Saturday. 11/10/2008. 6pm. And I supported Argentina.
It hurts me inside to say that, but it was easier than I thought. When you are in the middle of the Monumental de Nuñez, surrounded by thousands and thousands of fanaticos hinchas singing for their beloved Argentina, it is impossible not to follow them. And admire! It is a beautiful event and I must confess we Brazilians have a lot to learn with our hermanos from del Plata. Both Argentineans and Uruguayans know how to support their nations and to push their players. And this was no River x Boca...
Also, when you need to support a team that has Messi, Riquelme, Tevez, Aguero & Cia, it is true that you got an easy task in front of you.
So the game went out well and during 90 minutes I felt as one of them: singing, screaming against the referee, celebrating the goals, offending the Uruguayans, enjoying the experience.
"Hay que saltar, hay que saltar, quien no salta, es de Uruguay!"
After the final blow, Argentina 2 x 1 Uruguay. And a Brazilian that feels a little bit more Argentinean.
But no doubts on one thing: Pele remains the number one!
