Fans have been pretty scummy, pelting opposition fans in games where they've even won with drinks and rubbish in the stands. Generally known as racist support (that women calling that speed guy the N word for example), rampant nationalism and that's before you even get on the pitch lol. Look how they behaved when they won against England for example. Talk about bad winners. The whole attitude around them stinks basically...

The annoying bit is that they are a good team. I'm a England supporter and I will admit they were straight up better that game. The had majority possession and spent the whole time shooting at our goal, they were always going to win. But they could have done it without all the foul play and political slogans.

There was lot very early on where England attacks were just stopped outright for what could only generously be called professional fouls. Anderson getting elbowed in the head by Fernandez and then going on to score. And Simeone's as slimey a prick as his dad.
At high level, they're protected by the refs and the cameras, but they still play like a Sunday league side, but you can't rake their legs back.

Their national team's players were so gleefuly showcasing racism online in a brazen way, it was insane. Enzo FernƔndez livestreaming the racist chanting of the entire team on his account is insane. I quote:
"They play for France, but they are from Angola. His mother is Nigerian, his father Cameroonian, but on the passport: French"
And it wasn't just one player, it was the whole goddamn bus singing along. You can hear it towards the end of the video, there's a cut and then it comes back to "pasaporte frances" which corresponds to the end of the chant.

Worst part is the attempts from Argentines to rationalize it, and pretend that the racism in their NT is not that bad.
I got hounded by them in another thread with all the excuses ranging from: "that's not racism", "foreigners are just too soft, it's just fun banter in Argentina so it's ok", "German did the same with us in 2014 but obviously they are Europeans so thats okay, they're only calling us racist because we're from South America", etc, etc etc. It's mind boggling.

It's been about even, Spain was a way better team around his debut. They won 2 Euros and and a World Cup within 7 years of making his professional debut. They fell around 2014, struggling in the World Cup since, until this year. Argentina was very inconsistent early in his career. It wasn't until his first retirement in 2016 after losing a world cup final and 2 Copa America finals that Argentina looked for better coaching and a new generation of players that has made a difference.
Now both teams are doing great with new generation of players + Messi. Both are their respective Continental champions.

A surprisingly large majority, yes. Argentina as a country is quite proud of being majority white and having killed all their indigenous and black people by using them as cannon-fodder in their wars. They also had a national policy of "blanqueamiento", "whitening", aimed at Europeanizing the country. This is actually quite interesting in that it took the exact opposite tack of racist countries like the US or South Africa, were a drop of black blood meant you were colored. Instead, in Argentina, mixing between ethnicities was encouraged, and any children were encouraged to see themselves as white, while any remnants African/black identity was discouraged. White skin was promoted as more attractive, and overtime people just forgot their ancestry.
In the late 18th century, a third of the population of Buenos Aires was black, whereas now there are only 300 000 afro-argentinians people in the entire country.

in 1947 there were 15,8 million.
Slavery was abolished in the year 1853
during the period 1914 and 1947 there were 2 things called the great war and world war II.
Argentina recieved MILLIONS of immigrants from Europe during that period and almost none from Africa.
I'm sorry to ruin your agenda, but Argentina is not what you read online, there is a lot of different cultures living next to each other with no problems and not only that, they all love Argentina and they all ARE argentinians.
Anyone can immigrate to Argentina and they will be assimilated and love my country, if they decide to have kids they will be given nationality without any problem and they will be fully accepted as argentinians.

The issue is that this is the narrative that stuck. That a land nobody had an idea was there practically 2 or 3 years before the government of the time claimed it was stolen or whatever.

might not even be argentinas fault, but for one their fans are insanely racist. theres enough clips just from this would cup that puts any honest hard working racist to shame.
then there's the seeming favoritism from FIFA. Messi for instance did a foul similar to balogun in one game, but doesn't see a card (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaReB5uvFjK/). in fact most argentinians get away with pretty unsportsmanlike behavior.
and the end of the game vs england shows this even more when they made the game political (which is not allowed under FIFA guidelines btw) but no penalties to my knoweldge were given out either. at least not yet. usually the players in question should be suspended.
like i said. some of it might not even be argentinas fault. can't really blame messi for doing a red card worthy foul and not seeing the red card, but they should definitely be a lot more humble because they are getting off easy compared to other teams

They have an amazing team, however they do literally anything to get the other team out of the game with physical and mental tricks. They abuse every rule to the max and get away with it, they can truly balance on a thin thread in this case. The first 60 minutes they commit so many fouls and they do not play their best game... They wait until the other team is tired and literally beaten down to step up their game. A team with so much skill doesn't need cheap tricks, this is why it stings, you are maybe the best, but the way you do it doesn't make you the best imo.

