I was 23 years old in the summer of 1978. I remember watching this Final. How did Holland not win this match ? When Nanninga, with a beauty of a header, thudded the ball into the back of the net for the equalizer, I was certain Holland would win. It wasn't to be. Sadly Dirk Nanninga died on July 21st, 2015 aged 66.
I am from England, I was 13 in 1978 ... I remember the delay of SEVEN MINUTES by the Argentina, not coming out together with Holland. That in itself breaks the assumed norm of two teams coming out together in a Final Match?. Rene Van Der Kerkhoff played all through the World Cup Finals with that bandage/strapping on, so why was it an issue in the last game?. Evan as a 13 year old It was obvious to me that Argentina tried anything to unsettle Holland before that final ..... They succeeded!.
+David Cummings What about the match before the one against Holland ? The last round of that gropu phase was scheduled to occur simultaneously, but Argentina postponed their match against Peru to the day after, so they could know exactl how many goals they would have to score to finish before Brazil in goal difference criterium. To add insult to injury, they bribed Peru to concede nothing less than 6 goals. Disgusting.
Yes your right, however one detail to mention, the Argentina v Peru match was later on in the day - Argentinean (time zone) compared to the other game.
+PinkasBrown44 also it was said that they put Brazil in the Mar del Plata group as it was a seaside stadium and it is alleged that the groundsmen sprayed it with salt water to stop Brazil playing on it and it worked as the pitch cut up so badly
the dutch nearly did not even go to the world cup as in holland evertyone was anti argentina due to the junta it was said that they were glad to have lost so they were spared shaking hands with the argentine dictator..and they did not collect their medals or stay for the banquet they fflew home
Interesting point of view, as argentinian I can feel the deep contradictions between my hate for the Junta and my love for the national team. I always thought that if Cruyff would've played that 1978 cup... I don't know...
As an Irishman, I can say many in my land have always admired the classy football, passion, support, sexy ladies, football kits,, and fervour your country produces. I am jealous. Higuain cost me a lot of money in recent years the bollix, but i love Argentina and always will
Kempes second goal sort of goes in the same part of the goal that Resenbrink’s shot should have done instead of hitting the post. I remember seeing a picture in a book once If poor old Resenbrink laying flat on his back at the end of normal time. Probably felt like the unluckiest person on Earth.
As an Argentinian I can tell you, no one here is happy or proud about winning that world cup. At that moment we were under a dictatorship that murdered almost 30.000 people, and that world cup was a distraction the dictators made so the people didn't pay attention on the atrocities they were doing
Julker Nyne Even though they fixed the match against Peru , but yeah definitely played fair. If you watched the final the Argentines were playing MMA and were getting away with it . Despite being the 70s , some of the tackles were red card even back then .
Raffaele Colucci I can say for many countries, especially the USA. Soccer/Football is quickly encompassing the US with it's influence and a World Cup finals appearance or victory would certainly spark the passion for the sport.
thegeekfanatic I understand your point on usa having a growing support of football but they arent going to win anytime soon maybe quarters at best but the dutch could win it any year
Holland traditionally have had great flair in attack, Germany the exact opposite, nothing fancy, ruthless percentage football. The USA are becoming a bit like Germany oddly, watching their copa stuff this year they really have improved a lot actually
My parents have a book at home with details and photos about the 78 world cup. As a young kid in the 80ies i read this book and since then i admire the dutch team.
Nigel de Jong and Van Bommel were a tad aggressive, yes. Funny how one tournament can change the reputation of a football nation with having a history of non-physical, technically perfect players with an attacking style of play :') I don't know what you're referring to in '78? I think it is the Argentinian footballers who have a reputation of being cheating lumberjacks.
The English created the game, the Dutch perfected it, the Brazilians have fun with it, the Argentinians give birth to talent and the Germans win World Cups.
