      This guy was expecting them to go out into the streets of Rome in the middle of the night and start behaving like animals.

      Which tells you exactly what they think “Argentinian passion” is.

      Because they were spaniards, genius. It was a large field with people from both sides.

      They didn’t even celebrate in the stadium so I don’t know why I was surprised.

        Can confirm. I watched in Spain and no one celebrated. Few people watched and after the final whistle they clapped and went home. It was one of the calmest nights I’ve seen. /s

          Watch a video from 2022 and then rewatch videos from last night. If you can’t see the difference, I would go to an ophtalmologist.

            I can see you’re very proud of how your people celebrate football but, as I told you in another thread, it’s probably more toned down in Spain simply because people have more things to celebrate than just football. I’m sure that if Spain lived in constant crisis for 40 years and with bleak outlooks for the future and without any World Cup since 1986 they would also lose their minds. Spain currently holds European Championship, female World Championship and won last World Cup 16 years ago. So yeah, they celebrated the normal amount.

              Nope, it’s relsted to the culture itself. If you’d ever actually met an argentinian or visited argentina you’d know this.

              without any World Cup since 1986 they would also lose their minds

              Dude, when it comes to football Spain was born in 2010.

              Spain currently holds European Championship

              Good for them. Argentina won their last two america cups.

              female World Championship

              No disrespect but I couldn’t care less about that and I doubt spaniards care that much about it either.

              won last World Cup 16 years ago

              We won 4 years ago. Does that mean that if we’d won our 5th consecutive title we should’ve celebrated a negative amount? Like be angry because we won? Wth is that logic xD

                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 😂
