    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.

            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.

                    I can see you’re very proud of how your people celebrate football but, as I told you in another thread, it’s probably more toned down in Spain simply because people have more things to celebrate than just football. I’m sure that if Spain lived in constant crisis for 40 years and with bleak outlooks for the future and without any World Cup since 1986 they would also lose their minds. Spain currently holds European Championship, female World Championship and won last World Cup 16 years ago. So yeah, they celebrated the normal amount.
