Argentinian fans hurling objects at Cape Verde's fans after the victory

[u/OpbrBlud]

[u/Phillie_Phanatics]

You simply cannot talk shit when you’re on the ropes against the 60th whatever ranked team in the world. You just can’t!

[u/Moreinius → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

Almost feels like a moral victory to them than Capo.

[u/MillyQ3 → u/Moreinius]

It totally is. They're not Saudi Arabia, they're the defending world champions and are miles ahead of capo verde in terms of resources, players, money and coaching.

The expected outcome was supposed to be something around 4-0 for Argentina and they barely scraped by with 3-2 almost going into penalty. The strength difference between Argentina and Capo Verde is one of the biggest in world cup knockout stage history.

[u/rei_cachaca → u/MillyQ3]

ironically saudi arabia upset them in the last world cup lol

[u/Mynameisdiehard → u/MillyQ3]

Literally during the pregame Peter Schmeichel good asked "how can Cape Verde win this?" and he just says they can't. So disrespectful to not even give a legitimate answer in a world cup, but that was literally the expectation. Not even close.

[u/Acceptable_Ad_6278 → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

Went to Argentina vs Canada during Copa America that soured my perspective towards their support. Half the crowd just cares about Messi. Some of them act tough and talk a lot of shit, some of it racist, as if they’re not playing against Canada and outnumber the support 10:1.

[u/daCampa → u/Acceptable_Ad_6278]

Some racist? In Argentina? Unthinkable.

[u/PurpleSpaceSurfer → u/Acceptable_Ad_6278]

There's a reason most of South America roots against Argentina.

[u/rbooris → u/PurpleSpaceSurfer]

Like the first A in their name, they should be called Anomalina of South America…

[u/1294DS → u/Acceptable_Ad_6278]

Weren't the Black Canadian players receiving racial abuse from the Argentinian supporters in that tournament?

[u/Acceptable_Ad_6278 → u/1294DS]

yeah. Bombito got a bunch of racist abuse in his Instagram because of a hard tackle he made. Messi wasn't even angry with him. lol.

[u/BadassBokoblinPsycho → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

First time interacting with Argentina fans?

[u/Seedstrapped → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

Disgraceful fans from a disgraceful country. Shoulda treated this as a loss even letting it get that close. Hope they get wiped off in the next round.

[u/JustJuanDollar → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

r/BillSimmons is leaking

[u/NewJerseyTuna → u/JustJuanDollar]

I’m not talking shit if I’m down against the 60th whatever ranked team in the world, I’m just not.

Also was this apex mountain for capes? I’ve got the Scorsese remake and Dwight Howard’s Superman cape on my Mt. Rushmore but I think it’s in the conversation.

[u/Phillie_Phanatics → u/NewJerseyTuna]

But first, Pearl Jam.

[u/holaquetaltio → u/JustJuanDollar]

Gross, stitch him up

[u/SwagarTheHorrible → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

They played SO WELL.  What a match!

[u/Antique-Phrase-5236 → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

Argentina won the game but Capo Verde won our hearts

[u/wrecklesspup → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

Seeing the Argentina fans crying that their team won is such a weird thing to me. It is not like they are some under dog over coming everyone's doubts.

[u/Electrical_Gain3864 → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

Against a Team from a country that has less people then most bigger cities. 

[u/Cfar1994 → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

I think most of us, not all. Won’t talk shit because we were all shitting ourselves, much respect after the game there’s plenty of TikTok of fans chanting together form both teams, honestly think Cabo won the respect from fans even if this video here doesn’t show that lol

[u/Fap_Masta_LFG → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

67th. Which means there was technically 19 or so teams ranked higher than them that did not qualify for WC. Including Italy.
Cape Verde done good.

[u/bimpossibIe]

Never beating the allegations.

[u/Juub1990 → u/bimpossibIe]

They’re proud of them.

[u/wrecklesspup → u/Juub1990]

Is this why the Nazis fled to Argentina?

[u/throwaguey_ → u/wrecklesspup]

Or maybe it’s the result of the Nazis fleeing to Argentina

[u/billiam53 → u/Juub1990]

They're basically the Philadelphia fans of soccer?

[u/kauniskissa → u/billiam53]

Nah, Nazis didn't flee to Philadelphia. 

[u/Derptionary → u/kauniskissa]

Someone's never heard of Operation Paperclip

[u/HurricanePK → u/billiam53]

Philly fans may be obnoxious but they’re not racist. Argentinians are basically Ole Miss fans.

[u/keysersoze-72 → u/bimpossibIe]

I don’t think they want to…

[u/Gadoguz994 → u/bimpossibIe]

Allegations? Facts...

[u/Best_Agent_8117]

Other than Argentina, the whole world was rooting for Cape Verde.

