Funnily enough, I had the complete opposite experience with Argentina fans.
It’s funny because I always told myself that I would only support Argentina while Messi played for them.
However, this World Cup changed everything for me.
I had once fallen victim to the propaganda about Argentines being arrogant, rejecting being Latino, etc.
I was fortunate enough to attend three Argentina games this World Cup (vs. Egypt/Switzerland/England) and truly learned what great people they are and how proud that they are of their country.
The few of you on here who know me irl know that I’m quite sociable, so I naturally interacted with many Argentines around the stadiums. Many of whom could tell that I wasn’t Argentine because of my accent, but every single one embraced me as one of them because, in the words of the old Argentine man I met in Kansas City, “todos somos hermanos latinos.”
I learned their songs and chants, celebrated incredible goals with them, and shared hugs with strangers I’d never met before.
The affection that the Argentine public showed me in these last two weeks will stay with me forever.
I don’t think I can ever stop being a fan now…
Wishing nothing but happiness and real love for Olandria, Chelley, and Amaya. They all deserve it. Wishing nothing but therapy for Huda. She need it.
💙💙💙💙
iris and pepe made it to the finale when they're just a last ditch coupling, but ace and chelley who have been pursuing each other since day 1 and have had the most genuine romance in the villa get booted... lmao y'all are never beating the anti-black allegations #loveislandusa
Chris expressed himself very calmly to Huda and she resorted to cutting him off and gaslighting him throughout the entire conversation. I thought the streets said she was a changed woman😏 #LoveIslandUSA
also why do y'all act like ace isn't genuine? he ALWAYS speaks his mind. his actions ALWAYS reflect how he feels. being genuine doesn't mean being likable/agreeable
