ARLINGTON, Texas — It is an oft-repeated tale that Texas Stadium, the former home of the Dallas Cowboys just outside their namesake city, had a large hole in the roof for the unique purpose of allowing God to watch his favorite football team. The franchise carried over the architectural feature to its new venue across the metroplex, AT&T Stadium, but updated the opening to also include a giant 160 ft screen beneath so that both deities and fans alike can take in the action in a far more modern way.
By whatever viewpoint the football gods above, or over 70,649 in the building, took in the action during Argentina’s 2-0 victory over Austria on Monday afternoon, they can surely be thankful they were allowed more than a glimpse at history—they witnessed an ascension of the highest order on the pitch. The greatest of all time became, as if there was any question about it, the undeniably greatest of all time.
