Spanish mafia got to Arg players before the game. Leo’s wife and kids weren’t at the game, other families too.

I laughed at this theory on r/soccer.

Mafia care about money and power. Football is fun, but not crucial.

Notice how if the Italian mafia cared about soccer, "something" would be happening surrounding the Italian WC Qualifying Process

Not entirely accurate

The Italian mafia does have a history of involvement in leagues in Italy. Most recent scandal involved a tier 3 club, Crotone. They've just stayed more under the radar since the big match fixing scandal in 2015.
