The battle between Argentina and the Netherlands was over, and everything that had accumulated in the run-up to it was discharged. And that was not a little. It was so big that the night’s hero, goalkeeper “Dibu” Martínez, even invented the art of bilingual X-rated Injurie, which he threw at a Dutchman. Literally: I trashed you twice (in English) with a homophobic insult (in Spanish). Martínez himself reported the incident to Argentine TV station TyC Sports, still full of adrenaline.
