Bochorno en Wembley, una ilusión rota y un éxito inglés injusto; Victoria a lo pirro; Sin claudicaciones
Subject
Various articles on Argentina's match against England
Description
Headline: “Scandal in Wembley, a broken dream and the English exit that was unjust” seemed like a matter-of-fact report on the match; however, some detail appears on the dismissal of Argentine captain Umberto Rattín. He approached the referee in order to ask for a clarification, later interpretation, while showing his armband as captain (which gave him permission to address the referee) but was soon expelled. Another article sums it up as Argentina playing cautiously in front of a host nation, while the English played conservatively in order not to lose—which led to a lot of fouls. Both teams played bad. The dismissal the captain was more of a “Ripley’s believe it or not” moment. Despite the controversial aspects of the match, Argentina made a memorable tournament that was unexpected. Argentine fans should realize, however, that the moment has arrived for a transformation of "our football." A minor headline of from the English press calling the Argentines “toros salvajes” will take steam the following day. The last article basically states that Argentina took too many defensive minded players and not enough offensive minded players. The journalist declares that the style employed at the World Cup does not convince—especially to those accustomed to a different way of playing.