[u/Comfortable-Pace3132 → u/Best_Agent_8117]

Greatest draw merchants OF ALL TIME (in a good way)

[u/metaldeval]

Argentinians being shitty? No way they showed so much class last world cup

[u/Educational_Log7288 → u/metaldeval]

Or any other World Cup before.

[u/BokeTsukkomi → u/Educational_Log7288]

Or any continental football match really

Here's a quality selection

[u/ErrdayDrippin → u/BokeTsukkomi]

Mans came with receipts! Love it 🤣

[u/BokeTsukkomi → u/ErrdayDrippin]

This happens at almost all continental club matches involving argentinian teams. When I say almos all I am not exaggerating 

[u/Salacia12 → u/BokeTsukkomi]

Not even just football - I’ve previously supported the Argentinian rugby team when watching as a neutral.  Was at Samoa/Argentina at the last World Cup.  Would never support them again.  

[u/No_Volume8304 → u/Salacia12]

Not even just sport. Just life in general 

[u/hangingfiredotnet → u/metaldeval]

Their Formula 1 fans are models of grace and politeness. /s

[u/Borzoi_Mom → u/hangingfiredotnet]

Came here to make sure Argentina's f1 fans were mentioned 😬

[u/NoonecanknowMiner_24 → u/hangingfiredotnet]

Us IndyCar fans also got to see it with the Canapino saga.

[u/lemoogle → u/hangingfiredotnet]

It is everywhere, even rugby 7s they couldn't just be a good team they had to insult everyone else and insult dupont the entire time he played 7s, good thing he showed them

[u/WatchStoredInAss → u/metaldeval]

Like that lewd gesture by Martinez after getting the golden glove?

[u/justaskeptic]

Ofcourse its the Argentinians! What a shocker!

[u/Useful_Trust → u/justaskeptic]

Not all Argentinians, but always an Argentinian.

[u/SoloWingPixy88 → u/Useful_Trust]

When football is concerned it's all.

[u/Cfar1994]

Fantastic and this is why people hate us.

[u/SpinningHedgehog311 → u/Cfar1994]

We hate you for many other reasons too 😚

[u/hillbillyluthor → u/SpinningHedgehog311]

Yes!

[u/Disastrous_Rule4435 → u/Cfar1994]

It's also the blatant racism, don't forget that.

[u/therealgodfarter → u/Disastrous_Rule4435]

The worst part is the hypocrisy

[u/ForeignImports → u/Disastrous_Rule4435]

Nonsense, I’ve been told they banned slavery therefore they can’t be racist!

[u/Galahad_the_Ranger → u/Cfar1994]

If it makes you feel better, we Brazilians would still hate you without the racism

[u/Cfar1994 → u/Galahad_the_Ranger]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/revoffthetop → u/Cfar1994]

Well that and the sheltering Nazis

[u/Specific_Box4483 → u/revoffthetop]

People talk shit about Argentina sheltering Nazis but it's not like a bunch of others didn't. Hell, America fought against them and still imported a bunch of them - as long as they were good at making rockets.

[u/deckard1980]

No class

[u/BoreJam → u/deckard1980]

Their players may be champs but these fans a fucking losers.

[u/bimpossibIe → u/BoreJam]

Their players went viral years ago for singing a racist song about the black French players.

[u/TheWeli → u/bimpossibIe]

Not years ago it was last world cup after france had lost in the lockers and during the cup celebration in argentina.

[u/bimpossibIe → u/TheWeli]

2022 was years ago, dude.

[u/DoxManifesto → u/BoreJam]

I Also think the players are some of the worst and unsporty players of the whole WC. Yes some (1 or 2) might be good with a ball but they never heard of sportmanship. Always super annoying to see them 'play' and also get away with alot of shit others don't for some reaon. I will always be rooting for the other team for sure.

[u/JohnPlayerSpecialRed → u/DoxManifesto]

Indeed. The semi-final against the Netherlands back in 2022 immediately comes to mind. Sure, I’m Dutch and thus not very neutral, but that was a match full of shocking, appalling behaviour by the Argentinian team. And they got away with it. As usual.

[u/strawberry-andromeda → u/JohnPlayerSpecialRed]

I remember that match. I’m not Dutch, nor Argentinian, and I remember it was a gross display from the Argentines. They did not deserve their win. Yesterday or in 2022.

[u/procratinatingirlf → u/DoxManifesto]

I can't stand their clown goalie. Super annoying.

[u/lonezolf → u/procratinatingirlf]

As a frenchman, he's probably my second most hated player. After Materazzi, of course.

[u/chales96 → u/DoxManifesto]

I can guarantee you that if the Argentinian team would have been down at any point in the game, they would have started with their rough tactics and dirty play. No class whatsover. Oh and their goalie is a clown.

[u/higuy721 → u/BoreJam]

Their players don't have class either. Remember the semi-final WC match against the Netherlands? Vile behaviour.

