La Máquina (English: the Machine) is a nickname given to the River Plate football team from 1941 to 1947,[1] commonly referred by the media as the best Argentine team of its era and one of the best teams worldwide.[2][3][4][5]

The core group of la Máquina were forwards Juan Carlos Muñoz, José Manuel Moreno, Adolfo Pedernera, Ángel Labruna, and Félix Loustau.[6] Other players that were part of the attacking line were Aristóbulo Deambrossi, Carlos Peucelle, Alberto Gallo [it], and Renato Cesarini. In La Máquina also debuted Alfredo Di Stéfano and goalkeeper Amadeo Carrizo.

Due to its style of play, "The Machine" is often cataloged as a pioneer in the practice of the so-called Total Football, and the South American predecessor of the Hungarian national teams of the 50's, and the Clockwork Orange Netherlands national team of the 1970's.[7][8] The team won a total of 10 titles, including four Primera División and three Copa Aldao, among other titles.

I remember watching him winning that gold medal in 2008 on TV in the middle of the night. Just like with Britta Steffen winning her two gold medals the same year. Good times.
