It’s well known that the Argentine national team inspires diverse passions. While many people around the world idolize them, particularly in the Americas and in South America and Mexico, there is a lot of dislike.
Therefore, social media went into overdrive as soon as they lost to the Moroccans in the U-20 World Cup final and began mocking them in every way. It was common for the Argentine youth to show images of the celebrations in the locker room as soon as they advanced to the next round. They particularly mocked Colombia by dancing with a horn.
So when they lost, many returned the criticism. Many videos show the Argentines arriving at the stadium with their horns as a companion, but users changed the tunes, even some with music from El Chavo del Ocho.
They blasted the Argentinians, who displayed so much arrogance during the U-20 World Cup until they lost to Morocco, but they also fought back with messages of encouragement, including one from Leo Messi.
“Keep your heads high, lads. You had an impressive tournament, and although we all wanted to see you lift the trophy, we’re left with the joy of everything you gave us.”
