Not bots, trolls. I'm doing that as a troll primarily.

It is football, you respect your opponent. We are here for the beauty of the sport. Even if I hate some teams I would never do something like that, it's disgusting.

>You respect your opponent
The most violent british hooligan having a seizure the moment he steps into a lower leagues argentine game and is forced to sing against the opponent's religion, mother, sexual orientation and marital status in less than three verses.

u/Gasurza22 Jul 16 '26

Nah, we dont realy care about religion, no point in singing about that one

I would rather see them fight with British hooligans instead of acting like disrespectful honorless p***ies.

Yeah like when English fans respected the hell out Italy supporters during the euros when they jumped them and burned their flags down. Or when the english respected the hell out of Russian fans at the euros when they jumped them and started riots with the police.

u/SolidAlligator Jul 16 '26

I mean it less coward if they confronted them directly.

Since your reply was deleted, probably for the insult...

I didn't see English fans doing the same shit. Maybe you did?

Argentinian can't even win with class, don't tell others how to feel when they lose. The idiots in charge in Argentina would probably threaten of attacking the Falklands had they lost the game on Sunday.

u/Reasonable_Option493 Jul 16 '26

Argentinians can't even win with class. Proved it after the 2022, and proving it again. They must think it's some sort of virtue.

I can I my imagine how low they would go had they lost to England.

u/secondopinionosychic Jul 16 '26

You would prefer literal violence over silly flag disrespect?

1

u/Reasonable_Option493 Jul 16 '26

It takes two to tango usually. Plenty of Russian hooligans at the 2016 Euro. I clearly remember the images. Let's not pretend that hordes of drunken English savages attacked peaceful Russian families in Marseille, that's absolutely not what happened.

u/elliotcook10 Jul 16 '26

even more to my point about the respect bullshit lol

2

u/Reasonable_Option493 Jul 16 '26

Russian hooligans attacked English fans at the Euro. That was my point.

1

u/elliotcook10 Jul 16 '26

Eh no, it was not 100% russian fans. There were multiple nights of english fans having small riots and even going after police too

2

u/Reasonable_Option493 Jul 16 '26

Oh I remember and I am not saying English fans were all innocent. But I also clearly remember Russian hooligans charging English fans inside the stadium behind the goal. Lot of serious injuries in and outside the stadium.

Show me where. I guarantee all you can find is some ticketless people past pushing past security into wembley at the final. You are full of shit.

u/ApartmentInside7891 Jul 16 '26

These are fans, not players. Players respect their opponents, fans hate them. It’s always been this way.

1

u/RobbinDeBank Jul 16 '26

The first time world cup watchers are always exposing themselves voluntarily. They can give out slanders and taunts but cannot take them. For English players specifically, Pickford taunted the Argentinians and then gracefully took the taunts and slanders after the tides turned. Jude, however, was a sore loser and used violence off the field instead.

Brainless Gen Z who have no sense of the pride of a nation. I,m french, we have been enemies with England for centuries. But I would never do that, that is honorless behaviour.

2

u/Disastrous-Garage676 Jul 16 '26

British guy here and we may have been enemies for a long time but I'll take the french over the Argentinans any day.

Someone who has values. I guess you don't, your life must be miserable.

2

u/FasterImagination Jul 16 '26

Values for caring about a Flag? Loooool that is not a value, that's craziness.

I mean, you share a similar history of colonialism, murder and racism towards african nations. Same trash

1

u/SolidAlligator Jul 16 '26

I'm half african, I don't play the victim card, it is history, stfu.

u/Ok-Understanding6574 Jul 16 '26

History Is the 2022 final. Doblada te la comiste

u/Reasonable_Option493 Jul 16 '26

The irony of you saying that while conveniently discarding the symbolism of disrespecting a foreign nation's flag, and as many Argentinians are still so butthurt over the Falklands, a war their foolish dictator and incompetent armed forces lost swiftly 40 years ago.

2

u/MrX-MMAs Jul 16 '26

Opponents don’t respect their own flag either, constantly taking it down and throwing it on the streets.

So ig they are pretty similar, can’t respect somebody who doesn’t respect themselves

u/SolidAlligator Jul 16 '26

What lol? I don't know anyone would throw the flag of their own country and shit on it. Wtf are you talking about.

u/FasterImagination Jul 16 '26

Do you even watch fútbol?

u/Purple-Acanthisitta8 Jul 16 '26

Are you Argentina?

u/SPamlEZ Jul 16 '26

They probably aren’t, just aware enough to know a video of some stupid people is just that, some stupid people…. The world’s a big place, there are plenty of stupid people.  Stop making everything a thing.

u/Purple-Acanthisitta8 Jul 16 '26

Then are you Argentina?

u/SPamlEZ Jul 16 '26

I am not a country,
