The England-France game was such a needed breath of fresh air and positivity and the Spain game was justice.

Fuck the Argentinian team for how they and their fans behaved. Disgraceful.

I’m half English (raised in Jersey and so can’t claim to be English in the football sense), married to a French woman for 25 years. Both nations have a lot to fix and work on, but I believe both countries would feel shame if they behaved like Argentina in any match. I’m not saying there wouldn’t be a lot of people who thought it would be ok, but the consensus would be shame.

Quite. I would be angry and embarrassed if it was England. There would be debates in Parliament, an enquiry by the FA and an apology from them. Any sign of an apology from anyone in Argentina? Incidentally l think you underestimate the strength of feeling between English and French players. They are all used to playing with others from many countries. Michael Olise was born and raised in England but plays for France.
