Football

As a sport
• I’ve never been a big fan of football, however, I think it’s a very entertaining sport and I find it good not only for excercising but also
for having fun with your friends.
• It helps you learn to work as a team and to manage the ball only with your feet is an amazing ability.
• I like how it is well organised and easy to follow but I strongly dislike how the players get extremelly competitive and agressive to the point where they would hurt each other on purpose.

As a social phenomenon
• Though it can join people from different countries, it creates a massive competitiveness and rivality between fans of different clubs which can lead to big dissasters such as injuries, destruction of
public spaces and even death.
• Football plays a very important role in our cultural identity and some may even think that it identify us as a country.
• However, I don’t think it is the main thing we should be recognized for for we have amazing landscapes and a very vast culture which is worth admiring.

Life during the military government

What I know:
• It all began on the 24th of March of 1976 when the militaries brought
down the president María Estela Martínez de Perón. • The dictatorship called “Proceso de Reorganización Nacional”
consisted of State terrorism, people dissappearing and being killed, repression, destruction of books that didn’t agree with the military thought, etc.
• The mothers and grandmothers of the dissappeared people gathered and created an organisation called “Madres y Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo”.
• The period ended with the beginning of Raúl Alfonsin’s presidency
and the democracy that he established in the nation.

How I feel about the period:
• It was an awful time of suffering and misery in this country.
• The fact that this happened not that long ago makes me really sad and I hope it never happens again.
• As I’m very interested on the topic I’ll continue searching for information and I don’t think I’ll change my thoughts about this period.

The 1978 World Cup

Mundial de fútbol Argentina ’78. La película oficial.
• The film shows a recopilation of all the matches of the 1978 World Cup.
• Since the beginning it was known that Argentina was going to win the Cup.
• It just mentions the situation in Argentina at the beginning of the film and then the narrator talks only about football.
• It looks as if the horrible tortures the people were living at that time didn’t matter at all and the only important thing was the World Cup.

Mundial ’78. La historia paralela.
• In this film we can see what the reality of Argentina was in that period.
• I think here the World Cup is seen as a negative event because it is told by people who suffered and survived the punishments of the militaries.
• The World Cup was a strategy of the Argentinian government to give a positive image of the country to the world.

The resources I chose
• Argentina “won” the World Cup because the government had planned everything.
• The players of Perú admitted on interviews how they got paid to let Argentina win and the Argentinian players said they were ashamed of what happened.
• The image that Argentina intended to show was that of a country in which everything was alright, in which all the Argentinians lived happily in harmony.
• The cheerful shouts of the people watching the matches covered the screams of those being tortured.
