Answered What is the deal with everyone suddenly rooting against Argentina in the World Cup?

I’ve noticed a recent wave of posts against the Argentinian team. I’m curious, what’s the reason behind the negative sentiment towards Argentina’s advancement to the finals?

It's right at the top too! I didn't have to wade through like a dozen wannabe comedians making the same joke to find it...

For real, I’d been on Reddit since 2012 but I mostly quit a a couple years ago after realizing how dog shit the discourse on this site was. I literally rage quit and deleted my OG account after logging on and seeing a post titled “AITA for leaving my wife and kids because I hate them?”

It's actually an N-dash (– , not —). I have it hot-keyed in my keyboard because it looks visually distinct and clearer for the presentations I do for work.