Equating a highly physical match to cheap tricks and "abusing rules" shows you don't watch much football at all, especially south american football. You just named a widely used LEGAL tactic (high intensity in the first half and push for goal on the 2nd) around the world and attributed it exclusively to Argentina. As an example, England players had to resort to fouls to stop Messi in some dangerous plays, and that is completely valid as a way to stop a player if you don't have the resources

The joke in South America is that they think they are european because a big % of them came from Italy and Germany, with part of it coming from these countries post WWII. Imagine why. Brazil has faced quite a few examples of them being racists, with recent cases of a guy saying to a black boy that he could buy him and take him home and a LOT of cases of them imitating monkeys to black people.
Inside Football: Their fans are known for being racists towards players and other fans, again imitating monkeys or similar. A lot of alegations about them cheating and being helped by referees and FIFA (Maradona has a famous situation where he made a goal with his hand and nothing happened. The even is even called "The Hand of God".). Their play style consists of being overly agressive to other teams, commiting a lot of fouls that do not result in proportional punishments.

It's the trend this World Cup, so it's an easy way to create discourse and get internet points/views. Plus, we Argentinians are known to actually respond to this kind of thin, so that secure some level of interaction at least.

They seem arrogant and very unsportsmanlike. Just look at the end of the England game- a bench player had to run up to the England players and rub it in their face instead of celebrating with his own team. I was neutral on Argentina before the tournament, but just watching them makes me cheer against them. Also they seem to be favored by refs/Fifa

Ohhh... Finnaly someone ask for that. I don't watch the cup, but I still see these memes. Now I feel a little less like I'm living under a rock.

Top Gear once did a special there and Jeremy Clarksonās number plate looked suspiciously like the year of the war. This prompted threats of violence.
To avoid trouble, Top Gear removed the plate and drove away. However, the mob blocked their convoy, smashed their vehicles with rocks and even set up another blockade before the border.
The entire crew had to cross a river illegally to escape and get out safely.

Completely disrespectful people, especially when they win, also don't search what happened to the Afro-Argentinian population or "The Whitening"

We don't have many afro-argentines because slavery didn't last very long here, and we didn't have racial segregation

I don't hate them. But they won many times. I want new winners or at least a country that won less.
Also bringing politics onto the pitch was a dick move.

Well for a start, when they āsettledā, the Argentine people were essentially the people that Europe didnāt want around.
I also use the word āsettledā in the Israeli sense, they do like a genocide over there. The whole south part of Argentina (yes the bit that makes them think they have even a remote claim in the falklands, coz yknow proximity) belongs to them because they went all genocide on the 4 indigenous groups living there. In two separate campaigns.
The majority of them are extreme racists, to everyone though, actual South Americans (was going to say other, but actual feels more fitting), black people, whites or Asians it doesnāt matter. The Argentinians hate them all equally.

Man, you are so full of bullshit.
"Well for a start, when they āsettledā, the Argentine people were essentially the people that Europe didnāt want around."
What about it? Does that define who we are? Are modern Germans also considered racist because of what happened 80 years ago?
"they do like a genocide over there"
When? Currently? Yesterday? More than 100 years ago? Is genocide in our blood, and is it a daily occurrence?
"The majority of them are extreme racists"
Seriously? My grandma and my dog too? Show me the statistics on how many people die in Argentina or anywhere else in racist-driven murders.
"The illegal invasion based on a facists fantasy"
Argentina was under a military dictatorship; the actions of the junta that governed the country at the time were not the will of the people.
"Harbouring Naziās"
Again? Did every Argentine have a Nazi in their home?

What? This is not true at all

This is jus blatantly dishonest, using Israel is such disgusting that downplays what Israel is doing. The reality is that the settler colonialist model used by Spaniards can apply from Mexico to Chile. Critiquing only Argentina for that is dishonestā¦

What?! This doesn't make sense.
You just hate Argentina because is trendy, not because you really care the real thing.

Nobody who posts this meme should get an answer. They said they were too afraid to ask.
