Haven’t done a standalone post in a while but really felt the need to write about this to really reflect and process my thoughts that Argentina is the World Cup champion. After waiting for this moment my whole life and getting heart broken.
Growing up a fan I was locked in for every game Argentina played I watched amazed for years at how beautiful the team played and the spectacular players that have put on the jersey.
My heros all wore that jersey, Bati, Cambiasso, Zanetti, Riquelme, Tevez, Aguero, Maxi, and so many more great names that played great game and scored so many goals that we celebrated over the years yelling golazo after golazo.
I also suffered the 2014 WC Finals so much. I remember the lead up to the final and the final so vividly. In Europe with the boys we had been following the cup the whole way and coincidentally happened to be in Amsterdam for the final after we saw the crazy semi final in Berlin. Which was a little flip flopped considering we beat the Dutch in the semis and played the Germans in the finals but we were in a restaurant watching the final and I remember watching Gotze put in that goal in extra time and crying watching the defeat.
In 2018 we went to Russia to support Argentina and Peru seeing two great games in Sochi before continuing our trip in the rest of Europe ending up in England where we say the game where we say the game where Argentina played France is the knockout round. The atmosphere in that place was electric and every goal had people yelling and junping. Seeing France win the tournament in the end gave me a little peace but still thought we had a fantastic squad in Russia even though in my opinion Sampaoli wasn’t the best coach we’ve had and it made the squad a little disorganized.
From that tournament to the World Cup I was really liking the team. They were playing together well under Scaloni and the Copa America was an outstanding run, we won a great game against Colombia in penalties which gave me a lot of confidence in Dibu and then a great team performance in the final.
This final game meant a lot, really came into the world cup with a lot of confidence. We were a force to be reckoned with and I was up at 5AM ready to watch the first game, and suffered watching all the goals get called back with offsides calls coming up once the ball was already in the back of the net.
The quarter final game against the dutch again was a wild game that ended in a penalty shootout. Thought we had it in the bag with the 2-0 and even jumped off the roof of the boat in the jersey. Only to suffer through the end soaking wet as we squeaked out the win in a penalty shootout.
The semi final was a masterpiece of football. We played a spectacular game. The whole team was on and Messi showed his class with one of the craziest runs and seeing him do that and how they dominated was insane.
The final was insane, one of the craziest games of my life and one of the most wild soccer games in history, period. Thought once again we had it in the bag up 2-0 at the half. But it’s such a beautiful game that will always find a way to surprise you especially when it’s played at the highest level. What a roller coaster with them fighting back and us going ahead once again before they equalized after a missed called and a pk. Then they had a chance to walk it off which was saved spectacularly which gave us the last counter attack of the game before penalties. Going into penalties I knew we had it in the bag but still sweated each one and what a feeling when we finally won. Relief and joy and an indescribable happiness. Que orgullo ser Argentino. Gracias Messi! We did it! After suffering we made it and won! The scenes seeing Messi coming back home was incredible. I’m so full of joy and hope to see him soon.
Overall the World Cup was amazing and I saw this video summarizing the journey.

The scenes from the celebration were crazy, seeing all the people in the streets in Buenos Aires was insane.
I had made a promise to go for three months if we won the World Cup but realistically I should only go for a few days but how prices are going the ticket itself is gonna be crazy.
Even had the fam in Rosario there in the crowd greeting him when he pulled up to El Kentucky.
Thank you God for the third! Gracias capitan!
VAMOS ARGENTINA CARAJO!!!
Nos vemos pronto
Martín
