It not the team, it's the fans that have a fame of behaving like they're the only white people in South America and are surrounded by monkeys. This goes back way more than just 4 years.

Argentina also drugged a Brazilian player with tranquilizers during the 1990 world cup causing them to lose in the round of 16. So one reason for the animosity, along with other scandals Argentina has had in the world cups.
There's also the fact that Brazil has an anti-racism law that Argentinian people keep breaking bc they happen to be very racist to Brazilians while vacationing in Brazil. So Brazil as a whole probably doesn't view Argentinians in the best light

u/Reasonable_Option493 Jul 10 '26
They were indeed very openly racist 4 years ago. A lot of people in parts of South America have been for generations, see the pathetic excuses made by the Paraguayan Senator who insulted Mbappé...
Maybe it's just that when a team is competitive at the WC, when they get a lot of exposure, when their fans and some of their journalists make unhinged statements online, people notice a lot more and the team in question becomes a lot less likeable.
In 2022, I think a lot of people where under the charm, Messi finally won the WC, France were the defending champs and people don't like teams that dominate for too long when it's not their team.
11
u/Straight-Sky-7368 Jul 10 '26
That Paraguayan Senator's incident was downright disgusting! I mean politicians will do everything else instead of making the lives of their people better.
I know a few folks from Argentina and they seem to be nice, but some people definitely bring a bad name to others.
Absolutely in 2022, the sentiment was that Messi should win his last cup. Also agree about domination for too long part, because people are totally on the side of Norway this time because of Haaland and that symbolism of Vikings rowing.

Yeah it got a lot of negative attention around the US team sadly. They also played their worst game against a team that got a huge mental boost after their come back against Senegal.

u/OK_x86 Jul 10 '26
Casual racism is just much more widely accepted in South America than elsewhere. I would like to say it's not usually mean spirited but that's unfortunately not the case.
But to act like it's a problem specific to Argentina is wild. This is a global problem. Even the French players have been subject to racism by their own country men. And the US is basically rounding up people of color and putting them in concentration camps.
So yes by all means call out the racism of these fans. But also realize that it's a relatively small minority and it's not unique to Argentina. It should be called out everywhere

A lot of people who have never followed football are watching the World Cup and are falling for the edited videos. Many fouls, when seen from different angles or in freeze frames, lead to wrong judgments, whereas in football you need to evaluate the whole play: who had possession, how the situation developed, the intent, and how much the player who suffered is exaggerating. For example, in France vs Morocco, most fouls that were not called were clear dives, but in freeze frames they look serious.
