ITT: Salty Argentinian fans replying to every comment about their crappy performance.
To be fair to them it’s just one guy. You pull on his string and he GOES, god dammn.
Oh man, mods should probably step in but boy am I glad they didn’t. It’s so obviously going over like a damp fart in a small car, but they’re so spirited in trying to maintain the illusion that it’s not. The sheer quantity of stubborn yet performative ignorance would almost be admirable (if, you know, they weren’t a racist stooge). Absolutely wonderful to see someone who completely deserves it getting obliterated that hard, I really needed that today.
That wasn’t in the script.
It was if you watched Spain play any of its matches. They always controlled the ball like like there wasn’t even another team on the field. Of course Messi wasn’t going to get an opportunity to do anything.
Spain play is just in an another league… it’s a miracle we made it this far and also, that we managed to mantain the counter at 0-0 for so much time.
Well done spain.
Btw, I am appreciative of your, as in, you, Siegfried, sportsmanship in this thread and sorry you’re associated with the other guy.
Explains why a single one of my neighbours in my appartment block was going nuts (shouting loudly and even banging on a pan) last night at around 11PM.
(I’m in Portugal)
I loved how quiet it was when turkey dropped out. Aaah. That was a beautiful morning. I was prepared for much noise
Watching it on SBS in Australia, during the trophy lift i saw that orange fuck trying to stand next to the team, and after the shot one of the commentators said “they just just edit him out”, lol.
And they did! Every shot of the trophy lift afterwards during the telecast it was just Spain. Good shit SBS!

An entire post about exactly this.
personally I could give two fucks about adults being paid to kick a ball around on live TV; this goes for any kind of sport, for me.
however, watching the one Argentinian guy in the comments here (and presumably, many more Argentinians elsewhere like him) get extremely salty over this, and get ratio’d every comment, that’s peak entertainment. Chef’s kiss.👌
Argentina played a dogshit game and their players were shoving Spain constantly. Multiple instances of someone getting shoved to the ground outside of play. They deserved more cards than they were given. Oh and 0 shots on net rofl. If that fan is mad, it’s because there’s nothing to be proud of.
Incredible, thank you for sparing me having to watch the match to find out.
What a bunch of whiny man-children. Professional sports really does bring out the absolute worst kind of tribalism in people, next to actual war.
Argentina shouldn’t have even been allowed to finish the game if the appropriate number of cards had been shown. Multiple two footed challenges, multiple technical fouls in the midfield stopping play, multiple hits from behind, several players literally shoved to the ground while the play was dead.
Piss poor officiating and piss poor play. And despite that Spain simply dominated for 3/4 of the play and when they didn’t Argentina was gassed anyway.
I am not about to excuse anything Donald Trump has done, is doing, or will do; but as an American I am so glad our whiny manbaby of a pedophile in chief and his fawning sycophants have not been the only international embarrassment of the World Cup. Really. Genuinely over the moon. By the sound of things this is at least equally as funny if not even more so than “reversed a referee decision, lost anyways”
There was also that brawl after
Haha thanks for pointing that discussion out. It was hilarious. The passion and soreness people can have about 22 adult millionaires running after a ball and trying to kick it into a net is just insane.
The trump jinx is real.
Fuck FIFA but anything that makes Trump more grumpy is good news. This will be remembered as Trump’s Jesse Owens moment. Not only didn’t he manage to kick Spain out of NATO and cut trade with them, he also had to give them medals.
He also spoiled the American team by interfering
I don’t watch soccer and they probably didn’t, but if it came out that USMNT threw after that, I wouldn’t blame them. Their reputation would take decades to recover if they won that next game.
The crowd booing Trump was the best part of WC 2026.
What was Scaloni thinking, sending them out again?
the thing about Argentina is, they always try and walk it in!
Glad Spain won, they were by far the better team. Argentina are just a bunch of bullys, I’m surprised they didnt get more yellow cards.
Argentina’s Fascist leader is aligned with Trump and hence the corrupt FIFA, so they could do what they wanted.
Paredes finishing the game was Infantino’s gift
giftgriftIt wouldn’t be FIFA without some shameful corruption of one sort or another.

