Reflections on a Historic Football Match
Well, but that's how we Argentines are,
we always want more, we always ask for more, and I think if today we had
lost to England, there would have been people who would have come out to
say some bullshit
and we didn't give them the chance.
We were lucky enough to win it, to get through this too,
with what this match meant, because we knew that playing football we were
better than them,
but you know,
there's a lot at stake when it's a match of this magnitude and things happen
from history,
history is made in a match
without bringing it into a football match,
but anyway, it's still special because of everything it means, and we had to win it.

Bueno, pero nosotros los argentinos somos así, siempre queremos más, siempre pedimos más y creo que si hoy hubiésemos perdido contra Inglaterra hubiese habido gente que hubiese salido a decir alguna boludez y no le dimos la chance.
Tuvimos la suerte de ganarlo, de pasar esto también, con lo que significaba este partido porque nosotros sabíamos que con fútbol éramos mejores que ellos, pero viste, se juegan muchas cosas cuando es un partido de esta magnitud y que pasan cosas
de la historia, que pasa la historia en un partido sin traerlo a un partido de fútbol, pero bueno, no deja de ser especial por todo lo que significa y había que ganarlo.