You miss one minor detail about that World Cup and that final. Argentina was under a military dictorship that kidnapped, violeted and murdered 30,000 people. And also appropriate their children and change their identities. Is funny how despite of the global coverage of this crimes taking place, FIFA still gave the organization of a World Cup to a country in such a situation. The dutch team march with the Madres de Plaza de Mayo and help to bring attention to the crimes the military goberment was perpetrating. Respect and thanks to them
newly discovered documents, etc. have surfaced including a few of the "desaparecidos" quite alive, that it was more like 6000 not 30000 folks disappered, of which most were commies and anarchists who had placed bombs and killed numerous innocent civilians in Argentina.
6000 would still be to much... As I'm fluent in spanish I tried to search for your documents, haven't found anything contribuiting to your claim, but nice describtions about cases like Elisabeth käsemann or klaus zieschank.
I think that if Holland had won that final, they may not have returned home alive... look what happened when they drove to the stadium where the final would take place... very intimidating...
Never in a million years, will they lay their hands on that precious trophy, UNTIL they change their attitude, and start behaving like a REAL civilized national soccer team should be.
Many teams has suffer from bad arbitral decisions. Germany in 1966, England in 1986, Argentina in 1990. But only the argentinians cry and claim for “justice“ after 30 years, despite the fact that they have won games and even tournaments cheating. And by the other hand you have to be able understanding the difference between a mistake by the referee like in 1966, 1986 (whit the hand of Maradona) or 1990 and in the other hand games fixed or even tournaments fixed like the one in 1934 or this one in 1978. The game between Argentina and Perú and the 6-0 win its at least very controversial and the information refering to a fixed result by the Argentina and Perú Governments exist.
Jose Miguel : Better correct yourself. We Argentinians NEVER CHEAT. Maradona's '' Hand of God '' goal, was ACCIDENTAL, not done deliberately. Our 6-0 win against Peru in Rosario, was legitimate and totally LEGAL. We completely outplayed them throughout the entire match and that is the REAL REASON, why Peru were systematically SLAUGHTERED, that glorious evening in June of 1978.
Argentina es el peor campeón y Maradona el mas tramposo. Más eso no quita que son un gran equipo y jugador, y son mejores y menos tramposos hoy en día. Maradona uso drogas, le dio una bebida para empeorar sus reflejos al portero de Italia, y metió la mano de Dios a propósito.
What about Uruguay vs Germany when the German team cheated EVEN saving a goal with their hands and the referee didn't do anything, and Uruguay in 2010 vs Ghana and Holland, they were all bought
to be fair our victory in 1934 was also called into question many times, but notice how we still dont know, when its clearly obvious about all the other cases like calciopoli. that tells me that this isnt true
Most of the world knows this World Cup was full of corruption. Most of the world wanted Holland desperately to win this game. Didn’t help having an Italian Latin referee, plus Holland had just knocked Italy out of the competition.
@@messiisapig2478 78 was disgraceful, but 2022? Keep crying about Portugal, as if they were a thread to Argentina's title. If I rigged the world cup I would have gotten rid of France or Morocco cause they were better...
The First Reich of Rome : The World Cups of 1990 and 2014, were nothing more than an INTERNATIONAL DISGRACE. Both tournaments were fixed by the use of CORRUPT OFFICIALS in the FINAL. ARGENTINA'78 was the GREATEST most BEAUTIFUL tournament ever staged by my fellow countrymen. In my opinion, ARGENTINA should have hosted the 2014 tournament instead of BRAZIL. At least in my country, the officials would have been assassinated instantly, the moment that one of them, deliberately screwed our team, specially in the World Cup Final.
The First Reich of Rome : Had the 2014 World Cup Final between Argentina and Germany, being played at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, instead of the Maracana in Rio, Italian linesman Renato Faverani would have been brutally murdered by the local Argentinian soccer fans, the minute that the screwballed bastard raised the flag to declare Higuain offside after scoring the goal that would have given our boys, an undisputed 3rd World Cup title.
Argentina is also playing well, and there are many other teams in the world that could give a surprise, Holland for starters, I know Italy are not at their best shape, but they always give the Germans huge headaches, so I wouldn't narrow the outcome to simply just 2 teams.
Xgeorge Man Very different to dictatorships, kidnapping, threatening world level players and food aid scandals. I know there have been some dirty tactics in world cups (yes Brazil / France was a farce) but still noting compared with Argentina in 78. That’s my most blatantly abuse of a World Cup stage in 99% of what you could mention.
