Now the world is even more happy Spain won
They still fouling even after the game
That's their real face 😂
That's what they do 0 shots on target but agressive behavior
Good to see Argentina lost.. happy that Spain won
Their poor sportmanship is the exact reason why I was rooting for Spain. Such a disgrace
That’s the real face of Argentina
They should be banned from the next WC
They showing the real behavior 😂
What a looser. He shouldn’t play anymore.
They showed the world why they are the most hated team of this tournament.
Bad Loosers
Very poor sportsmanship 😢
This Guy should be sanctioned by FIFA..this is so unsportmanship
More fight than they had all game
He behaved like an animal, 0 control, no brain, just aggression! This is unacceptable!!! I hope he has a punishment. And the others pushing the Spanish player? I really hope Argentina is sanctioned for all the horrible behaviour they had during this world cup!
what a way to ruin the reputation of an entire country in 1 match
Gianni Infantino is probably still considering awarding Argentina and Messi a Fairplay-Award... 😂
I'm Polish, my husband is Argentinian, and we live in Barcelona. It always amazes me how these crybabies, instead of showing the skills they clearly have, choose to play dirty and aggressively. We only get to see the football in the last five minutes—the rest is elbows, diving, and endless complaining. They're still pissed at the Brits over something that happened generations ago, yet they did nothing to change their own situation for decades. Then they're pissed at the Spaniards, even though Spain has welcomed millions of Argentinians like brothers. Argentina is a huge country that was once a superpower, blessed with incredible natural resources, yet so much of that potential has been wasted. I just hope the younger generations are less emotional, more self-aware, and a lot smarter about the future.
0 shots during the game..... 4 cheap shots after the final whistle...... That's Argentina !!
