¿Hemos ido a Europa a enseñar fútbol?

¿Hemos ido a Europa a enseñar fútbol?

Another example of how Argentine started to see themselves as the ultimate practitioners of soccer

This article follows one on the previous page that translates the Dutch reaction in the press to the Olympic final. The Dutch describe the Argentines as better than the Uruguayans, but their opponents defense was exceptional and the goalie even lucky at times. This article wonders why British teams like Motherwell come to Argentina to teach them how to play, when Argentines traveled to Europe and played for the world championship. The article also describes the Argentines as skillful compared to the "brutish" Motherwell side. Also, the author cites Boca's 1925 tour as a reason why Argentines were confident of doing well and mentioned the universal praise by the European press for the Argentine side.
