Argentina’s players have been branded "classless" and an "embarrassment" after turning their backs on Spain during the World Cup trophy presentation. Lionel Messi and his team-mates refused to watch as their opponents celebrated at the New York/New Jersey Stadium.

Argentina na Aye dem be them naa

Very childish and immature behavior from them. They have not grown over the loss. Perhaps it was too painful for them to watch what they thought should have been their own being handed over to their opponents.

They are facing their fans and acknowledging their cheers

Op is the real losers

If Argentina like let them turn their heads or legs I don't care I just don't like them that is all.

Classless. No iota of sportsmanship

They copied it from Obi supporters, till today they are still bitter about an election that took place almost four years ago. You are probably one of them. Hypokrits.

Nah fifa I blame.

Over pampa this nonsense talented racist team because of Messi.

You are not making any sense with this post and the pictures posted! Misleading information at its peak. Your own country nor qualify, na another country way don play 3 finals in recent years na e be Una problem.

Classless Argentina...fvck Argentina....fvck Infantino...fvck FIFA ...fvck Messi.... And if u will later quote me with rubbish...fvck u too....

Argentina a team that FIFA helps by giving 78th ranked teams, just to assist them get to the finals. Useless people

So classless and embarrassing display by the Argentina team.

Even this house goat wasn't happy with the performance of the field GOAT.

I don't understand why they're that upset, but that's what you get when you have people who aim for the best. I feel like outgoing champions and 1st runner up, they shouldn't be this upset but e shock me say dem really really bin want still win this one.

Sore bad and terrible losers. I never liked them in any FIFA tournament.

Cmon OP

Watch football…You go dey view pictures

They were acknowledging their fans

This is exactly why social media needs some level of regulation. You give every random loudmouth a platform and suddenly their nonsense starts shaping the opinions of people who don’t know any better. It’s a recipe for chaos, and we’re already seeing the fallout. There is nothing about this that depicts them as sore losers as they were merely acknowledging the fans, which consists of both Argentines and Spaniards. Its not that deep!

And how and why did this make the front page?

They don't need you to like them. While I don't support such behavior but your hate cannot change the fact that they were world champions. Ronald fans crying all over the world una tears dey sweet.

What were they still doing on the pitch after collecting their medal

They deservedly lost!

Spain deserves the win, Argentina was humble with no single shot on target, they should be grateful to God that the stuff didn't end in massive loss like Germany did to Brazil then

If u dont mention Obi e be like say u no fit breath.

Those guys came classless and ready to fight as if they knew already that they would lose.
Their bullying mentality, always covered by FIFA, didn't work this time.

Meanwhile Nigeria has done so well under Tinubu that we have 24 hour a day light in all our villages and Boko haram and uswap has been defeated and kidnapping has ceased to exist

If fifa doesn't take action against those fighting Argentine players then I would know that are truly biased.
Very classless people. They are lucky they didn't play an African team. Them for collect enough beatings unlike these lightweight Spanish players they were just throwing around like ragdolls.

See this one u think that u are funny

na that short man back i just wan see but it's like him no dey there

It's more than just soccer...it's mental and psychological. Spain conquered their country and colonised them for 100s of years. They are tired of Spain dominating them in any way.

Spain suffocate dem sotey dem no get one shot on goal.
They turned their goat into pepper soup goat meat..
If na you nko?
You no go vex?

They really messed up big time.
God will judge them and their supporters

They really messed up big time.
God will judge them and their supporters.
They already promised them the cup.
It shows those leaders in FIFA are complicit

That's nothing to rant about. It shows you the level of their desire. And moreover, that's how most South American footballing nations behave. 😎

OP did not watch the match

It was during the acknowledgment of fans and spectators that they turned their back

Problem of a single story and lots of people, with hate, bought into the OPs stupidity.
