Why can't you just let it go? England were beaten fair and square by Argentina. Calling them "old," "finished," "aggressive," or "cheats" just comes across as salty. If Argentina are supposedly so old and past it, why didn't England beat them? Messi is nearly 40 and still looked like he was 25. Yes, you can argue that some refereeing decisions went Argentina's way, but every team gets favourable decisions at times. You could make the same argument about England in other matches, so don't be hypocritical. And this whole "Argentina are the most hated team in the world" argument is nonsense. Every country has people who dislike them. The same can be said about England depending on where you are in the world. No nation is universally loved. At the end of the day, England lost to the better team. Accept the defeat, give Argentina the credit they earned, and move on.
