Emotion builds as our national team faces off against Argentina

It is impossible not to remember all the occasions in which these two teams have faced each other, such as the memorable elimination of Argentina in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, and the controversial "personalized marking" that Luis Reyna had on the global star Diego Armando Maradona, where "Diego" was simply "nullified" by the national player.

Disagreement between sports journalists sparks controversy

An incident this morning, involving sports journalists Omar Ruíz de Somocurcio and Ricardo Montoya, has sparked controversy regarding the existence of a personal marking on Lionel Messi in the upcoming match at La Bombonera. Both colleagues and friends disagreed as good professionals. While Montoya considers it illegal to have a personal marking on Messi, Ruíz de Somocurcio believes it to be a valid technique in the sport of football.

Ricardo Montoya commented on this anecdotal incident: "Yes, these things happen between friends who love each other. We have been friends for over 30 years, we love each other and will continue to love each other always."

It is worth noting that, like everything in football, there will always be disagreements and misunderstandings. However, there is also mutual respect and fair play, as evidenced by our colleagues at teledeportes. Regardless of personal marking or not, the important thing is for our national team to return with a good result and see the dream of being present in Russia 2018 come true.
