The tradition, which for more than a century, proponents of a newly formed team, tired of the 'burden' of rival teams, headed Buenos Aires port on the Rio de la Plata to choose new colors, chance flag waved there Celadon of a Swedish vessel, ineffable designs of fate, today these colors identify the team more popular in Argentina.
History says that the 'pirates' British tried to seize Buenos Aires with cannon and sword tip. They failed. A century later, they brought a new weapon, a leather ball. And were imposed at the point of enthusiasm as well as the collective imagination permeate their English names: Racing Club, River Plate, Newell's, Banfield, Boca Juniors, All Boys . Whims of fate and a series of historical battles have been fed into the Argentinean hearts, feelings. As a result, they love the ball like no English but hate to His Majesty and their eligibility.
But, putting aside their rivalry, no more loving and devoted people of the game on this continent that the Argentine people, except the English on his. Some may wonder what Brazil what, there but not as much fervor: the Brazilian masters like anyone's game, but the Argentine feels like no other.
An Argentine lives between a barbecue, a dunk and a football game. Consciously or not that life is nothing but a succession of emotions, experiences and feelings, has been named their stadiums with evocative names: 'El Monumental', 'La Bombonera', 'The New Gasometer', 'Cylinder', 'The Fort', 'The Forest'.
The land of Argentina, has not only produced tangos, sambas sweet milk and is also able to cheer the football with the impudence of a 'dirty face' or the overwhelming momentum of a 'killer'. The people deep, rich in football folklore, is perhaps the most imaginative of these latitudes, especially when you have to make fun of opponents: but history always plays a whim, which sometimes comes as a pejorative, in time becomes a source of pride for the fans affected: 'rogues',' the lepers', 'hens',' red bugs', 'boring', 'crows'. But always will be remembered, at least in mine, evoking more impossible, graphics and sound as the 'Pincharrata' , will there be more memorable nickname, corrosive and also verbally exquisite?
On the other hand, if you've heard such strange names like these: Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata, Gimnasia y Tiro de Salta, JUJ Gymnastics uy, Tiro Federal de Rosario , even if they seem, are football teams, why the names?, God knows, ask an Argentinean.
So Argentine football, pure heart, tradition and legend. Fervor that borders on religion many times. Loyalty to the colors, chest in the most hard, even when the economy goes bad, the stadiums are rarely empty.
Unlike the major European leagues where teams prevail powerful guy that a team wins a title, is in itself a miracle, a sports accident. Which does not occur in these latitudes, where large that go a long in the doldrums and the championship can be for any of the small fish, which again and again is 'morfa' a large, even at home.
Any Sunday, in another part of the planet nobody would understand football as a mother heard her son Argentina: 'Do not ask me old, you see Leprosy plays today against the Hound. "
The violence in their stadiums, it is another thing. Unfortunately appellant.
