      I’m happy that Argentina lost too. They played shit football and their best claim for a title was for “dirtiest player of the tournament”.

      My vote is split between Fernández and Simeone, although the latter surely is making his daddy proud.

        Hopefully one day it’s your country that can make you happy. I know mine has.

            Congratulations. I honestly thought France / Spain would be the decider but Spain’s consistency was amazing. One goal conceded all tournament is the stat that says it all.

            A well deserved win. Lots of sore heads over there today I’m sure.

            I watched in Rome and people didn’t even celebrate. The ones that did sung “españa” and clapped three times, that was it. You I think that was the worst part was losing to a country with so little passion xD You couldn’t even write lyrics for your own national anthem.

              Everybody wanted Argentina to lose due to their player’s and fan’s behaviour. You are not helping the case at all.

                Sure dude. My behavior is totally reprehensible. Denying false claims is an awful thing to do. My bad. Next time I’ll just go with the social media narrative.

                  I’m from Galicia, in fact. And I know the history of the word. What a PoS you are.

                  What’s next? Any racial slur you want to share? Argentinian players sure love those.

              There’s no way you’re not a troll. Every comment you’ve made is so fucking dumb and ignorant that it shouldn’t be possible for you to be able to write.

                This guy was expecting them to go out into the streets of Rome in the middle of the night and start behaving like animals.

                Which tells you exactly what they think “Argentinian passion” is.

                Because they were spaniards, genius. It was a large field with people from both sides.

                They didn’t even celebrate in the stadium so I don’t know why I was surprised.

                  Can confirm. I watched in Spain and no one celebrated. Few people watched and after the final whistle they clapped and went home. It was one of the calmest nights I’ve seen. /s

                    Watch a video from 2022 and then rewatch videos from last night. If you can’t see the difference, I would go to an ophtalmologist.

      Not only I’m ecstatic that Argentina lost against Spain but I’m even more happy that the Spanish humiliated them with a fun, smart and enjoyable game leaving Argentina without a ball and with the only option of dirty tricks (sometimes just violence).

      Moreover, I thought messi was playing but I didn’t see him once, weird…

        Again, hopefully your country will some day make you happy. Even today I’m delighted to have witnessed a group of olayers that gave us two copa america, a finalissima and a world cup. Winning yesterday woul’ve just been icing on the cake.

        And don’t kid yourself. Spain yesterday had good control of the ball but they weren’t smart nor fun. The match was boring af.

        The messi comment is the typical envious one. You’ll never have a player like him and it hurts. Sucks to be you. Also, Lamine did have the ball and he did fuck all.

          The match was boring because argentina were playing haramball. And even that wasn’t enough to stop spain.

          Argentina didn’t register a single shot for 90 minutes and you think Spain weren’t smart or fun ?

          Argentina is washed as soon as Messi retires. You guys aren’t making it out of the group stages in 2030.

            Here’s to hoping you’re wrong 🤞 Good luck to you as well next time, whoever you’re rooting for.