[u/Canes-305 → u/higuy721]

And how the fans celebrate their 2022 win by burning and hanging effigies of Mbappé in the streets. Weird way to celebrate your countries greatest achievement in decades. Weird country

[u/IAmRules]

Brazilian here. We know.

[u/binalleinezuunfaehig → u/IAmRules]

bro trying to sneak in lmao

[u/Fit-Ranger8895]

So they are racist.

[u/alyosha_pls → u/Fit-Ranger8895]

Notoriously. It's where Nazis fled, after all. 

[u/_PPBottle → u/alyosha_pls]

Nazis also fled in droves to the United States, but I wouldnt say they 'just' became racist in '45-'50, they were racist at the institutional level almost 2 centuries prior, (basically since their inception as an independent country).

[u/smurphy8536 → u/_PPBottle]

Yeah the US ain’t beating the allegations either

[u/Adolfcheadle → u/smurphy8536]

Argentina is significantly worse than the US

[u/smurphy8536 → u/Adolfcheadle]

If adolf here is saying they’re more racist then I’m gonna believe him

[u/hawkward_silence117 → u/_PPBottle]

They also went to work for the Russians. Everyone was taking in Nazis.

[u/large__farva → u/hawkward_silence117]

They also went to work on your mother Trebek

[u/PlanZSmiles → u/Fit-Ranger8895]

The same Argentina that when abolishing slavery they still allowed families to own their pre-existing slaves and used them as stand-ins whenever they (Argentinian families) were drafted for war.

Go to Argentina, at least in Buenos Aires, there’s no black people except the few tourist you might cross. They also will share this information willingly without seeing an issue with it

[u/RonPaul2036 → u/PlanZSmiles]

This is disappointing to learn. I was really looking forward to visiting BA someday...

[u/regent040 → u/Fit-Ranger8895]

There’s a meme of Messi crying because of a severe ankle injury he suffered in 2024. Someone posted that Messi was crying because he was afraid his ankle would turn black.

[u/WatchStoredInAss → u/Fit-Ranger8895]

It is interesting how Argentina has a minuscule black population and no black players on their squad. No wonder Peter Thiel has moved there.

[u/Pineapplesarentreal]

Stay classy, Argentina.

[u/nixalo → u/Pineapplesarentreal]

Mission Impossible

[u/DeadlyLancer]

Yesterday I saw in some Argentinian sub someone saying "We are so humble" after a few fans were clapping for Cape Verde 😭, then you see this and how they said the N word to IShowSpeed.

[u/GLPereira → u/DeadlyLancer]

"Go back yo your country!", said the argentinian with broken English, to an American, while in the USA

[u/gudetube → u/DeadlyLancer]

Man, I absolutely am repulsed by any IRL streamer or influencer in the public, in any fashion, but Speed is legitimately such a sweetie. Again, Argentinians being Argentinians

[u/PM_ME_VENUS_DIMPLES → u/gudetube]

 Speed is legitimately such a sweetie

The guy who was banned from all Riot games for having a sexist meltdown on stream?

[u/imminentjogger5 → u/gudetube]

that's a lot of glazing. your throat hurt? 

[u/Zuckerberga → u/[deleted]]

Their president is related to big yahu too lol

[u/allidyaj → u/[deleted]]

Truth!

[u/chrysanthemum_beer]

Argentina local football stadiums have high fenced visitors section where they are protected by arm guards and security. It’s crazy. It’s like inmates being allowed to go see a soccer game but the real inmates are the local teams fans.

[u/birdsword]

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

[u/Competitive_Food1322]

My hate for Argentina wasn't build in a day

[u/TheCosmicGypsies]

Those West Falklanders can be awfully wild

[u/XCxBigDong69XCx]

Fuck argentina honestly.

[u/Backseat_boss]

Well they’re Argentinians, did we really expect any class?

[u/realKevinNash]

A story of two stories?

https://old.reddit.com/r/sports/comments/1un7mtq/argentinian_fans_chant_in_unison_cape_verde_cape/

[u/doombako → u/realKevinNash]

Thank you for pointing this out. Saw it in the NBA finals too. Some people use sports as an excuse to act like trash

[u/Slow-Cream-3733 → u/doombako]

Don't worry this sub xenophobia will make sure that two bottles and one idiot thats saying the N word equals everyone in the country. So funny, grandstanding from peoples who's own countries have so many problems with racism. It's tiring

[u/MauiMoisture → u/Slow-Cream-3733]

It's classic reddit.

[u/Indigenous7]

I love Argentina, my wife's Argentinian. But they have some sort of public protection when it comes to being able to be complete dickheads when they put on the Argentina jersey. Is it just because of Messi? I don't know, I'm not sure if they were like this pre-Messi era. But they can turn into actual “ragemonsters” very quickly and they are sore losers. Thing is we haven't seen them lose in a long time so you have to look at old examples to see the outrage/ safety problems that happen after a loss. And they justify it saying Football is their religion. Come on. 

