FIFA continues its love story with Argentina: new tribute video for the four months of the title in Qatar

It seems like yesterday, but it’s been four months since the end of Qatar World Cup 2022on December 18, with the achievement of the title by the Argentina national team which obtained its third star after 36 years of waiting.

The Albiceleste has passed less more in a World Cup that will remain memorized in the retina of every Argentine and Argentinean. Starting with the defeat against Saudi Arabia, which today is a historic fact, up to beating Mexico, Poland, Australia, Holland, Croatia, and the world champion in Russia in 2018 and always formidable, France.

The final was exciting, perhaps the most exciting in all of history. It was 3-3 after extra time and forced the title to be decided from the penalty spot. Then came the penalties, Dibu Martínez’s save on Coman, Tchouameni’s mistake and Gonzalo Montiel’s eternal walk which sealed the 4-2 and decreed the title of the Argentine national team.

It should be noted that the path to becoming world champion is not easy and requires hard teamwork. Having to be one of the top two in the group to qualify for the round of 16, and then be well prepared physically and mentally to play in the round of 16, is no small detail. Especially if we add the time factor, since everything has to be done in almost a month.

This is why FIFA has decided to produce an exciting video which, in addition to the consecration of the Argentine national team, also shows the journey traveled and the long wait since the 1990 World Cup final in Italy. US 94; the defeat against Holland in the quarter-finals of France 98; the illusion shattered in the first round of Korea-Japan 2002; penalties against Germany in 2006; Cape Town’s painful defeat by the Teutons at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa; the final lost in Brazil 2014; and the discomfort of Russia 2018, in the second round against France. Until the release and excitement in Lusail four months ago.

A video to consolidate the love story that FIFA and the Argentine Football Federation are experiencing these days, which has been confirmed as organizer of the Under 20 World Cup (the body took its headquarters from Indonesia).
