Destruye un balance triunfal los efectos que puede causar el derrotismo fuera de lugar

A cautionary article on the failings of Argentine fútbol

One of the recurring criticisms in the press after the debacle of the 1958 World Cup was the fear of losing that took hold among players. But here, in 1957, we see this same theme of "derrotismo" appear. Goles acknowledges that losing is part of the game, but also reminds readers that Argentine teams have also had their share of success in recent years. Therefore, any loss should be placed in proper perspective. Fans should not develop a sense of "derrotismo" after a few reversals.
