I grew up in a smaller town and learned to avoid the marauding thugs on the days of big matches :( and maybe thatβs what put me off the game in generalβ¦ but what you described sounds actually beautiful so I can see how it got you transfixed. Argentina usually do pretty well donβt they? When itβs the World Cup or the euros, I tend to pick an underdog and root for them to do well just for some amusement for myself because itβs so impossible to avoid football fever at those times!
