“I was planning on throwing all my support behind Argentina on Wednesday but some cabbage on Twitter pointed out that a few Scotsmen were killed in the Falklands war, so now I’m definitely supporting England” said fucking no one, ever.
The Hatred of the English national team brings people closer together in my experience, as i have ordered and delivered an Argentina flag to an old woman in my street because she liked the one i was flying outside my window
لوثار ماثيوس (اسطورة المانيا🇩🇪) : "كان يجب ان تفوز الارجنتين في نهائي كاس العالم 2014 ، كان على الحكم ان يحتسب ركلة جزاء على نوير"
حتى اسطوره من اساطيرهم اعترف ان الارجنتين انسرقو بالمباراه والمفروض انهم يفوزون
I will never forget that Copa America final v Brazil.
Brazil cane with a better squad and fully fit Neymar in his prime. The tackles i saw that day. They almost took my Neymar’s life before my eyes.
Done a lot of reading on the Falkland Islands war in the last 48 hours
Britain set up an exclusion zone and murdered 323 Argentines illegally.
It was also Thatcher in charge and the USA told her to leave it. She ignored.
Fuck Thatcher. Fuck England.
Vamos Argentina!!!
Why we are contractually obliged to support Argentina this Wednesday 🇦🇷🏴
We’ve prepared this official guide so every Scot understands why Argentina’s footballing success is, in several important ways, partly our fault.
Failure to comply would be disrespectful to 130 years of very selective history.
Lo que sería un Messi de 39 años ganando el Mundial siendo el máximo goleador histórico, lo que sería que tenga DOS copas del mundo.. De hecho, sería lo justo y lo mínimo que merece el mejor jugador de la historia. Hay que soñar, hay que creer, Dios está de nuestro lado.
🚨 Reporter: “Would Messi get into your all-time Manchester United team?”
🗣️ Wayne Rooney: “He’d walk into any team in history. Don’t even ask silly questions.”
One thing football has taught me is this: if you're playing against Lionel Messi and Argentina, keep the talking to a minimum until the final whistle.
Yerry Mina danced after Colombia knocked out Uruguay at the 2021 Copa América. A round later, Emi Martínez saved his penalty, and Messi's response was simple: "¡Baila ahora!" ("Dance now!").
Then came Louis van Gaal in 2022. He confidently spoke about settling the score with Argentina and even said that if it went to penalties, the Netherlands would win because they were prepared. It went exactly where he wanted, to penalties. Argentina won the shootout, and the Dutch left devastated.
Whether it's pre-match bravado, penalty shootout confidence, or provocative celebrations, history has shown that Argentina, especially this Messi-led generation, has a habit of turning those moments into fuel.
Confidence is part of football. Disrespect is a gamble. Against Messi, it's usually an expensive one.
