Argentina's wait of 36 long years for a World Cup trophy ends. A generation-long wait! That is really something, isn't it. To see something you have been waiting all your life being fulfilled? To see that sense of happiness on the faces on your players and your fellow fans? +
That agony of the decades-old long wait evaporating into the thin, cold air of the night, drowned out by the roar of the fans, that sense of lightness, of closure, of a sense of a weight being lifted from your heart. The long wait that you thought would never end. Redemption. +
I hope I will also be able to experience that feeling during my lifetime. We've been waiting to experience that feing of redemption for the past 48 years. The agony, however, continues with no end in sight, the weight of which gets heavier every four years. It is depressing.+
Three World Cup finals, only to fall in them all. It hurts so bad. Maybe we are cursed to live with the weight forever, to disappointedly watch everyone but us rejoice. This is why I am happy for the #Arg fans. Because I can imagine what their ecstasy must feel like.
Our wait continues. To experience that feeling. To see the "best team in the world to never win a World Cup", the team that has played the most number of final matches without winning, lift the World Cup. Maybe it will happen in my lifetime. Then we will share your happiness.
Maybe I will also get to celebrate my team winning the World Cup one day.
