Arg Pride 2014

by · Published · Updated

Argentina reaches a World Cup Final after 24yrs. Final #5 for Arg.
I’ve seen 3 finals since I was born: 1978 (win Vs Ned),1986 (win vs Ger) & 1990 (loss vs Ger).
The best thing about this one is having my two kids experiencing that same great feeling of reaching a Final. 
I said many times that as a country we are a waste of lost opportunities. Football and Sailing are just sports but makes Life more entertaining, and one thing that remains untouched for us in any endeavour is full passion for what we do , for good or bad results of course, we left all we have, this site is a humble display of that passion applied to Catsailing.

In Football just check/read what Mascherano & Zabaleta did yesterday and you’ll get a grasp of what that passion means.

    It could be even more cool if your children experiences that Argentina pays it's debt and get out of bankruptcy.

    But tough game with the Dutch and good luck in the finale – German will be hard to beat..

    Lars…, my children will work hard as my father and grand father and those before them did. Having corrupted or useless politicians is not an individual fault , just like you, my German friend, are not responsible for the Horrors made by your country Political ancestors? Right?

    Debt is one thing, killing millions… just a little diff…..
    So keep it in the Sport field , we are 1 to 1 in Finals. Cheers.. Lars.

    Of course it's not the fault of the individuals as well as being in the finals not is because of individuals. But it would still be a very impressive goal to reach.

    We won the Europeans in 1992 and that was a mind blowing experience for a little country, so that your country are playing for the world's is definitely a big task and very exciting.

    Good luck on Sunday and have fun.

    Best Lars
