A propósito del futbol. Suele decirse que lo más importante del futbol es su liturgia. Y debe ser cierto, porque ver un partido de futbol es bastante aburrido, además de que hay un exceso de faltas. Para ver un partido bonito hay que tragarse 99 aburridos. El futbol me interesa como campo sociológico y sobre todo por la utilización patriótica que de el suele hacerse

Argentina is not hated because it wins. It is hated because it treats every victory as proof that the universe has recognized its superiority.

Other national teams lift a trophy. Argentina absolves its own history.

The player thanks heaven. The fan humiliates the defeated. The politician appears to turn eleven athletes into a national argument. And any criticism becomes envy, colonialism, resentment, or an inability to understand Argentine greatness.

Perhaps that is the real source of the hostility: Argentina turned football into a religion, but reserved for itself the role of the chosen people.

Every religion needs heretics.

Argentina managed to create entire continents of them.
