Description
Summary:This article deals with the complicated coexistence of the Argentine obsession with football and the dictatorial situation when the World Cup was played in 1978. At that time the relationship between love of football and the nationalist ideology of the military Junta was obvious. The result of this conflict is moral ambivalence about the final victory of the Argentine national team, something that even now is a source of argument as to whether the attitudes shown over a quarter of a century ago were right or wrong.
