30 years ago today…
Thirty years ago on this day, Argentina lifted their second (and sadly so far last) World Cup as they defeated West Germany 3-2 in the final.
After taking a 2-0 lead through goals by José Luis BROWN and Jorge VALDANO, West Germany went level with two goals by RUMMENIGGE and VOLLER. But only 3 minutes after Germany drew level, Jorge BURRUCHAGA scored the goal of his life, the goal which would hand Argentina in their second World Cup title.
It’s already been 30 years and while we’ve come close once since 1986, Argentina has always had the talent to go on and win the tournament. Be it luck, pressure or anything else, we haven’t been able to lift football’s most prestigious trophy. But that doesn’t mean we should ever stop believing.
More coming to Mundo Albiceleste
Just because the Copa America is over with doesn’t mean the changes here on Mundo will stop coming.
I’m currently working on an Olympics section which will hopefully be up in the coming days. It will include player profiles, group stage and tournament brackets, statistics, and information on the 2004 and 2008 Gold medal winning teams.
We launched the new design while the Copa America was underway, thus missing some key things we wanted to do with that section. However, that will not be the case with the Olympics.
Furthermore, there would also be a section for the Champions League and possibly the Europa League. Those sections would focus on the Argentinian players (how many goals they scored during this season, the team’s they are involved in and more). But that would be launched once the Champions League gets under way.
We’re also working on making some further changes to the look of the website. Most notably the background picture, a logo and possibly some more colors to brighten things up a little bit.
As mentioned in the past, this is not a finished product and is something we are continually working on. We hope you enjoy these improvements and new sections.
A new feature which has been implemented on the site (has been for a few weeks now) is in the comments section. When clicking on a news post, all comments in blue mean that those are “new” comments which have since been submitted since you last visited that article.
If there is anything in particular you would like to see brought in on Mundo, do let us know.
Thank you,
Roy