I don't watch soccer that much but I realized Fifa is corrupted based on Haiti vs Mexico gold cup semi final. This is just fixed . Fake penalty given to Mexico at the last minutes . Even the Mexican players were shocked . Some were confused and thought that they were offside or a free kick outside of the box was gonna be given .. they were not proud of the win .
Now you guys know why my You Tube username, afa78! Argentina's first world cup title victory and what really put them in the spotlight as a powerhouse in football.
Michael Barros 1930, 1934, 1938, The referees of the 2002 world cup favored brazil by canceling a belgica goal that should not have been canceled and against turkey they charged a penalty for brazil outside the area, in 1990 italy scored the goal against argentina in offsive
Michael Barros : The explanation to your comment, is perfectly simple: The host nation, was far more STRONGER than the rest of the other national participating teams. The players excel a lot better playing AT HOME, than when they compete elsewhere. URUGUAY' 30, ITALIA' 34 and WEST GERMANY' 74, were also fine examples of those other host countries, as well.
VIVA ARGENTINA vamo vamo ARGENTINA vamo vamo a ganar que esta Banda quilombera no te deja alentar el equipo esta en la cancha el partido ya empezó el estadio estremece cada vez que la ARGENTINA hace un goool ARGENTINA forever champions of the world
If I see this again, the Peru issue (delay and bribe), for which reason FIFA should give the world cup 1978 to Holland, at least on paper, the 30-50 thousand people thrown out of planes alive above the Atlantic junta in power, doing everything to make life as impossible as possible for Holland, than taking into account all the intimidating factors, the paper, the boiling stadium with people not thrown out of airplanes because of having money enough to be complaining about the system, the junta, Videla, and being able to pay the entrance ticket, without any sense of guild or shame for all the injustice, military coup and murdering going on... than that 7 minutes delay thing, than the incident and that fake story of the unforgivably lying player in this clip about the arm of vd Kerkhof... Than I can even now still have my doubts about our Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, mind you regent, and thus head of state (!), in case of our king Willem-Alexander dies before the heir to the thrown, their daughter Amalia, princess of Orange, is 18... As Queen Maxima is the daughter of the next important person in the murderous regime of dictator Videla, mister Zorreguieta, from the ministry of (Argentina's main income!) agriculture! (meat and soja). I was 10 years old watching this "game" and will never forget or forgive this injustice! It's hardwired injustice imprinted in me as a boy of 10!!! SHAME ON ARGENTINA, they should give the worldcup to Holland, because it's proven now it doesn't belong to them! And this is my opinion! Should I have been Argentinian in 1978 and having said this openly I would have been dropped over the Atlantic and you wouldn't have read this comment coming right out my heart. It STILL hurts! It looks like FIFA is actually censoring this comment as I just posted it and it was already removed!!! Gives you to think of both Argentina those days and FIFA these days!!!
What about Brasil. This is there home turf one.Two they dominated the confed cup against Italy world champions Spain and many other nation. Don't forget they have Neymar and Kaka is expected to return to the Brazilian team before 2014 world cup. Kaka was player of the year in 2007
Americano de Campos 1934, 2002 was shady cause they favored Korea but they lost eventually and the rightful winners won it so it's not as bad as 1978 and 1934. I mean Argentina aren't known for fair play lol.
+Jonathan Pinedo Yes, the Dutch team bravely refused to come out to receive their runners-up medals after the game. What decent person wants to shake hands with a murderous thug like that? FIFA were not to know that the "Dirty War" would happen as it did when they awarded the World Cup to Argentina but South America as a whole had a reputation for military dictatorships in the 1970's and maybe they should not have given the tournament to Argentina in the first place. In 2018 we have the prospect of Putin (!!!) handing out the trophy and medals!!! Yuk!!! Another own goal by FIFA...
Typical English complaint, thru the ages they have enslaved other cultures, pillaged their patrimony,. and they come out as being democracy crusaders, the same can be said of the Dutch that conquered so many countries and in modern times they appear wholesome. W.Cup 1966, practically given on a silver platter to England, what a shame.
