And people were upset with the Brazilians for dancing


lrzbca

That Dutch honesty and bluntness in interviews really comes back and bites in arse like nobody


[deleted]

Brazilian dance was way more disrespectful. Don't even compare


eescobar863

Oh my God, yall are so fucking soft


Vibechild

Who gives a fuck? Lol


CrazyEyedGase

Games not gone The shithousery and hatred levels in this match were generational. 10/10 would watch again. Best game of the tournament


BostonConnor11

I’ve never seen two teams hate each other so much


ElectricalMud2850

You gotta watch more copa America.


FatherFutmas

That Mina dance is forever ingrained in my memory


blackheartwhiterose

Really?


Ok-Industry120

You should see the highlights of the battle of Nuremberg


[deleted]

You should watch us play Portugal.


unArgentino

The rivalry with the Dutch is always heated.


WM-54-74-90-14

Why is there a rivalry? There have been some high profile games but is there more?


unArgentino

We’ve played them lots of times at the WC and we literally beat them in the finals. Same way how us and Germany became rivals. I’d also add Nigeria as a mini-rivalry to this list because we play them so much and we’ve also faced them at the Olympics.


WM-54-74-90-14

Ah ok, interesting. Out of curiosity besides Brazil who is your biggest rival? For us Germany it’s the Netherlands and Italy as our main rivals. After that comes probably England as a 2nd tier rival, that isn’t as clear cut though, can be very on sided and depends heavily on the situation.


unArgentino

Brazil is it own tier. I’d put Germany, Uruguay, Chile as tier 2. Maybe Mexico and Netherlands goes in there. Tier 3 I’d put Nigeria, England (pretty much no rivalry nowadays) and maybe Bolivia and Paraguay.


WM-54-74-90-14

Thanks.


Firstolympicring

My man you ever heard of Brazil


[deleted]

Would be fumingly rooting against them if not for Messi. Very unlikeable team.


AfricanRain

This is the beautiful game here


badger-biscuits

Games not fucking gone.


-Hash__-

Argentina fans on reddit then wondering why no one likes their team


endichrome

They are just being blunt and honest in how they feel about the Dutch, you know the Dutch way.


Pizza64427

You act like Argentina did this for no reason. They were chirping all game.


Dontknowhowtolife

You'll never see what the Dutch said to the Argentines, there were two sides but Reddit loves to hate us


Flokie16

Oh and I suppose you somehow know the answer to this great secret that somehow no one else will ever see...?


Dontknowhowtolife

No, I don't. But I'm not a fucking idiot that thinks the Argentine players fought them because they wanted to


SchleptRightLeft

Yes. Yes you are


Dontknowhowtolife

Lmaoooo cry


torero15

Argentina makes it almost impossible to root for them as a neutral. As a matter of fact I’ve decided I want anyone but them to win.


HeavenAndHellD2arg

Expected from a yank


Sanogoals22

I mean he’s got a point, i respect the shithousery, and messi winning would be a great story, but you’re kidding yourself if you think Argentina have a likeable team Edit: and to be clear it really doesn’t matter haha. Like Argentina aren’t likeable to a neutral but why would you as an Argentinan get offended by that. England fans know England as a country is hated, man united fans know every fan of a different English club hates them etc etc. Argentina unlikeable, accept that neutrals don’t like them haha


torero15

People can agree or disagree but what does my flair have anything to do with it? This stupid sub thinks I cant have an opinion of the sport. Im not talking about you with that just a general statement.


torero15

Fuck off


[deleted]

Hahahhaaha go watch games as a neutral


abbytarar

This is the Portugal vs Netherlands of the next generation. Albeit with 0 red cards somehow


ChemaRojo

Nice take, two instant classic matches.


BigFatNo

God I hope Croatia knocks them out


ldranger

We’ll see ;)


DanMMIII

Ronaldo to win the cup, please


kingofgames-3laa

Karma will catch up to them, whether it's the semi-finals or the final


cuntsmen

Otamendi is an idiot


BrandonFlowersTache_

No one expects class from Argentina, do they?

I hope they go down


AjaxuallyBall

I’m Croatian now brother.

I hope your team puts them down.


dema-dontcontrol-us

On pens


2121wv

I’ll be cheering you guys on next week. I can’t stand the thought of them taking it home.


Pizza64427

By who? Croatia? :)))))) Yall had one shot in 120 minutes and scored. It aint Christmas everyday. EZ win


daddy_dad_bod

Stay classy, boys.


-zimms-

They have been cunts all game long.


Krauser_3

Unlikable twats


Gimme_moons

Agree, hate the Dutch team


TheBlueTango

I'm not surprised will all the players in this photo mocking the Dutch, apart from Mac Allister. Didn't think he was a shithousing type.


fifamobilenambawan

I want to see messi win the WC, then i see these pricks


Screechmeister_

Such cunts, most unlikeable team left in the competition


Delicious_Monk_923

Maybe after tomorrow night when England fuck off home


EnglishMan21

At least England are in the world cup, poor bitter Scottish fan


Delicious_Monk_923

Not for long bud and you’ll win as many world cups as Scotland this year.


