“With what I know now, I can’t say I’m proud of my victory. But I didn’t realise; most of us didn’t. We just played football.
In hindsight, we should never have played that World Cup. I strongly believe that.”
– Leopoldo Luque
1978.
Chairman of the World Cup organising committee, General Omar Actis, was assassinated before the competition had begun. Bright start, eh?
