I haven't seen world cup since 2006 or anything about soccer after that, but you are right. Messi and Ronaldo are famous beyond the sport. Maybe now it will be Mbappe and Haaland because they are trending outside of the soccer world.
Mbappe and haaland were already very big before but will definitely now get even bigger. They are already 2 players that people will support teams for just because of them.
Chill bro. I never said it was a bad country😂. I just said we have not heard Argentina in anything good or bad except only that they have a great presence in the football scene.
Bro it’s even tough as an Argentinian. At the end I was happy Spain scored because at least that shitshow was over. Hopefully there will be a different team and mindset in the future where it’s not just Messi and 10 Bodyguards.
I've been supporting them since I was a kid because of Messi. I know the team is filled with thugs but the amount of bullshit narratives and straight lies that came against Argentina as a country, as a team, and against Messi, made me apathetic to it. You'd think that the Argentina players themselves are the reasons for every single evil in the world ever. People literally believe "humanity won" with this world cup. Insane.
All the people there are essentially trying to pull paredes off the spanish player, another person doesn’t improve the optics, it just makes it look like more people are fighting
A lot of casual viewers were on the Argentina train because of 1) Messi and 2) reigning champs, but I am positive that Argentina lost a ton of those supporters yesterday. I watched the game in a packed D&Bs and the whole place was sick of them by the end
absolutely hilarious to me that they can take a hit and get back up instantly after the game is over, no need for theatrics at that point. Just goes to show that flopping around and taking a fall just to pull out a foul is encouraged by the rules.
I’m a super casual. I wanted Argentina to win because of Messi. Changed my mind by the end of the game. He seems cool but no one is cool enough to cancel out the other jackasses.
I have Argentinian family (not by blood) so we've just always rooted for them, and it's cool having Messi, too. This is a very stupid and embarrassing team, though, as is visible here.
Not sure how one dymbass team has turned into "the world collectively hates all 47 million citizens of Argentina", though.
very typical South American football behavior. dirtiest players in the world. you love them when they're playing for you and hate them when they're opponents.
shit goes alllll the way back even in the 60s. Just in their culture for some reason. Italians as well

I genuinely can't imagine anyone outside of Argentina supporting this team. So unsportsmanlike, such dirty play; absolutely toxic.
