  • Argentina’s 1978 World Cup win against Peru was fixed

    Argentina’s 1978 World Cup win against Peru was fixed in a brutal political deal, former senator says

    One of the World Cup’s oldest mysteries finally may be solved after claims were made this week of a sinister plot involving mass corruption, government interference and torture.
    Argentina’s 1978 triumph against Peru long has been suspected of involving dirty tricks by the Argentinean political dictatorship led by Jorge Videla that held power at that time. For more than 30 years questions have been asked about the controversial 6-0 win that clinched Argentina’s place in the final, where they beat the Netherlands 3-1.

    I watched that game as it was being played and I was then and am still convinced that Peru 'threw' the game!!!!
