Metz, who helped Argentina win their third World Cup, completed the ‘shortened’ bus victory parade with the army on Tuesday, then returned to his hometown of Rosario.
While the government designated Tuesday as a public holiday, millions of citizens crowded the streets of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, to welcome the triumphant return of national heroes, including Metz. The 30-kilometer open-top bus parade from the Argentine Football Federation training center to the Obelisk was originally scheduled to start; in the end, due to the large number of people who gathered, it was reported that fans were killed and injured , and the parade was forced to end early. The Football Association and the helicopter pick up the player.
The Metz prom king then took a helicopter to fly to Rosario, his hometown 185 kilometers from the capital, and was picked up by his wife Antonina, who did not attend the fashion show. Her husband returns home. The 35-year-old Metz officially began his football career at old school side Newell’s but moved to Barcelona, Spain at the age of 13.
Also, in the latest FIFA world rankings, Argentina, who won the World Cup, is still in second place behind Brazil. Although Brazil was eliminated in the top 8 of the World Cup, Argentina only won the championship by shooting each other from 12 yards. The points they scored were not enough to overwhelm Brazil, who are in first place since February of this year. Second-placed France also moved up one place to third, while Belgium dropped two places to fourth.
