        A single match does not define your national team. Although it’s normal to have such a short memory being a spanish supporter. You were only just born in 2010 after all xD

            I wasn’t talking about your literal birth date. It was directed at the spanish football team which basically has no history at all before 2010.

              Bro the highest quality league is the spanish one. Barca and Real Madrid alone dominate football.

              The Argentinian league might as well be called “boca v river” and one of them even got relegated a few years ago

              EDIT : The reason Messi became huge was literally because Barcelona moved him out of fucking Rosario. They couldn’t even get him the medicine he needed for his growth

                The problem wasn’t getting it, it was paying. Messi would’ve been messi regardless of where he went. Glad it was barcelona though. It’s a great club and I never criticized it. Nor did I criticize or talk abount any league of any kind. But hey, if you want to keep crying about random stuff no one said go ahead.

                Do keep in mind though, Barcelona is in Catalunya.

                  Che si Messi no recibio las hormonas de crecer cuando era chico, seria el Enano de Rosario (Como el enano de Boca), no el proximo Pele.

                  The problem wasn’t getting it, it was paying.

                  The economic situation in argentina is so shit that people aren’t getting the medical care they need. Admit it man.

                  How has the team which feeds off the academies of Real Madrid, Barcelona and others like, Atletico Bilabo, who are one of the few xenophobic regions that turn that xenophobia into results for their region, a country which has no football history?

                  Do keep in mind though, Barcelona is in Catalunya.

                  I just checked, and, yes , it turns out Catalonia is a region of spain. Maybe you’re confusing portugal with Catalonia? That’s why CR7 is not part of the spanish squad, but various catalonians, argonians, galicians, and yes, basque players are part of the spanish squad, and they got there through the rich history of football the country has.

            This has happened multiple times throughout the years, not yesterday. It’s simply a reality.

              Yes, I know. Argentina was down for a very long time. The 2022 world cup is pretty much the only good thing that happened to them in the last 40 years. Trying to diminish it would be cruel. So yes, Spaniards will say they envy you but they are just being nice.

                3 world cup finals out of the last 4, 2 copa america and a finalissima. Sure, that was the only good thing. Lol. Tell me you’re envious without telling me you’re envious.

                  You see… other countries don’t just have football. We have growing economies, scientific achievements, cultural achievements and politicians that are not an international embarrassment. Argentina was in constant crisis for decades, had 200% inflation, growing crime and corruption. So no, people don’t really think of Argentina with envy. Personally, I’m glad they have football to help them get through tough times but that’s because I have some friends form Argentina and I visited it couple of years ago. Most people don’t think about it at all.

                    So do we. There’s a reason the last wave of immigration, from Spain no less, to Argentina was just two generations ago. Heck even now there are 544 thousand spaniards living in argentina.

                    Each time you get a vaccine remember that the syringe was invented in Argentina. If you or anyone you know needs to get a heart bypass? You guessed it, Argentina. Each time you use a pen? Also Argentina. Our current scientists are also top notch. Just to name an example, Celeste Saulo, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization. Most nobel prizes in south america? Also argentina, with 5 of them.

                    Are current times complicated? Yes. Will we get up? Yes, we always do.

                    Vamos Argentina carajo ✊