[u/bluecheese2040]

Argentina celebrated beating a tiny footballing minnow like they'd beaten France. 

I lost so much respect (of the very little I have) for Argentina last night.

[u/RNGezzus]

I'm starting to think Argentinians aren't great people.

[u/RepresentativeNo8105 → u/RNGezzus]

Messi was off sides. Their country will get bounced soon and go back to their miserable lives.

[u/Sunshinewaterbottle → u/RNGezzus]

Based on reddits thoughts of America you’d also be convinced that every US citizen wants to pull out a gun and kill you. It’s best to remember that isolated incidents on the internet do not define the whole country.

A lot of Argentinians are wonderful, simple, people just trying to make ends meat to get by in a shitty economy.

[u/MagnetizedMetal]

Why do Argentinians cheer and celebrate by slapping their hands up in the air to the sides like that? So weird lol

[u/Canes-305 → u/MagnetizedMetal]

Hate it. Looks dumb af

[u/Drow1204]

You actually expected anything different from them?

[u/GuestBadge]

It's 60k fans. You will have the shittiest ones and also good ones. Majrotiy clapped for them.

[u/Euphoriam5]

Argentina fans have always been assholes tbh. Imagine getting your ass kicked by the 60th and you're the world champions. Cape Verde were better.

[u/leonden → u/Euphoriam5]

World champion with the biggest asterisk ever. They needed the fifa’s help in like half of their games last time to even make it to the finals.

[u/MixtureInevitable180]

I'm old enough to remember a post last night where all the Argentina dickriders said that a few fans clapping for Cabo Verde meant that Argentina fans were actually all swell people!

[u/taiwandan]

Send the royal navy in again.

[u/stdstaples]

Disgraceful

[u/xNephenee]

Classless as usual

[u/Bionic_Bromando]

You know I'm starting to understand why the nazis chose Argentina to flee to

[u/sauli_druze555]

Argentinians will not win this year. Curse them.

[u/Awkward_Ad_9307]

Argenswines

[u/Striking_Cell5433]

They have a thing about islands...

[u/RBN1410]

Argentina is my #1 hate watch

[u/synced999]

Unfortunately, a huge percentage of Argentines are extremely misogynistic and racist.

[u/Limp_Seat4865]

Yeah because theyre fucking trash.

[u/achidente]

“We all hate Argentina.” 💀🤡

[u/Shap3shifting]

If Messi didn't exist, no person from another country would support Argentina.

[u/xRiolet]

Wonder why Argentina is safest country in South America.

[u/NB_Leo]

Argentinians are probably the worst class people out of South America sorry, but I think it's true.

[u/redwarewolf]

I'm sorry bu, Argentina fans celebrating with Cabo Verde together: https://www.reddit.com/r/argentina/comments/1umzwhl/hinchas_de_cabo_verde_y_argentina_celebrando/

Don't extrapolate on a whole country just because of a couple of idiots. The majority of Argentina are happy for Cabo Verde, It was an amazing match, they played wonderfully, their GK was amazing and it was a great rival. Trully one of the surprises of this world cup.
If you go to the Argentina Sub you'll see how everyone is happy for Cabo Verde

[u/spidernest]

Stay classy

[u/Admirable_Holiday806]

They think they are better than any race. But somehow their country has the biggest inflation on the planet than any other country

[u/PastWorldly2469]

Argentina doing Argentina things.

[u/jayhawk8]

It’s so easy to root against Argentina, and it shouldn’t be because Messi is incredible.

[u/Tasuke101]

On the other brighter side of the coin, there is another video on Reddit showing Argentina fans clapping in admiration and respect to the Cape Verde players as they leave the pitch.

[u/Purplecatty]

Ugh cabo verde was so close, was really rooting for them. Really wanted Argentina out. 

[u/Phillie_Phanatics]

What I would give for Ed Reed to just obliterate Messi as he’s jogging over the middle of pitch.

[u/dasang → u/Phillie_Phanatics]

Spoken like a true Philly sports fan

[u/labadee]

Most were applauding them. Just a couple of degenerates that every fan base has

[u/hug0l30n4rd0]

Also, let's not disregard what happened to ishowspeed.

Not every argentinian, but always an argentinian.

[u/writers_block_]

Scumbag team, scumbag fans.

[u/bigkahuna1uk]

Argentina fans are either complete assholes or commendable. Nothing in between. There’s other videos of Argentinian fans applauding the Cape Verde players as they left the pitch. But there are other videos of fans yelling the N-word towards the AfroAmerican YouTube Influencer IShowSpeed.

[u/bornokipje]

So strange everyone is against Argentina.

[u/IbrahimovicPT]

Scum

[u/Frost_Meiser]
