Eliminatorias: Los grandes siempre serán grandes

El fútbol es apasionante y complejo. Cuando rueda la pelota la mayoría de los aficionados nos olvidamos de las leyes físicas, la estadística y la realidad. Vamos en un acto de fe con nuestra selección olvidando la historia, confiados en que 'este será el día en que todo cambiará'.





Para alegría de los seguidores de los equipos dominantes, las distancias en el fútbol siguen ahí y las eliminatorias lo mostraron: Argentina y Brasil son los mandones de Sudamérica, Estados Unidos y México lo son en CONCACAF. Los equipos europeos de siempre y Brasil serán los que aspiren a ganar el Mundial, los milagros no existen.

Argentina pasó problemas en las eliminatorias a pesar de su mal juego y Maradona, sin embargo ganaron el partido que tenían que ganar. Fieles a su costumbre hicieron lo necesario: Con un gol feo, apretado, como sea, pero son un equipo nacido para ganar.

México en su zona estaba herido de muerte hace unas jornadas. Costa Rica y Honduras sólo tenían que mantener el ritmo para clasificar directo al Mundial. Nuevamente la historia se puso a trabajar y con muy poco que hicieron los mexicanos y mucho que dejaron de hacer los centroamericanos, el agua volvió a su nivel. Estados Unidos, no tiene ni que despeinarse para ser el primer lugar.

Si se quiere voltear a Europa el panorama es el mismo: Alemania, Italia, España, Holanda, Inglaterra, están en el Mundial acompañados de los pequeños europeos que se darán cita en simplemente para participar. Francia está en repechaje, pero seamos sinceros, avanzará.

Mientras más se acerca Sudáfrica 2010, hasta el más sereno de mente se dejará llevar por la sublime tentación de soñar con ganar la Copa, hasta que su equipo se enfrente a los grandes de siempre, a esos que ganan Mundiales y entonces se vuelve a la realidad.
