The presence of a small group of Arab women was even registered, who assured that they could not “believe” the final result in favor of their selection.
In front of an 18 meter long screen, some 11,000 people gathered at the seeber square to witness the debut of the team directed by Lionel Scaloni, according to Télam sources from the Buenos aires city.
With each start of Lionel Messi or free kick shot, the vuvuzelas sounded and the audience erupted in applause that ended in shouts of anger in front of the goal that everyone expected to tie, but it did not come.
“We are sad about the defeat, but we played well. We had them against the goal,” Gabriel Torres assured Télam, who had arrived with his son Thiago from Balvanera.
“It did not occur because of the offsides that he charged us. Many goals disallowed, but there is still a long way to go. Now to put everything against Mexico,” said the man who wore a white and light blue cap and had the Argentine flag painted on his cheeks.
“I’m afraid of what happens with Mexico. If this happened to us with Saudi Arabia, I don’t want to imagine it with Mexico,” Thiago, 10, was concerned.
Earlier, when Argentina was still winning 1-0, the mood was completely different: “Today we won for sure,” Camila, 22, from Peru, had told this agency.
The young woman was accompanied by her dog Pisco, only three months old, who was wearing the National Team shirt on his brown back, and by his friend Felipe, 21, who, despite being from Brazil, was wearing Messi’s shirt. : “We cheered for Argentina and I put on my shirt to be in good weather,” he said.
Meanwhile, this morning in the City it was also possible to observe how people followed the game on their cell phones on public transport as they traveled to their workplaces.
On the Miter Line train that runs the Retiro-Tigre route, there was applause and shouts of “Let’s still go” when Messi opened the scoring with a penalty goal for Argentina.
“At times it is checked, my signal goes away, but at least it let me see the goal,” Sandra Sosa, 45, who was traveling on the train watching the game on her phone, told Télam.
And he concluded: “Hopefully he will go very far and give this World Cup to Lionel, who is his last.”
