As an Argentinian myseld, I thought it would be important to look into a dark history for our country. Welcome to Argentina in 1978, a country ran by an American backed military dictatorship while hosting the biggest tournament in the world! The FIFA World Cup 1978 is surrounded in controversy and conspiracy. With numerous reports of match fixing and threats, the worlds game has deep scars in South America. Do you think the match between Argentina and Peru was somehow a deal between countries? Do you think the match was fixed at all? Did you know the state of Argentina in the 1970s? Let me know in the comments. Thank you guys for watching, and let me know what you'd like me to cover next!
Thank you so much for watching our video. Would you like to see more?

  • So well done, Kevin! And you can tell it's a very personal subject to you as well. Props to you for making this because I know it wasn't easy. -Polanco

    Cruyff didn’t play in that World Cup due to kidnapping/ death treaths, Dutch royal family ends up related to the Argentinian minister of Agriculture of the same regime.
  • you forgot to mention that the game between Argentina x peru was supposed to happen at the same time as Brasil x Poland, but "they" changed the game time so Argentina could know how many goals they had to score in order to advance
  • @DavidFromTampa
    Wow, found a clip on your tik tok, was not expecting THIS well done of a video
  • On Kissinger... He visited a certain island, belonging to a certain guy who didn't off himself, many times.
  • Descubri el canal y me suscribí. Soy del 56 y he vivido todo esa época llamada dictadura militar. No me puedo quejar de nada,tenia trabajo,estudiaba,aqui estoy vivo,nada me ha pasado pero si hay cosas que quisiera decir porque en realidad las personas media adulta de esa epoca no quieren opinar no se si es por temor, ignorancia, bueno cada quien sabrá y todo se acepta y se respeta. En mi opinion,no fue solo en la Argentina,creo que fue en todo Latinoamérica,y porque no decir todo Occidente,era una epoca donde se combatia el avance del imperio comunista ruso-cubano,la Argentina estaba plagado de terroristas,colocaban bombas en cualquier parte asi morían inocentes claro de esto nadie habla,solo en contra de los militares. Hoy puedo opinar porque no esta el gobierno Kirchnerista aliados del chavizmo y funcionales al imperio comunista chino-cubano hoy,nadie admite que desde los Kirchner hubo persecución, censura contra todo aquel que no era de izquierda,los zurdos por ignorancia llevan en sus bandera la cara de Erneto Guevara alias "el che guvara" como si fuera un procer y es solo un crimina de inocentes pero de esto nadie dice nada. No es cierto que fueran 30.000 desaparecidos,ademas no me interesa si son mas o menos porque nunca atente contra la vida de nadie. Muchos en la Argentina dicen ser peronistas pero no lo son,los peronistas ya no viven mas,solo quedan los oportunistas,cagadores y ventejeros porque Perón jamas fue aliado de cubano,ruso,o chino. Muchos dicen ser peronistas y no saben la escencia del peronismo. No soy administrador del peronista,ni comunista,la política no me da para comer ni vivir al contrario me saca $ para dar de comer a vagos,adictos a drogas,si no trabajo no vivo
  • This was epic my G! Thank you for the hard work you put into this. You can tell by the end product!
  • @AlexPun908

  • @electric7man
    This is a brilliant video, Kevin. As another Austin FC fan just following you, I've found all your content to be really well informed and entertaining. Fuck Kissinger indeed. Keep rocking it, man!
  • @hbabycakes
    I love these Uncloaked vids! Keep up the great work!
  • @Xenro_o
    Watched the MLS video when i came out. you are so underrated it is almost a crime. Love your videos
  • @jonv8965
    Excellent report, as a Peruvian I can only say shame to the Peruvian delegation in 78, and Menen is most hated argentinian by peruanos.

    Very well researched video, I can tell that this is a passionate project of yours and I can respect that I made my own video on this World Cup about 9 months ago, more focused on the tournament itself (as this video seems to be more about the situation in Argentina while the World Cup was going on rather than an investigation on the tournament) and I think it's pretty important to highlight that the match fixing is all conspiracy, no evidence has ever been found about it and while it all looks very shady from the outside, the amount of missunformation has led people to assume this World Cup was fixed without looking more into it, I watched all the games for my video and I found nothing particularly strange about them (even the game against Peru, the Preuvians played well in the first half, having two clear chances when the game was 0-0) and nobody seems to mention that Argentina had beaten Peru comfortably in their 4 previous meeting showing that it wasn't an impossible task to beat Peru with enough motivation and playing at home. And even the final with Rensenbrik hitting the post in the 90th minute which could have given the Dutch a World Cup and nobody would be talking about match fixing. Anyway, sorry for the wall of text, thank you for talking about this and I hope more people start to respect Argentina and it's accomplishments!
  • Awesome video. You've earned yourself a new subscriber after this and the MLS video. I'd love to see the potential Henry Kissinger video now.
  • Always awesome work Kev. Though I slightly critique. We need more mustache.

    Great documentary, thank you very much, man! I think there were three other scandals, all meant to keep away the big opponents. First, the best player in the world at the time, Johan Cruyff, received multiple threats of assassination for himself and his family , so he had to stay away and not join the Netherlands' team to the cup🤬. Second: in the Brazil-Sweden game when Brazil scored the winning goal from a corner kick at the 90th minute, the referee disallowed it claiming he blew the whistle while the ball was in the air😂. And third: the last group games always played simultaneously, but in this cup the Argentina game was scheduled after other matches, so they would know the required aggregate. Don't get me wrong, that Argentina team was one of the best ever, but the tournament's outcome had Videla and Kissinger hands all over it. Thanks again.
