The head of state was looking forward to traveling to the United States to watch the final match against Spain at the home of his lucky daughter, not afraid of the national team.

Argentine President Javier Miley praised the uncontested, but made a decision clear for his athletes: he will not go to the final of the World Championship, but the official champions will compete here. The main reason for this craze is the deeply ingrained football instincts.

Instead of watching the game from the VIP box in New Jersey, shoulder-to-shoulder with US President Donald Trump and FIFA official Gianni Infantino, Miley will lose his residence in Olivos. You yourself were amazed at the first matches of the Argentine national team at this tournament, which ended in victory.

When asked directly by journalists about to go to the final, the president categorically confirmed: “Not in any way.”.

In an interview with the local radio station El Observador, Miley admitted that he was very careful about his rituals, trying to help the team achieve another championship title afterward.. One of them is wearing a specific thick jacket with the logo of the naphtha company.

" I took it, and they scored a goal for us. I will dress them again and never take them off again,” the head of state seriously explained.

Miley's behavior is a clear reflection of how seriously in Latin America, and especially in Argentina, there are so-called cabals (cabalas) - ritual rituals that never bring good luck to the team or damnation to the opponents.

This reinforces the incredible intensity with which a nation lives its national team matches. Among the most widespread rituals of Argentine fans:.

Wearing one and the same T-shirts without any further involvement in the championship. Review of all matches in the same place (who will be amazed at the fact that the team scored a goal at the moment when this person suddenly went to the toilet).

Reading the Bible during the hour of attacks (as a group of fans did from the moment of the goal at the gates of Egypt, who forced themselves to repeat their skin infections) or frozen in the refrigerator figurines and papers with the names of graves of the rival team.

The caution of Argentine leaders when organizing important matches has a long historical root. This brand new fear comes from the World Championship 1990. The current president, Carlos Menem, saw the team re-arranging immediately before the match, in which Argentina received impressive defeats against Cameroon.

After this, Menem was popularly dubbed a mufa - a man who brings misfortune and curses. From that hour, it is completely unknown that one respected President of Argentina would especially like to host the national team match at the stadium. Hawyer Miley decided not to try his share and to support this unspoken tradition.

Guess what, it became known earlier that Slavko Vincic will perform at the finals of the 2026 Emergency between Spain and Argentina.
