After the surprising elimination of Brazil in the penalty shootout against Croatia, hundreds of residents of the City and from different parts of the suburbs came to the green space to watch the quarterfinal match: the stifling heat and the threat did not matter. of storm that marked the forecast.
“The team is made of ten, very well armed”highlighted Jonatan, from San Justo and 36 years old.
A few meters from him, sweating like the rest, Sergio, from Isidro Casanova, admitted that he “could not see” the game, due to the tense outcome. “Always suffering, but you win and we continue with the illusion. It has to happen: it’s this World Cup”he remarked in dialogue with NA.
Valentina -porteña-, Oriana -from Laferrere- and Lena -from Lomas de Zamora- got together to celebrate the birthday of the one from the south: “We were afraid of breaking the cabal by getting together here”the young women confessed.
Everything was joy and celebrations, until in the last play the Netherlands equalized and there more than one was scared. But the smiles returned when goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez began haranguing the fans at the Lusail Stadium ahead of the penalty shootout.
Each save by the man from Mar del Plata and each penalty converted by the Argentine players made their throats explode and once the triumph and the qualification to the semifinals of the World Cup known and unknown were achieved, hugs and jumps merged.
From there, almost like a caravan, many headed for the Obelisk, regardless of the clouds that were darkening more and more.
Men, women, children and adults sang the usual classics and new songs to encourage the Scaloneta, already getting wet from the storm that bathed the joy and relief of hundreds of people in the mythical Buenos Aires monument.
Like holy water sent by God -or by D10S-, the rain closed a day that will remain engraved in the history of all those people.
