Our next destination in Argentina had to be Buenos Aires. We had heard so many interesting
things about the city and its inhabitants, that we could hardly await to get there.
We reached Buenos Aires 5 days before the soccer world championship quarter final
match between Argentina and Germany. The city was furore: Chorus of horns everywhere, the people discussed
furiously in the cafes and everyone was dressed in the colors of the argentinian flag.
Blue and white was a must in those days. Hats, t-shirts, flip-flops or bags - everything had
to be blue and white.
And every Argentinian knew it: " Vamos Argentina - We will win!"
Even the TV-ads: cleaning, washing, eating or sleeping - nothing could be done without soccer
anymore.
Every ad was larded with all the best scenes of the successful soccer years of Argentina.
