What a mighty word VAMOS is.
Argentinians pronounce her and his mother.
With S, it is very, very quiet to the point where you don't hear it, and this word stores so much emotion in it.
Apparently, it's just a word.
It can be translated as "come on", "come on", "come on", but the VAMOS in the Argentinian cheer format translates to something like "let's give it our all because there is nothing in this world that is as important to us as football. Like the national team. We crossed half the world to cheer on the players , so let's keep singing until we get kicked out."
And on Friday night, the VAMOS was stronger than ever.
Against the Netherlands, against history, against Louis van Hal and when a victory equals a semi-final, the Argentinian crowd once again pushed as only they know how.
True, it is important to everyone, everyone wants to win the cup and everyone wants to win, but few if any want it as much as the Argentinians.
For them it is a national mission.
mission.
In their order of priorities, nothing appears above football.
This is the first place.
It's happiness, it's identity, it's the thing worth investing for.
And this is the man who probably wants it the most of all.

As an Argentinian, I can't help but identify with these sentiments.
As a media person who covered this match, I stumbled upon the jubilant stands of the Argentines at the end.
At that moment I had so much to say to them, to these fans, so many words that were important to me to convey.
So I cleared my throat, glared and shouted: VAMOS.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