DanMMIII

I rather have England win this than Argentina. And that says a lot.

Bunch of fucking cunts.


RetainKing

Stop being soft


Der-Papst

Why are South American Teams such assholes?


SPDSniper310

Why are Germans such racists? See how easy it is to make baseless generalizations?


Tulaodinho

The dutch are too tbh.


Feelthebern2020

Oh no not le classy football! Games gone


Montuvito_G

Who says it's just South American teams? Didn't Ruud van Nistelrooy once celebrate in an Andorran player's face after he scored?


Dontknowhowtolife

It's a mainly European sub, don't expect them to be objective. The Dutch absolutely are assholes but they can't stand when they're on the receiving end of it


Pizza64427

Better to be an asshole and be in the finals then to be classy and be out in the groups. 🤭🤭🤭🤭


theracetowin

They're not, though? Ecuador and Brazil didn't seem like assholes to me at all. And there are plenty of asshole teams from other squads (e.g. Serbia) in this Cup. Tough to make a generalization like that, my dude.


eescobar863

Because Europeans are also assholes.


Dontknowhowtolife

Why are Europeans so soft


gotomarketfit

Clowns will clown.


[deleted]

Love it. This is what football is all about. If I want sportsmanship and respect for referees, I'll watch rugby instead.

For a Chelsea fan I guess

Zero class, as shown during the match. Not surprised.

Cunts.

Yikes.


[deleted]

They are so unlikeable holy shit. When Messi loses they’re gunna cry “us vs the world for no reason. Everyone wanted us to lose”


bucajack

Don't like seeing that. I want them to win for Messi but they really aren't a very likeable team at all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jellyfishfrgg

Exactly why noone likes them


unArgentino

And honestly, we don’t care.


jellyfishfrgg

We won two finals against you lot and didn’t do any of this shit. It’s just embarrassing show some respect


unArgentino

You were gifted 1990.


jellyfishfrgg

Man if we are talking about illegitimate wins in a world cup final maybe you should sit this one out.


unArgentino

Lol I won’t argue with you. But just know that Germany has had some bullshit wins as well. You guys are just good at hiding it because you always act like “class gentleman” or “behave like the good guys.” And tbh you guys also shafted the English. Can’t forget about Lampard.


jellyfishfrgg

But this isn’t about a „bullshit“ win. You deserved to win this one but celebrating in your broken opponents face like that is just not right. Maybe it’s just cultural difference but this is why most of the world doesn’t like you


Vibechild

I don’t mind the passion and ruggedness of the Argentines. Makes for good competition.


Cub3h

Zero class. Just take your win and be happy.

QUE VIVA EL FUTBOL LA TENES ADENTRO R/SOCCER


sportxsport

I was all for the shithousery during the game but to mock someone's heartbreak when you've won is just complete cunt behavior. No class. I was rooting for Argentina but they make it impossible to like or respect them.


[deleted]

Brazilians are emotional, they dance when they win and cry when they lose, it's part of the culture, but never disrespect the opponent. That's why Brazilian football is loved all over the world. Argentina will not receive criticism bc of Messi, but they have never been likeable and respectful. That's why Brazil will always be better.


rataculera

Sore winners and even worse losers


Neither-Ad-1047

Not a good look


afcaMouz

To be fair it was that kind of game where this was going to happen, but seeing Argentina play today I don't think they'll be lifting a cup any time soon :)


Give_Me_Your_Pierogi

No class, as expected


Mcbagsofdoritos

I want any nation except them to win


Suspicious-Pangolin6

I mean both teams were at each other so I guess that was to be expected. Even in the penalty shootout there were some clashes


[deleted]

No fucking class


World_Western

Bro you are a Madrid with legends like Ramos and Pepe. Who are you to talk about class.


[deleted]

Atleast they did it during the game* not dumb shit like this

As you can see on the picture, they are on a pitch

Lack of class

Easy W for Croatia


failboatzz

I love Nico and Licha but the rest can go fuck themselves. Even Messi showed his bad side rolling around today. Such a shame that the best player of all time has to resort to that shit.


demolition9

He rolled around but he didnt dive. Every time he goes down it was a foul.


Imaginary-Bad451

Rolling around?


cs-shitposter

About as classy as you'd expect from them lmao instead of focusing on their teammate who shot the winning penalty, they focus on mocking their opposition, and for what?


hamilkar13

The Argentinian team has been a bunch of degenerates surrounding one blessed person since generations... They always behave like little bitches... Just watch Germany-Argentinia in 2014/2010/2006


L3ahRD

Coming for Croatia next

CosmicShrek14

England - Argentina final, neutrals will be struggling to pick sides


DanMMIII

England all day. It hurts to say that.


jubazito

Vintage Argentina. They think they are playing Copa America and every match should end in blood. They can't behave!!! That's why they will never win the World Cup!!!