Looking back on Argentina's first title! Shameful. I wouldn't say the final was match fixed, but being hosts, under a dictatorship, just like Italy 34 long ago, it's almost obvious there was a favourite. People should talk about the Peru game more though, now that's a suspicious game.
Because they had no place in the final. They had to win by 4 goals to reach it to Peru's best national team in history and Videla, the dictator, entered the dressing room of Peru and told them what they had to do... Peru's starting line up was changed and sent to the bench and they allowed 6 goals .... that is how.
@@joshuastam7704 Innocent until proven guilty. The captain of the Peruvian team and various Peru players have denied any bribery. And if you think Argentina vs Peru was rigged, West Germany vs Austria was the most blatantly rigged match of all time. Argentina were just that much better than Peru, and Peru were simply too tired and not accustomed to so much gametime.
@@aryanmalik4811I don't understand Brazil may beat Peru , Poland may beat them twice (78,82) , Brazil may concede 7 goals but Peru can't receive 6 goals from Argentina What kind of Baised thing it ?? The same Peru of same WC faced host after being destroyed by Brazil and Poland . So why so hype for Peru ??
Ludolf von Fischbock : Argentina DID NOT CHEAT in 1978, neither did England in 66, nor Italy in 34 and 38. The only one who cheated was Deutschland in 1990, by hiring a bogus and fully incompetent corrupt referee from Mexico. Not to mention, 2014 included.
Homie Turtle in case you don't know, the Italians official lobbying FIFA at the time, telling them that mussolini will execute every single member of the Italian national team in case they don't win the world cup
corrupted world cup with a weak winner. Same as Qatar 2022. In both cases Argentina took advantage of it. 5 penalties. All of them were fake What a joke
Argentina shouldn't even BE ON THE FINAL. They stole it's place in it from Brazil by corrupting the Peruvian goalkeeper. WHO WAS ARGENTINIAN IN REALITY even.
you see the big difference, back in the days, great players, such as mario kempes, passeralla, osvaldo ardilles, and later Diego Maradona (1982,1986) they dont get protected by referees, hard tackles, deadly flying dangeruous, break legging tackles, we call it "african tackles", ....today "great players" such as messi, ronaldo they are save from this dangeruous break legging tackles,....)
gianni sampo : The dutch has the deplorable reputation of beating up their opponents, by brutalizing them physically as displayed during the 1978 World Cup Final, against host nation Argentina were they committed a then record 50 serious fouls against our boys, and in 2010 to our spanish brothers, with an astonishing 98 fouls inflicted during that infamous South African Final. No wonder that when they started the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, they began to physically assault the helpless spaniards, as half of the defending World Champions, were carried off the field on stretchers. But it wasn't only Spain. Australia and Mexico, both suffered that same, barbaric butchering. It was a good thing, that those savage brutes, failed to qualify for both Euro' 2016, and Russia' 2018. Otherwise, instead of a soccer tournament, there would have been nothing but violent bloodshed, out there on that grassy field.
Mythical Toes : Just as was the case in 1990 and 2014, this time it is FIFA, who deliberately screwed my boys, by making sure that we would not go beyond the round-of-16.
If FIFA had it's own channel in cable, and shows these types of videos, I would only watch that channel.
Yaa me too ...
Fascinating, never knew this story about Van De Kerkof's cast, remember those two Dutch teams of 74' & 78' vividly.

The best stadium of the world: El Monumental - River Plate
Max Power : I agree with you, bro.
LOL
So back then, Argentina's flag didn't have a star?
it always had a star, there was a moment when it didn't but that was around the era we declared independence
Complaining against Van isn't cheating. Haters always gonna say that.
haha ossi ardilles was smoking 2 packs a day when they won in '78!
Argentina is also playing well, and there are many other teams in the world that could give a surprise, Holland for starters, I know Italy are not at their best shape, but they always give the Germans huge headaches, so I wouldn't narrow the outcome to simply just 2 teams.
it will either be Germany or Argentina that wins the world cup next year at Brazil 2014
Argentina have 0 fair world cup titles
Now they finally have a fair title 😅
The most rigged , fixed, and corrupt tournament in all sports history
Ardillez barullo rigged? I don’t know about that...
