The history of hate (in football) between Argentina and England.
Pay attention that today I am going to tell you why Argentina and England hate each other, and what happened when they met in war and football.
The story begins in 1966 when England organized their World Cup and being the creators of football they felt compelled to win it.
But fate wanted them to be on the road with Argentina and created a rather curious rivalry because ...
Most of the rivalries in football are with neighboring countries, but there is one word that describes the duels between them: War.
The World Cup took a tenor all the time and that was not to hurt England but sometimes it was very shameless and that day everything exploded.
The German referee Rudolf Kreitlen only sanctioned the faults of the Argentines, the English began to take advantage of that ...
At the 36th minute the referee scored a foul against Argentina and his captain Antonio Rattin ran to claim him and the referee expelled him.
But there were no cards, and Rattin assured that he did not understand that he was expelled, The referee Rattin insulted him, the game stopped.
Rattin asked for an interpreter or refused to leave the field, when the translator left, the Argentine exploded ..
The public shouted to them "Animals", "animals" Rattin when leaving the field took an English flag and it crumpled, the stage was inflamed.
At minute 78, England scored in offside and at the end of the game the Argentine coach ran to the field to shout everything to the judge.
The English were happy and they mocked the Argentineans, later it was discovered that Rattin had not only crumpled the English flag ..
He had wiped his nose with his hand and his hand with the flag, and then he went to sit on the queen's carpet.
The furious English coach ran to the field to prevent his team from exchanging shirts with the Argentines.
And now we go to the year of 1982 when war and football mixed and more actors enter the story.
Specify me, Chile, and here another rivalry is born, since Argentina one day decided to recover the Malvinas Islands by force.
Argentina invaded the Malvinas, most of the countries of South America joined the Argentine cause, even Peru helped them, but Chile did not.
Chile supported the English and the Argentines could never represent that.
Chile, more than a betrayal, saw its interests because if Argentina recovered the Malvinas, it would soon go through the territories that ...
The two nations dispute until today, so supporting the English was logical for Chile, Argentina did not see it that way and less when.
Argentina lost the war, they had to leave the Falklands, the UN to this day does not give a definitive ruling but the damage was...
Fact, to this day Argentines and Chileans hate each other and use football to attack without destroying themselves.
Two years later, fate allowed Argentina and England to meet again in a world cup.
You can imagine how the mood was, the Falklands conflict had little time and the war began again in Mexico 86.
Maradona had a debt and is that the coach of Argentina in the 78 World Cup, Cesar Luis Menotti left him out of that world.
Maradona spoke about Menotti's pests but 4 years after he was taken to a World Cup, he did not do anything, so the 86th had to be his moment.
Diego scored a goal with the hand that everyone saw, the stadium, the English, the Argentines, except the referee.
The English again were furious, but were willing to continue dominating the Argentines in everything.
And then Diego appeared, who left the English half team and scored the goal of the century.
After the match the English coach said.
"The first one that got us was cheated, but the second one that got us was worth two."
It would be a little over 10 years until both countries met again in France 1998.
And we reached the end of the story and our protagonist will be David Beckham.
Beckham had a duel with Diego Simeone throughout the game, Simeone so desperate that Beckham kicked him slightly after a foul ...
Simeone exaggerated the blow and David Beckham was sent off, the match ended 2-2 and they went to penalties and Argentina won it there.
The English newspapers praised their players for holding the game with 10 men. But David Beckham was destroyed.
"10 lions and a stupid boy" the newspapers said.
Depressed Beckham thought about retiring from football.
But 3 years later he learned that Argentina would be England's rival in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.
The world was waiting, Beckham arrived at his best and willing to take revenge on the Argentines but 7 weeks before the World Cup ...
David Beckham sustained an injury after a strong entry by Aldo Duscher who clearly wanted to hurt him
And guess where Aldo was from?
From Argentina and the Argentine newspapers mocked the misfortune of the English captain.
Imagine the degree of rivalry that the ...
Own Queen Elizabeth II sent her doctor to attend to Beckham and the British Prime Minister declared his concern for the English captain.
And the result of the doctor arrived: with a lot, but good luck Beckham would be ready to play in 8 weeks, the world cup started in 7.
And the day of the awaited game arrived, everyone wanted to know the end of the telenovela.
How they always fought each ball with hate.
Beckham was able to play but he was not 100%, it was more his desire for revenge that motivated him.
And at 44 the referee called a penalty in favor of ...
England.
And David Beckham asked to collect the shot.
Everything painted to what Beckham could take revenge for everything he experienced because of Argentina for 4 years he approached the ball, shot hard and ..
He scored the only goal of the match, which ultimately eliminated Argentina from the World Cup.
And so, England advanced, Argentina home and the world to wait with emotion that someday both teams will meet again.
End.
