This is a version of the song Guys, now we got excited again, from La Mosca, a group that burst onto the Buenos Aires musical scene in the 90s. Before the World Cup, the same band recorded their own version. The initiative, however, was born from a group of fans after Argentina won the Copa America last year against Brazil (1-0) at the Maracanã stadium.
The origin of the theme is explained by the desire to claim after the lost finals. The song, obviously, bearing in mind that we are talking about Argentina more football, also glosses over the figure of Diego Armando Maradona: it defines the Argentinian nation as the land of Diego and Lionel and also talks about the celebrations from heaven of Maradona and his parents, Don Diego and Dalma Salvadora Franco Cariolichi, better known as Doña Tota.

Now we are excited again.
I want to win the third
I want to be world champion.

we can see it from the sky
with Don Diego and La Tota
encouraging him to Lionel.

There are also references to Messi and Maradona:Today you have to win and be first. These crazy fans, I give up everything for the Cup. The one with Messi and Maradona. Put egg go to the front Argentina. Lay eggs, go to the front, players. This year we have to turn around. We didn’t all come to Doha to be champions”.
There is also a track in which the selector, Lionel Sacaloni, appears, and which has been made by covering one of the main hits of the summer: the song stay, by Quevedo and Bizarrap. This is what the chorus sounds like:
Scaloneta,
for a little that I can’t anymore.
It is the dream of my life to see you in the World Cup,
play with Messi and raise the Cup,
Scaloneta
There have also been classics such as “I’m Argentine, it’s a feeling, I can’t stop“. In Sunday’s final, Argentina and Messi hope to be able to sing loudly.