MemezzyStudio Yes. 78 -The most corrupt World Cup of all time.
@@jammin1881 what about 2002 or even 1934 when Italy paid it's way to the trophy ?
Xgeorge Man
Very different to dictatorships, kidnapping, threatening world level players and food aid scandals.
I know there have been some dirty tactics in world cups (yes Brazil / France was a farce) but still noting compared with Argentina in 78.
That’s my most blatantly abuse of a World Cup stage in 99% of what you could mention.
I don't watch soccer that much but I realized Fifa is corrupted based on Haiti vs Mexico gold cup semi final. This is just fixed . Fake penalty given to Mexico at the last minutes . Even the Mexican players were shocked . Some were confused and thought that they were offside or a free kick outside of the box was gonna be given .. they were not proud of the win .
Now you guys know why my You Tube username, afa78! Argentina's first world cup title victory and what really put them in the spotlight as a powerhouse in football.
Interpreted as a "lack of fair play by the Argentine's"
Laughing my tits off.
Argentina...... fair play!!!
Hahahahaha
Holland hit the post in the last minute of regular time.
Joseph Romic o
I really don't believe that Argentina weren't trying to make a huge fuss with the cast thing.
I Love Argentina
megabeastlybros : I was born there on Easter Sunday, April' 1961 in the
magnificent capital city of Buenos Aires.
FIFA MAFFIA!
niklas : IN WHAT WAY ?
Won by the first time by the host nation in seemingly controversial final matches.
Sean Taylor : There was nothing CONTROVERSIAL, about the 1978 World
Cup Finals. We won 5 of the 7 games, FAIR and SQUARE.
@@georgevila2777 more like 2 or 3 out of 7
Argentina 1978, England 1966, France 1998,.... tell me the similarities of those competitions. Don't CHEAT.
Louis Co : Again Peru did NOT LOSE intentionally to my Argentina
squad in 1978. We completely OUTPLAYED them, and were simply OUT OF GAS.
Louis Co in the World Cup Spain 1982, Poland scored 5 goals against Peru and eliminated it in the first round, that was not fixed?
Michael Barros 1930, 1934, 1938, The referees of the 2002 world cup favored brazil by canceling a belgica goal that should not have been canceled and against turkey they charged a penalty for brazil outside the area, in 1990 italy scored the goal against argentina in offsive
Michael Barros : The explanation to your comment, is perfectly simple:
The host nation, was far more STRONGER than the rest of the other national participating teams. The players excel a lot better playing AT HOME, than when they compete elsewhere.
URUGUAY' 30, ITALIA' 34 and WEST GERMANY' 74, were also fine examples of those other host countries, as well.
Louis Co you can kiss my ass ua-cam.com/video/itXmHXle4dA/v-deo.html

It takes two to tango.
If I see this again, the Peru issue (delay and bribe), for which reason FIFA should give the world cup 1978 to Holland, at least on paper, the 30-50 thousand people thrown out of planes alive above the Atlantic junta in power, doing everything to make life as impossible as possible for Holland, than taking into account all the intimidating factors, the paper, the boiling stadium with people not thrown out of airplanes because of having money enough to be complaining about the system, the junta, Videla, and being able to pay the entrance ticket, without any sense of guild or shame for all the injustice, military coup and murdering going on... than that 7 minutes delay thing, than the incident and that fake story of the unforgivably lying player in this clip about the arm of vd Kerkhof...
Than I can even now still have my doubts about our Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, mind you regent, and thus head of state (!), in case of our king Willem-Alexander dies before the heir to the thrown, their daughter Amalia, princess of Orange, is 18... As Queen Maxima is the daughter of the next important person in the murderous regime of dictator Videla, mister Zorreguieta, from the ministry of (Argentina's main income!) agriculture! (meat and soja).
I was 10 years old watching this "game" and will never forget or forgive this injustice! It's hardwired injustice imprinted in me as a boy of 10!!! SHAME ON ARGENTINA, they should give the worldcup to Holland, because it's proven now it doesn't belong to them! And this is my opinion! Should I have been Argentinian in 1978 and having said this openly I would have been dropped over the Atlantic and you wouldn't have read this comment coming right out my heart. It STILL hurts!
