Victory For Home Nation
Posted on 13/09/2009
It can't be easy playing against the host team in front of a home crowd, but Argentina put up a good battle against Italy losing 1-4. Argentina could not overcome the talented Italian players, espeically an outstanding performance by the Italian Goal Keeper.
The crowd went berserk as the final whistle blew and the players excitedly rushed onto the pitch to celebrate. Players were lifted into the air and water was splashed around. Amin Othman from the Italian Team had difficulty finding words to describe how he felt. "It was a difficult match, but we played well. I love Italy and it was an honour to play." It was especially meaningful for the Italian team to play in fron of a home crowd, especially when family and friends were in the audience.
The Argentinians were disappointed and thought the final score didn't reflect how close the game was. However, they gave it their best shot, and there is nothing more they could do.