Someone forgets to mention the second goal for Spain nullified because one of the argentenian defence faking a foul. Such sportsmanship…

It’s not about the amount of fouls, it’s about what the fouls were.
Enzo’s first yellow was complaining after faking a foul.
Argentina played dirty, their yellows were completely deserved and they did absolutely nothing but petty moves the entire game.
Glad Spain won. It’s a mystery that Argentina, with the level they offered last night, even made it so far.
I don’t think it’s as much about the level of Argentina and more about the level Spain plays at. There’s basically no team that can beat them at the moment. The best you can do is defend and hope they don’t score (like Cape Verde did). They are so dominant and so good at holding the ball that they even made a team like France look incompetent. .
Most of the Argentina players didn’t play at their best (just like they’ve done all tournament) but Spain also just made it impossible for them. Add to that the injuries and forced subs of both of their starting centre backs, the red card and that idiot Paredes coming and only kicking players instead of the ball and there was just no chance of them achieving anything.
I feel bad for Messi, he really dragged the team all the way to the final only for his teammates to completely give up once they got there. It made it easy for Spain to neutralize Messi and with that, all threat from Argentina was gone. If Messi retires (which I think he will), I think Argentina won’t be much of a threat for the foreseeable future.
If you want to buy that narrative, sure. Go ahead. There was no “dirty” play, you sound like someone who never watches anything outside the world cup.
no dirty play? Except Messi, who played like a champ, almost the whole team was a gang of thugs.

Only one team came to the final to play football, Spain had 20 shots 12 on target, Argentina had 2 shots with none on target in 120 mins of football. Argentina came to spoil the game and hoped to steal it on penalties. If I was an Argentina fan I would be embarrassed by the team and even more so by their petelent display at the end physically assaulting the Spanish players. The Argentinians had no right to be that upset, they were never in the game.
Football was the real winner.
And the 2 they had were only after conceding. Until minute 106 it was 0/0.
I watch football every week, Paredes should have seen 4 yellows, Argentina plays a game of grabbing and pushing to irritate the opponents and then starts little fights to break the rhythm of the game.
Maybe that’s how it is in South America, I don’t watch South American football but in Europe that’s trash and with a good ref you start seeing yellows for repeated faults even on small offenses until it stops.
With your eyes closed?
thugs in action
Paredes was way too violent. However, if you watch the video you’ll see both how garcia taunts him and how Gavi hits him from behind. Both sides were at fault here, bot only one is Argentina and that’s all some see.
Argentina consistently delivers teams that are a disgrace to football and sportsmanship.
I think that’s called “envy”. But sure dude, whatever you say.
0 shots on goal in 120 minutes is hard to be envious about.
A single match does not define your national team. Although it’s normal to have such a short memory being a spanish supporter. You were only just born in 2010 after all xD
I don’t think Spain is envious
Of argentinian passion? Yes. They have literally told me more than a few times.
You’d probably say that the football that Paraguay offered wasn’t dirty either. Lmao.
See? You can’t even name a football club. Also, Spain made 80 fouls and argentina 88 in the entire tournament, but Argentina is “dirty”. Another interesting stat, Argentina players were fouled 86 times, whereas Spain’s were fouled 70.
But sure, keep repeating the hate narrative.
Why would I name a football club? Are you alright?
Again, it’s not about the numbers. There is no stat on the severity of fouls. Did you even watch the matches? Or are you willfully blind to the shit your favorite team does?
I don’t know how you guys play football in South America, but in the rest of the world we tend to follow the rules and play the game, rather than try and takedown the opponents.
Again spoken like a true world cup spectator. There’s really nothing to say to people like you that know nothing about the sport.
I’m glad it was Spain that did it to them. Eff you, Argentinian fans. You’re awful racist shits.
I missed that. What racist stuff happened?
Made monkey noises and gestures to black players the argentinians did
The fuck? Not disbelieving but you got a link?
Best i could find that isnt with a person “reacting” or that “explains why argentinian fans are the worst”. Didnt just happen to IShowSpeed but also towards the french team as faar as i know. Didnt follow it much and rn its all flooded with the aftermath of them losing. But it has happened in the past world cups too from what i got told
Cheers. I appreciate the effort bud.
Literally nothing. It was just one stupid xenophobic (there is a difference) song 4 years ago and, apparently, it meant that a whole nation that has throughout its history has always been inclusive has now always been racist.
People love to hate and algorithms love to feed that.
What racist stuff happened?
Literally nothing. It was just one stupid xenophobic (there is a difference)
Just so you know, this kind of stuff is so childish and transparent you might as well say “Ackshually, Trump is an ephebehebephile, not a paedophile, there’s a huge difference”
Not just one time. As someone from south-america, Argentinians are always racist against other south-americans. Playing against an Argentinian in an online match is a guarantee to hear a racist slur.

