If you’ve had a catchy tune stuck in your head from the World Cup, it’s likely this one.
Heard in the streets of Doha, the stands of the Lusail Stadium and even in the Argentine dressing room, the 2003 hit ‘Muchachos’ by La Mosca has become the unofficial anthem of Argentina’s World Cup success. Originally bearing the title “Muchachos, esta noche me emborracho” – “Boys, tonight I will get drunk” – the song was rewritten by a teacher, Fernando Romero, to mention Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona and “the kids of las Malvinas.
When England and Argentina faced off in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals – a game now famed for Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ and ‘Goal of the Century’ – it was the first time they had met in a sporting arena since the Falklands War. Many of the players had, at least on the Argentine side, friends or relatives who had been conscripted, maybe even lost their life.
