RadioProfile | The old Teo

Anna Edwards,
Old Teo's feats are as extraordinary as they are incredible. Although, for many, it is only an ability to get out of difficulties, his daring and great courage cannot be denied.

We were at the foot of a dune, very warm, and despite the cold, drinking mate and talking, "Tano" Hugo, Pablo and me. Suddenly, we saw…

Anna Edwards, , , , , ,
On June 25, 1978, the Argentine National Team won the World Cup for the first time. The team led by César Luis Menotti prevailed over the Netherlands in an unforgettable final that was played at the Monumental Stadium, and was defined in extra time.

Anna Edwards, , , , ,
On June 23, 1968, the tragedy at gate 12 of River occurred: 71 people died after the classic with Boca. That catastrophe had a feeling of pain that went through Argentina.
