In Argentina, the song 'Muchachos, Ahora Nos Volvimos A Ilusionar' has become the anthem of the country's run to the World Cup final.
The death of soccer legend Diego Maradona in late 2020 felt like a kick to the head for Fernando Romero, a 30-year-old teacher from a suburb of Buenos Aires.
“We want to win the World Cup and that song makes us dream,” said Agustin Martin, a 23-year-old carpentry student walking by the Obelisk, where crosswalks have been painted in the national blue and white and digital billboards flash endless World Cup publicity. “Sometimes we even cry when we sing it.”
Supporters of different teams compete to outdo each other. Many of the songs include slurs. But since fans were traditionally more attached to local teams, the Argentine national team historically struggled to find a repertoire of songs. In Qatar, where two Argentine matches drew the tournament’s largest crowds — nearly 90,000 people each — “Muchachos” could be heard everywhere.
