@FoxNews We abolished slavery in 1813, put it into the Constitution in 1853, never had segregation, have a black woman in our bank notes.

Jasmine Crockett says the real reason so many people were rooting for Spain to win the World Cup in the finals was because of "racist history" surrounding Argentina. REP. JASMINE CROCKETT: “If you recall, the last two teams, it was Argentina and Spain, and it seemed like the vast majority of the world was rooting for Argentina- or actually against Argentina, right?” “And why was that? Just give me an explanation. If you could guess.” PROF. DAVID BLIGHT: “Spain had the best team. Maybe that's why they were rooting for them?” REP. JASMINE CROCKETT: “There's also a racist history”

@armesillaconde En el siglo xxi tenés monarquía, sos parte de la OTAN, tenés colonias. La dizque izquierda europea siempre tiene soluciones para los países de los demás, nunca el propio, de Regis Debray a la fecha.

No generalizo. Vuestro deber patriota no es pelearos con el mundo, sino sacar a Milei y al anglosionismo de Argentina por lo civil o por lo militar. Os está descomponiendo todo eso.

@mehdirhasan The last sentence summarizes your whole take on the matter for the last few days. The rest was just performative because you don't have the balls to say it up front.

Great thread. To which I would add that there was no Trump or Milei in office in 2022. No genocide in Gaza, or Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir loudly backing Argentina in 2022 either. So yeah, things change. Messi remains one of the greatest to play the game but Argentina were legitimately loathed by a lot of people in this World Cup, social media algorithms aside, for reasons outlined ok the thread below and by me above. As an England fan whose team were knocked out by Argentina, I obviously wanted to see Argentina lose despite my admiration for Messi as a player.

@hashjenni Spain sold weapons to Israel and got their "aura" back 🤷

I think Argentina and Messi will never get that aura back, truly pathetic behaviour.

Estudantes brasileiros são ameaçados na Argentina após comemorarem título da Espanha na Copa. Alguns argentinos se uniram para expor os dados e perfis de quem manifestou apoio à Espanha ou fez piada com os resultados. Perfis de estudantes foram marcados com comentários com emojis de macacos. Alguns sugeriram "lições" a serem aplicadas aos brasileiros "nas ruas". "Quando eu te vir na universidade, pode ter certeza que você vai sofrer. Vou bater na sua cabeça com um martelo", dizia uma mensagem recebida pela paulistana Lays Bressane, de 23 anos. Logo depois, ela recebeu a foto de uma arma de fogo com a legenda: "Na Argentina não brincamos". "Fui (ver o jogo) com a camisa da Argentina e postei que estava de 'mufa', que seria pé-frio. Mas não é sobre futebol, não. Porque até o jogo com a Jordânia eu torcia pra eles, até ver a quantidade de comentários racistas que fizeram com a gente. Já tinha passado por episódios assim, mas com a minha mãe, que é negra. Em restaurantes, não querem atender, tratam mal. Cheguei a postar um vídeo quando aconteceu e viralizou. Eu tô com medo. Meus pais estavam me visitando e estão querendo mudar a passagem pra ficar aqui comigo", disse Lays. Estudante de medicina, o pernambucano Fernando Seabra, 31, disse que o cenário é de "caça às bruxas", que os grupos estudantis foram tomados pela palavra "mono" (macaco) e que a situação agravou-se nas últimas semanas, com "brasileiros atiçando de um lado e argentinos do outro". “Minha faculdade, graças a Deus, ajuda bastante, inclusive puniu e expulsou dois 'ayudantes' da monitoria depois de comentários xenofóbicos. Antes era ‘respeitem a Papá (uma alusão a Messi), vocês são apenas visitantes aqui', agora é comentário de ‘macaco’”, contou Fernando. Os estudantes não formalizaram queixa na Polícia. 🗞️ @UOL 📸 Reprodução

@elcriticopol 👌

Por esto quería que ganara España. Mil veces prefiero la bandera de Palestina a la del ente sionista.

@futebol_info Xenofobia aceptable 👌

@cesifoti The Argentine Zidane in 2006, the Argentine De Jong in 2010, and the Argentine Neuer in 2014 also had behavioral crises.

