The horror is in the form of World Cup

Today is a holiday in Argentina. There is a holiday far from it, is a sad day. Today marks 33 years in a military coup that left dead and wounded everywhere, besides the sense of justice that never comes. I was just 5 years and practically do not remember much. Everything I know I know self, I knew eventually I learned on my own since the infamous story to this day refuses to reveal.

I was grown and that marked the tragic anniversary, heard arguments and assumptions that always akin to World 78, held under a harsh and bloody military dictatorship, a situation that many said, ignoring. The throat of the people shouting in the stadium where Argentina played the Selection as clandestine detention centers, other voices were silent force.

Johan Cruyff, star of the national football team refused to attend the World Cup 78 in repudiating the political situation. Jorge Carrascosa, Banfield club side and the Argentine national team captain, took the same decision and resigned from the dream of every footballer to play a Cup World in your home and your people.

A contramano of complaints and abuse, and the ball rolled bits of paper fell from the stands in the main cities of Argentina while make-up to a painful reality that the evil military junta led by then General Jorge Rafael Videla, planned under the theme " Argentines are and human rights. "

It is said that the military junta was in charge of the arrangements in key match precisely those where the classification of Messi says was complicated. Even today, suspected of shipping wheat to Peru in exchange for a comprehensive win for the Argentine dream required as the looming presence in the locker room Videla visitors exerting pressure intimidating.

On the field, the National team led by an "uninformed" Cesar Luis Menotti, playing "outside? To build system issues wins over the dead that they shouted the goals from Kempes and Bertoni, but cried silent pain caused by the "death flights" and the prod of the murderers in uniform.

The selection celebrated his first major world title and the streets were filled with people who, flag in hand, ignored the cold and torments. Meanwhile the culture of "do not mess" imbibed and became flesh in the skin of Argentina society, forging an identity since dodging cowardly abuse, abuse, excesses and injustice, always looking the other way.

The evidence revealed in the Trial of the Juntas, did little and the pardons granted by former President addicted, reopened the wounds would never heal. Never again.
