World Cup 2026
Re: World Cup 2026
Not a fan of Argentina myself, but seems a bit unfair to hold the current generation of Argentinians to blame for actions of those 80 years ago.

Without Kempes, Maradona and Messi Argentina would just be the shit neighbours to WC winning Uruguay and Brazil.

Re: World Cup 2026
Almost this exact team were chanting racist, homophobic songs about the French a year or so ago.
Argentina currently doesn't have a law that criminalises racism.
In the 1800s a third of the Argentine population was black. They sent all their black populations to die in wars, and invited Italians and Spaniards to settle there. Unlike most of South America, black people are now a tiny minority in Argentina, and they've only had 3 black players in their entire history to this day.
England rugby players were recently racially abused by Argentine fans.
There's a million other terrible examples of the prevalence of racism in Argentine society.
