	World Cup 2002 with Franz Beckenbauer - Naharnet
		Mario Alberto Kempes was without doubt the star of the Argentinian team which won their first World Cup title at home in 1978.
		Kempes was top goalscorer in the 11th World Cup with six strikes and one the main reasons that the "albicelestes" (silver and blues) took the trophy.
		Kempes, now 47, believes all that has been said about the validity or non-validity of Argentina's title as a consequence of the country being under martial law at the time of the competition, bears no relation to the strictly sporting events.

		Kempes scored two of his side's goals, the first in the 38th minute of the first half, and the second, after one of his typical strong, gutsy runs, in the 15th minute of extra time.

	Rosario Central - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For the 1974 season, Central acquired striker Mario Kempes from Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba (Kempes and Instituto mate Osvaldo Ardiles were to be reunited in the national team that won the 1978 World Cup).
		With Kempes gone to Valencia CF and former player Ángel Tulio Zof at the helm, Central won the 1980 Nacional title.
		Central's common nickname is canallas ("scoundrels", which is a rather mild insult in Argentina) because they refused to play a charity match for a leprosy clinic back in the 1920s; rival side Newell's acquired its leprosos (lepers) nickname when they did play in that event.

		With great balance and wonderful ball skills, Kempes was a typical South American forward, and he provided a silky counterpoise for Argentina while captain Daniel Passarella marshaled a regime of steel from defense.

		By that point, the Dutch game of "total football" had taken its toll on the defenders, who were visibly tired and generally outclassed in O.T. Play was brutal in the opening five minutes, and it remained so throughout the epic 120-minute battle.
		Kempes and star Dutch midfielder Jan Neeskens were both bloodied by the end of the contest.
		Two minutes later, Kempes broke in on Yongblood, who repelled one volley before Kempes poked the ball between two sluggish Dutch defenders for the eventual game-winner.

		Politics aside (if that is at all possible) Argentina started pretty badly and were outplayed by Italy in the opening round group games, but in Daniel Passarella, Osvaldo Ardiles and Mario Kempes, top scorer with six goals, they had outstanding players.
		Kempes was born at Belville, Cordoba, on July 15th 1954 and, after rejection by Boca Juniors, began with Instituto Cordoba and then Rosario Central before making his international debut in 1973, against Bolivia.
		Kempes scored two goals and became top scorer of the tournament.

		That year, in a blizzard of paper thrown from the stands, Mario Kempes stepped on to the pitch for the World Cup final.
		'Of course it was a difficult situation,' Kempes says, but as the only player in the team based outside Argentina (he was then at Valencia), the political context was something he felt far removed from.
		Which is just as well, as last week Kempes left Italy and is now in the south of Spain managing yet another tiny lower league team, San Fernando.