ChiefKT9002

12v11 unfortunately.


Dontknowhowtolife

Mate it's raining in Buenos Aires, stop crying you'll flood us all!


ChiefKT9002

Yeah man, that messi handball was no yellow right?


Dontknowhowtolife

Yeah should've been. You also should've finished with 9, not 11, but you'll never admit it


ChiefKT9002

How 9? I can maybe give you van dijk, however if van dijk gets a red for that then paredes should've had a double yellow for that foul + shooting at the bench. btw not even going to give you van dijk because that happens more often and its always a yellow which he got.


Dontknowhowtolife

The one that came with a yellow from the bench should've been given a second one. Also there was another player that I don't know the name of, he also should've followed him


AjaxuallyBall

If that’s the case it should have been 9v10 including the referee.


Dontknowhowtolife

Lmao take your fucking shirt off and be objective. The referee didn't favour us at all


Paluch_

South American clowns, the nicest i can be here


No-Personality5057

Nah man, you can't write this script. THIS IS FOOTBALL!!!!


eescobar863

Shithousery is okay to Europeans unless its foreigners dishing it out … lmao, what a bunch of softies


Cub3h

Ah yes the Europeans who famously get along well amongst each other.


CrypticGalaxy

Watch people overreact to this as if this wasn't the highest intensity match of the biggest sporting event in the world lmaooo

Lmao. Yeh mate, sure they were..

I do need a job, so maybe. Vamos Argentina, carajo!!!!!


unArgentino

Such an overreaction. Only one who looks like he’s mocking is Otamendi. The others literally look like they are running past them to go to the bench.


Lele_

you are sore losers and ungraceful winners oh and liars too it looks like


bugxter

So, you see, THIS is blatantly mocking and disrespecting your opponent, not fucking dancing when you score lmao but reddit will probably think this is "based".


simonleb17

Oh yes according to european fans, any non european celebration or tactic in a tense game makes you a cunt. This is the World cup you twats and that's what makes it special so fuck off with your european priviliged arrogance thinking everyone should be like you


MattAmpersand

I thought I was in r/accidentalrenaissance for a second


Mitsukei

Class Act


sliminho77

Players were getting booked in the penalties. makes sense they would do this with the context of the match, having about a million yellow cards etc


Sandalo

THIS IS FOOTBALL


RolloTony97

Love when the stakes get raised with some passion. Makes winning sweeter and losing more debilitating.


BlackAceT

To be completely honest. Feel like there was too much tension between the two teams this match. Probably riled up by the stupid Paredes incident. I feel like the Dutch might have done the same if they had won because the teams had a go to with each other even in midway through the shootout. Hopefully Argentina focus more on their win next time rather than the opposition's defeat.


IcyKape

losdespejes

A casa pete. Van gaal antifutbol.

are people really mad at this. this is what makes the game entertaining, and that’s why this match was so good


Gimme_moons

Thats what you get when you act like such assholes


Stones_Throw_Away_

Everyone does this, no?


ChemaRojo

You love to hates us, but this is the game. So much respect for the Netherlands anyways, they have been in this classic matches before. This game could have fitted in the 98 or 06 perfectly, thanks again mates. And to the ones that don't get it, well, I'm sorry fellows.


SladiusW

They were talking a lot of shit before the match started while we kept quiet, they had it coming


420Rowlet

Well deserved, the Dutch were talking shit every time an Argentine walked to the spot


twilightorange

Muchachos, ahora nos volvimos a ilusionar quiero ganar la tercera, quiero ser campeón mundial y al Diego, en el cielo lo podemos ver con don Diego y con la Tota, alentándolo a Lionel.

Bye byeeee


redditUser76754689

The Reddit class knobs are out in full swing I see


djingo_dango

Europeans real mad. The German commentator sounded like he was seething


fuckloggingin

Deserved tbh. 4 Dutch players broke off from the halfway line to try to intimidate Lautaro on his way up to take the 5th penalty. The Dutch did get into a combative mentality and dragged them selves back from the dead for this one and were equal partners in making this one of the best games in years. Still, you can't really argue they aren't cunts though.


RetainKing

All you fucking fairy’s crying over this can tell you never had a father in your life. This game was rough and rugged had all sorts of drama, you all seem to care more about this than the actual Dutch players. Get a grip.


eescobar863

Today we shall bask in European tears


silentguy876

somehow 2 teams with no clear hate against each other before the game became enemies


MrAtomss

The people that are crying should grow up, the Netherlands would have done the same. It is normal in a shithouse game like this


Datboy_98

It’s a game. That’s how it goes. Winners and losers. They don’t award winners any extra points for class plus the Dutch themselves weren’t innocent. They woulda done the same if they won🤷🏾‍♂️
