    Yes, yes. Argentina is the best country in the world, everyone is jealous and wishes they lived there. It’s true Europe has way higher purchasing power, way less crime, better infrastructure, health care and education but we would trade it all for the ability to celebrate football wins real hard. If we only could celebrate our World Cup like they do in Argentina once every 40 years we would be so much happier. Such envy. Much sadness.

      higher purchasing power

      Depends on the specific country

      way less crime

      There’s actually less crime than in several european countries. Including spain.

      education

      Argentina as a whole, probably true. I was lucky enough to be born in s city with top notch free public schools but in a lot of cities that’s not the case.

      we would trade it all for the ability to celebrate football wins real hard

      The difference is palpable in daily life, not just football. You could also have both if you had some blood in your veins. But hey, you do you.

      Argentina is the best country in the world

      You’re damn right it is.

        I was actually feeling sorry for you before the game and wouldn’t mind Argentina winning but your delusions convinced me you didn’t actually deserved to win. I’m so glad you didn’t 😂

          A) Don’t need your pity.

          B) Everything I said is pretty easy to confirm.

          C) A single person determines how you view an entire country? That’s a G if I’ve ever seen one xD

              They celebrated for over 5 minutes? That’s news to me xD

              Funny how you went from “this cup doesn’t matter that much” to it being your only argument.
