The Argentina national team won by 3 to 0 a Croatia in the semifinal of Qatar World Cup 2022 and obtained a ticket for the final, which will be played this Sunday from 12 at the Lusail stadium against the winner of the duel between France and Morocco.
It was a great match from start to finish Albicelestial. Lionel Messi dressed as a genius, goalscorer and assistant. And Julián Álvarez had his consecration match in this World Cup by scoring two goals and reaching four in this tournament.
This will be the sixth World Cup final for the Argentina national team in the World Cup. After the final whistle, people from all over the country came out to celebrate this new joy.
It was also celebrated in Calchín, a town of just over 3,000 inhabitants located 120 kilometers from the capital Córdoba. But in a special way.
Because Julián was born there on January 31, 2000. The Spider he is the bishop of this quiet and proud town, who has in him a sort of spiritual guide. The striker’s goals and victories are celebrated as their own by the Calchinenses.
Just 13,000 kilometers separate them from the Lusail stadium, where the Argentine scored two goals on Tuesday the 9th. People left their homes, got on motorbikes and cars with blue and white T-shirts, flags, hats and all possible clothing. And the caravan left…
An endless caravan that started from via Santa Teresa and continued up to the square of the same name, one of the focal points of the town. There, all together celebrated in unison.
The videos match Carlos Lozano, a neighbor of Calchín and a friend of Julián’s father, Gustavo, who contacted Clarín to show the celebration.
Neighbors hung Calchín flags with blue and white colors from their cars. A city that has gone from silence to being on everyone’s lips.
When Argentina beat the Netherlands in the quarter-finals on Friday, the situation was different. Power cuts prevented residents from seeing the start of the penalty shoot-out. However, the heartbreaking victory ended with all the people celebrating in the rain in the streets of the neighborhood.
This Tuesday, with Julián Álvarez’s brace against Croatia, the party took on a different colour. Will it happen again on Sunday?