It looks like FIFA is actually censoring this comment as I just posted it and it was already removed!!! Gives you to think of both Argentina those days and FIFA these days!!!
The Argentinians are so Italian. Oh wait! Hahaha
Only if they could get world class defenders.
Shame the Netherlands lost the final. They deserved to win it!
Argentina against Peru was one of the most blatent acts of bribery ever seen.
Shameful!
Yet the Argentines are proud of it......
And again in 2022 the fox is I. For Argentina they can only win by cheating
What about Brasil. This is there home turf one.Two they dominated the confed cup against Italy world champions Spain and many other nation. Don't forget they have Neymar and Kaka is expected to return to the Brazilian team before 2014 world cup. Kaka was player of the year in 2007
The most shady World Cup ever!!!!
Americano de Campos After 2002 of course
What about the world cup of 1934 in Italy???
you weren't alive at that time, or aren't rational enough to complain about it now. Just get over it.
Americano de Campos 1934, 2002 was shady cause they favored Korea but they lost eventually and the rightful winners won it so it's not as bad as 1978 and 1934. I mean Argentina aren't known for fair play lol.
1990 World Cup was fixed and the worst in history!
Too bad the Dutch did not play this final with Cruijff and van Hanegem. The result would be different.
Absolutely correct
1978 almost 30 years ago?? well this video is old lol
rip the referee
Worst World Cup Ever, Videla won this in his own way
+Jonathan Pinedo jajajajaj just accept the defate we were the best go on crying nothing change we won the cup
Franco Didomenico
Videla won that world cup no one more, u sucked always, like in 1974 and 1982 when Brazil owned u
+Jonathan Pinedo Yes, the Dutch team bravely refused to come out to receive their runners-up medals after the game. What decent person wants to shake hands with a murderous thug like that? FIFA were not to know that the "Dirty War" would happen as it did when they awarded the World Cup to Argentina but South America as a whole had a reputation for military dictatorships in the 1970's and maybe they should not have given the tournament to Argentina in the first place. In 2018 we have the prospect of Putin (!!!) handing out the trophy and medals!!! Yuk!!! Another own goal by FIFA...
Typical English complaint, thru the ages they have enslaved other cultures, pillaged their patrimony,. and they come out as being democracy crusaders, the same can be said of the Dutch that conquered so many countries and in modern times they appear wholesome. W.Cup 1966, practically given on a silver platter to England, what a shame.
Campeones!
does anyone know the calming song that starts in the beginning when the two men are walking?
it was a lack of fairplay... heavy ... XD
ARGENTINA forever
Joe Stoned gay
I hope Canada can at least get to the round of 16 in 2026
Looking back on Argentina's first title! Shameful. I wouldn't say the final was match fixed, but being hosts, under a dictatorship, just like Italy 34 long ago, it's almost obvious there was a favourite. People should talk about the Peru game more though, now that's a suspicious game.

I don't understand how people believe that Argentina cheated. It was a CLEAR Win, no bad referee calls, no bs.
Dracule : It was indeed, a CLEAR CUT win.
@@georgevila2777 was it?
Because they had no place in the final. They had to win by 4 goals to reach it to Peru's best national team in history and Videla, the dictator, entered the dressing room of Peru and told them what they had to do... Peru's starting line up was changed and sent to the bench and they allowed 6 goals .... that is how.
@@joshuastam7704 Innocent until proven guilty. The captain of the Peruvian team and various Peru players have denied any bribery. And if you think Argentina vs Peru was rigged, West Germany vs Austria was the most blatantly rigged match of all time. Argentina were just that much better than Peru, and Peru were simply too tired and not accustomed to so much gametime.
@@aryanmalik4811I don't understand Brazil may beat Peru , Poland may beat them twice (78,82) , Brazil may concede 7 goals but Peru can't receive 6 goals from Argentina
What kind of Baised thing it ??
The same Peru of same WC faced host after being destroyed by Brazil and Poland .
So why so hype for Peru ??
