Title
Celtic Find Way Through Suffocating Defence
Subject
Coverage of the 1967 Intercontinental Cup
Description
The Scottish press' coverage of Celtic's 1-0 win in the first game of a two-leg series is full of dismissive comments about Racing and stereotypes of the "Latin races." The author writes that everything will be against Celtic in Buenos Aires on November 1st, where passions and "every trick in the book" is used. He also criticizes the state of Argentine soccer, which he notes used to produce talent like Di Stéfano and Sívori who were "masters of individualism, showmanship, and creation" but not anymore as the Scottish men had to "suffer body checking and tugging that ruined every dangeorous position."