As my wife said last world cup
The mexicans and Argentinians are making memes about the match. Whoever is drawing the meme makes the other one into the monkey
Ah, online gaming. A place known for respect towards everyone involved.
Should I say that all brazilians and chileans are racist for insulting me as soon as they learn that I’m from Argentina? Or should I realize that people talk shit behind the mic all around the world and that most are underage?
Seriously. Travel. I’ve encountered south americans all over the world and they’ve shown me (and I’ve shown them) nothing but kindness.
The real world is much more welcoming than what the virtual one would lead you to believe, and that’s not an accident.

Gaming is pretty wholesome anymore - even COD and League are pretty much fine these days. The occasional asshole pops up sure, much as with any other large gathering of humans, but it’s nothing even remotely like it was back in the day (hey you kids, stop touching my grass). I can play Helldivers 2 with my mic on and everything, never had anyone even be weird about it. It’s pretty cool to see that all the work put into fixing the culture in gaming has actually paid off.
I’ve never played cod or league tbh but rocket league and overwatch are pretty much the same as always (meaning, not very friendly). You do run into nice people every now and then (I’ve even made long lasting friends like that) but it’s generally not the case.
Maybe the region has something to do with it but it’s unfortunately not what I’m seeing in south america.
They were caught singing racist songs against French players after they won Copa America a couple years ago.
Why they did it when France didn’t compete in the tournament (for obvious reasons), we will never know.
The thing about Ar[gentina] is, they always try to walk it in.
What was Scaloni thinking bringing Gonzalez on that early?
Will this mean Miku will be Spanish? Any fanart of Miku joining the Spanish Inquisition?
someone snuck this little gem into the article
Alt text: Screenshot from the article showing two captioned images. First image shows a winning team celebrating. It is captioned, “Rodri lifts the trophy! Photograph: Bradley Collyer/PA”
The second image shows Gianni Infantino speaking with Donald Trump. It is captioned, “Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the spanish national team. Photograph: Javier García/Shutterstock”
Senile Gramps out on a stroll. Better call the nureing home
Here’s hoping that the next time we see Trump getting a golden shower is when the pee tapes are released
We watched the ceremony in a restaurant after the game. Trump tried to stand with the team for the jumping celebration photo. It was a half creepy lurker, half senile old man moment. Then the FIFA asshole dragged him away. So the caption is accurate.
Holy fuck, let’s see how long it stays up
Edit: for when they change it: https://web.archive.org/web/20260720001221/https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2026/jul/19/spain-v-argentina-world-cup-2026-final-live-updates?page=with%3Ablock-6a5d539e8f0826309aef6ac0#block-6a5d539e8f0826309aef6ac0
You missed this one 🤣 thank you Guardian I had a good laugh
I mean they are better than Trump’s ONE TIE™️ and 4" heels.
Fucking lol. Still up.
Still up

Doing the People’s work, not all heroes wear capes, a noble spirit embiggens the smallest man, etc…
The guardian link is down for me lol
Lmao, seems to have been taken down now, thank you for the archive linkThe link to the image itself doesnt work, but it’s still there in the article itself, I just didnt know how to navigate the weird timeline format thing or whatever is going on there
Still up for me on the original site.
Thank you for the correction, I just didnt know how to navigate the weird timeline format :)
No that’s good. I thought it was one of those optical illusions from the mall kiosk
