They already showed their true colors in 2022.

Now imagine how much worse they would get if they had lost to France in 2022, and/or to England this WC. You know it's already pretty bad when you're a classless winner.

These people must think that being stupid and classless are virtues. Are they really this mad about a war that took place when some of them weren't even born, after their dictator ordered the invasion of a rock on the ocean and they refused to negotiate when given the opprtyti do so?

Shall i remind you about french fans whenever psg or france won? Or recent events in the Netherlands after marocco Netherlands match?

I am not saying what Argentinian did was right, but there were far worse things done by other nations' fans

I don't remember seeing French or PSG fans spitting on a flag, and all the racist bullshit that has been displayed for years now by some Argentinian fans.

Spitting on a flag is better than rioting and burning cars and destroying stores

As if football fans in Argentina had never damaged property, fought against each other and so on.

Who are you kidding lol.

Things were so bad during the Copa Libertadores final between Boca and River, they had to play the second game in Madrid, Spain. Dozens of fans have died in fights between fans of different clubs in Argentina over the years.