Argentina’s behavioral crisis in the World Cup final has brought to light traits many of us in Latin America have internalized and that we need to come to terms with. In many countries, emotional self-control and the ability to admit mistakes are seen as virtues. A behavioral problem in parts of Latin America is that there are social circles where the opposite is often celebrated. This is the idea that someone who remains in control of their emotions is a coward or, depending on the situation, a traitor. If someone offends you, your family, your team, the reaction that is celebrated in these circles is not restraint but flipping the table. The more berserk you go, the more you show that you care. That is a harmful value to hold, and also, one that many of us once shared. I certainly had it internalized when I left Chile 20+ years ago. In fact, I’ve spent much of my adult life trying to unlearn what I grew up believing was the socially acceptable behavior. The second trait is an unwillingness to admit mistakes. You can always find an excuse, move the goalposts, or, once again, start a fight instead of publicly accepting that you’ve made a mistake. Admitting fault is a sign of weakness. Defending a losing position is a symbol of courage or, in sports, a test of loyalty. Together, these two traits are behavioral dynamite. People explode because they cannot admit fault, and double down. Instead of learning from their mistakes, they become prisoners of them. I grew up watching football with my father. When I was 10 or so, I was learning what was right and wrong from the way he interpreted the game. This included behavior both on and off the field. Only later in life did I realize that every penalty he called for, or contested, had little to do with the play itself. Whether a call was fair depended entirely on which team benefited. He was happy if his team received a nonexistent penalty or an opposing player got an undeserved red card. These traits are among the things that pushed me away from the continent. They are certainly not exclusive to Latin America or the Southern Cone. I’ve encountered them in people all over the world. In an important sense, these are behaviors that all of us exhibit as children. What strikes me as unusual from the place I am from is having been part of social circles where these behaviors were not seen as flaws of character but as virtues to be admired, celebrated, and enforced. These excessive forms of pride are not conducive to learning. They make it psychologically difficult to update one’s beliefs, accept responsibility, or improve. Although they become particularly visible in sports, they are by no means confined to them. Something I am proud to have learned is to apologize quickly and often. Not because it is too difficult, but because it was like learning a new language at old age. That doesn’t mean becoming a pushover. But I’ve learned that a man who never apologizes cannot be a man of integrity, because we all make mistakes. Argentina’s behavior on and off the field during the World Cup final was, to me, a particularly blatant expression of values that many people continue to defend. In some circles, these attitudes have become intertwined with ideas of national identity and loyalty. Yet they are shackles that ultimately limit our development, not because they make us lose a football match, but because they make it harder for us to learn from our mistakes. The right thing to do now is the least likely: offer an honest apology. If my interpretation is even partially correct, we are more likely to see the opposite. Never back down. Never apologize. Never control your emotions. There is such a thing as having the wrong values. I hope that one day we can do better.

@FreddyOliviery La xenofobia y el clasismo socialmente aceptados 👌

No se pasen 😳😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

@ultras_antifaa But Argentina! But Messi! But Enzo Fernández!

Shameful chant from far-right Spanish fans during the Spain–Egypt friendly: “Whoever doesn’t jump is a Muslim.”

@I_amMukhtar People were celebrating peacefully until the right wing government sent the police with their water cannons. Get your facts right

Argentina fans are not taking the loss well. There were violent clashes in Buenos Aires between fans and riot police. They threw rocks, bricks, and glass bottles at the police.

@MariaMarro18034 @I_amMukhtar Socially accepted xenophobia 👌

@herqles_es Les pusieron una bomba a estos argentinos:

🇦🇷🇧🇷🇪🇸 | Argentinos agreden a un creador de contenido brasileño que hacía preguntas sobre fútbol en la calle con la camiseta de España.

@Agarkala @Uschilevy Entre 100-150 según los académicos que investigaron seriamente. A EEUU fueron 1500 solo con Operation Paperclip, pero nunca tendrían el coraje de hacer ese comentario. Y sabemos que la mayoría simplemente se recicló en Alemania (OTAN, ffaa, Estado, etc).

@Uschilevy Terminaron refugiados allá. Los nazis, digo

Estoy PREOCUPADÍSIMA por la campaña de odio montada contra Argentina. Esto está copiado del nazismo, de la propaganda de Goebbels...y todos sabemos cómo terminó eso (y sin redes sociales) Argentina NO es un país racista. Los argentinos NO somos racistas.

@Karl__Albert Anotalo a Serrano (Pascual) en esa también, no sé cómo da la métrica (?)

Armesilla, Arnau y Villaroya, a todos los de izquierda, nos chupan bien la boooooooooooooolas. (musica de "Jugadores...")

@LanoUnai Mucho, mucho, mucho, pero mucho mejores:

Ni un comercio saqueado, ni una papelera destrozada, ni un adoquín lanzado, ni un contenedor quemado. No, no somos como ellos. Somos mucho mejores.

@MotivacionesF Dos formas completamente coso...

¡QUÉ DIFERENCIA! 🤯 ✅🇳🇱 Países Bajos ganó el Premio Fair Play del Mundial 2026 con solo 3 tarjetas en todo el torneo. ❌🇦🇷 Argentina terminó como la selección más amonestada (14 amarillas y 1 roja) y la que más faltas cometió (113). Dos formas completamente opuestas de competir.

@AleKoser @SaulStaniforth @mehdirhasan De hecho en 2022 te decían que Messi le hacía whitewashing al régimen catarí. De repente eso no se aplica ahora.

@SaulStaniforth @mehdirhasan Si estaban tan en contra de Netanyahu no tendrían que haber ido a jugar al Mundial de Estados Unidos y recibir la copa de Trump. Dan vergüenza. Viven en una nube de pedos, pura pose, no entienden nada.

Javier Bardem: ".. its a full genocide & its been documented as such" Following Spains triumph @mehdirhasan asks Javier about how the final became a proxy for Israel versus Palestine. Watch the full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=lgQlYp…
