole WC because it boasts a much better generation than 1962. It is worth noting that the coverage months before the tournament saw a resurgence of old notions of footballing superiority–minimizing the fact that Brazil had won the last 2 tournaments and the host country was perenially powerful England.
