Miloslav ‘Curby’ Urbanec, a 51-year-old music promoter from Bukovka, Czech Republic, has dedicated his life to supporting the Argentine national soccer team. His three-storey house is painted in the team’s sky-blue and white colors and features a huge sun emblem, the central motif of the Argentine flag, high on the wall.
Argentina Fanatic
Urbanec’s love for Argentina began when he was four years old and watched the 1978 World Cup with his father. He was captivated by the long hair of the Argentine players and has been a die-hard fan ever since. His house is a shrine to the team, with a life-size statue of Diego Maradona, a Lionel Messi mural, and an all-weather football pitch surrounded by placards bearing images of the stars of Buenos Aires side Boca Juniors.
Urbanec’s van is also painted in the team’s colors and bears images of Maradona holding the World Cup and of Messi, with the slogan ‘In Messi we trust’. He has even named his second son, now 7, Lionel, after the Argentine soccer star. Urbanec is confident that Argentina will win the World Cup again and is looking forward to celebrating with his family and friends.