Subtítuloooooos!!!!!!!!!!! La FIFA tiene que representar todos los idiomas.
Aprende ingles
england cheated in 1966, italy in 1934,38, Deutschland in 1990,
argentina 1978
+Mobile gaming 284 mussolini
Ludolf von Fischbock : Argentina DID NOT CHEAT in 1978, neither did England in 66, nor Italy in 34 and 38. The only one who cheated was Deutschland in 1990, by hiring a bogus and fully incompetent corrupt referee from Mexico. Not to mention, 2014 included.
I recognize that germany cheat in 1990 against argentina, but argentina cheated in 1978, and england in 66 and italy with mussolini in 34,38
Homie Turtle in case you don't know, the Italians official lobbying FIFA at the time, telling them that mussolini will execute every single member of the Italian national team in case they don't win the world cup
George Vila I laugh so hard when somebody said Italy didn't cheat in 34 & 38
I love sarcasm.
It will either be Germany or Argentina that wins the world cup next year at Brazil 2014.

well, when argentina be better than brazil you can love argentina
what can you expect from Argentinians? you really have to look hard to find anything decent about their football and fair-play.
complains the English who was beaten by Iceland hahahah

Nikolan : You cancer - infested parasite.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spain will Win again.... not sure if it will be in Brasil ....
david gil they were eliminated first round 😂😂😂
This world cup should be removed from Argentina and given to the Netherlands or vacated. It was not won through intimidation and the military.
That's called knowing the rules gentlemen ! Is that cheating ???
2014
corrupted world cup with a weak winner. Same as Qatar 2022. In both cases Argentina took advantage of it.
5 penalties. All of them were fake
What a joke
Pessinalty the goat
should put subtitles in spanish. the people of argentina also see these videos.
Brasil!
Felt like clickbait
like this *
Also Argentina Was Almost to win the world cup because in the second half Argentina Scored an Offside goal
Argentina shouldn't even BE ON THE FINAL. They stole it's place in it from Brazil by corrupting the Peruvian goalkeeper. WHO WAS ARGENTINIAN IN REALITY even.
Sorry but World Cup wins like England's 1966 and Argentina's 1978 will never be possible again. VAR and worldwide media coverage came to stay.
right... se what just happened in Qatar.
you see the big difference, back in the days, great players, such as mario kempes, passeralla, osvaldo ardilles, and later Diego Maradona (1982,1986) they dont get protected by referees, hard tackles, deadly flying dangeruous, break legging tackles, we call it "african tackles", ....today "great players" such as messi, ronaldo they are save from this dangeruous break legging tackles,....)
*leg-breaking
They'll get it in 2018, oh wait...
Haneef Amusat : They will not be in RUSSIA' 2018, because the orange
animals failed to qualify. GOD has punished them.
why are u so mad about the dutch team? i see u in almost every comment
gianni sampo : The dutch has the deplorable reputation of beating up their opponents, by brutalizing them physically as displayed during the 1978 World Cup Final, against host nation Argentina were they committed a then record 50 serious fouls against our boys, and in 2010 to our spanish brothers, with an astonishing 98 fouls inflicted during that infamous South African Final.
No wonder that when they started the 2014 World Cup in Brazil,
they began to physically assault the helpless spaniards, as half of the defending World Champions, were carried off the field on stretchers. But it wasn't only Spain. Australia and Mexico, both suffered that same, barbaric butchering. It was a good thing, that those savage brutes, failed to qualify for both Euro' 2016, and Russia' 2018. Otherwise, instead of a soccer tournament, there would have been nothing but violent bloodshed, out there on that grassy field.
George Vila argentina out last night😂😂😂😂
Mythical Toes : Just as was the case in 1990 and 2014, this time it is FIFA, who deliberately screwed my boys, by making sure that we would not go beyond the round-of-16.
when will the dutch also win a world cup?
NEVER. THEY LOST IT 3 TIMES. GOOD FOR THEM.
in the future we wil win but not any time soon.
Michael Ola : I SAID NEVER !
ARGENTINA 1978 1986**
1 RadicalDreamer : ADD 1990 AND 2014 TO THAT LIST, AS WELL.
