More Despicable People and the World Cup (Part Three) Consequences

There is little doubt that the match between Argentina and Perú in the 1978 World Cup left a bitter taste. To some it absolutely reeked. However, the full truth about the ‘fix’ may never emerge, but enough has to expose it as one of the most despicable deals in football history.

Broken Promises

Imagine a national football team, say Spain in 2007, or England in 1965 that was tipped for great things, were killed in a plane crash before they achieved their potential.

And somehow, despite the tragedy, the players that replaced them reached the final the following year, losing narrowly.
