I've seen people complain and shit on messi and the rest of the team's attitude after yesterday's match, deeming it unsportsmanlike and rude and whatever, and i gotta laugh. I mean, i'm mad too, but mostly it just makes me laugh. First of all, those were quarter finals of the freaking world cup, stakes and stress are high, so of course they were gonna celebrate their win! Is our goal keeper one cocky motherfucker? Hell yeah, he's insane too, but at least he didn't go to try and intimidate the dutch that were gonna kick the penalties like the dutch goal keeper did with lautaro martinez :)
But more important, our team are no saints, but they are respectful as long as they are respected. Look at the copa america's final. We played brazil, probably the biggest classic, we won, and nobody came out to complain of mocking or anything, bc the brazilians respected them, and they respected the brazilians. The dutch team and coach tho? They talked a lot of shit before the game -which, come on, if you're gonna blow your own trumpet, do it after you've won. The coach specially; the man hates us and he had trouble with messi and another beloved argentinian player, riquelme, in the past. In fact, messi's celebration after his goal, the hands on his ears thing, is riquelme's.
So yeah, the guys had all the right in the world to do what they did, the ones that behaved unsportsmanlike were the dutch, but bc we're latinos and argentinians we're the bad guys. It's not like football players all around the world are typically known to be hot headed and arrogant, huh? :)
Tl;dr: CRY ABOUT IT BITCH

i do get a v petty kind of pleasure from not being familiar with some literaty touchstones of anglo culture... tbh
i get a similar but more uncomplicated high from hearing europeans of any kind complain about the global south's supposedly "unsportsmanlike" way of celebrating victories and scoring points, like by doing little dances and the such... it's great. can't help but love offending an european's civilized sensibilities 😌

Que hay más argentino que llevar la remera de la selección trucha.
El que lleva la original no sabe lo que se pierde.
