It is almost too delicious to digest - WC Commentator. BRAVO ARGENTINA, BRAVO Messi!! So pleased to see a SA finalist and it could not happen for a better team. Enjoy this flashback from 1978 - The Daily Telegraph archives ahead of the World Cup semi-final between Holland and Argentina and revisit Buenos Aires in 1978! Holland v Argentina history 1978: Magic of Kempes leaves the Dutch runners-up again - By Donald Saunders in Buenos Aires7:00AM BST 09 Jul 2014CommentsComment • Holland v Argentina live (kick-off 9pm) Argentina 3 Holland 1 (aet: score at 90 min 1-1) Argentina became the soccer champions of the world for the first time, at the River Plate Stadium, Buenos Aires yesterday, when three moments of magic by little Mario Kempes left Holland disappointed runners-up just four years after their failure in Munich. In the most exciting final since England beat West Germany, also after extra time, in 1966, and the toughest of the six I have watched, Argentina’s refusal to lose faith in attacking soccer ultimately was rewarded. And, for that, they must largely thank Kempes, the exile who returned home from the Spanish League to bring so much colour and excitement to this tournament. Bye bye Holland..not this time!
