When Argentina’s team, which defeated England in the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup, lost to Spain in the final, the English press criticized its players for not providing a ‘guard of honour’ for the Spanish champions, backing the Spanish champions, backing them and fighting after the match, calling them hooligans.
According to the news of the Spanish press, the English newspaper The Telegraph published its analysis under the title ‘Football 1, hooligans 0’.
It is worth remembering that Spain defeated Argentina 0-1 in the World Cup final.
According to the newspaper, Enzo Fernandez’s red card decided Argentina’s fate before the end of the match, but Argentina’s attitude after the defeat was “shameful”, instead of applauding the champions, they turned their backs on their supporters.
The Sun described the fight on the ground as ‘chaos and mayhem’, with Argentine players seen throwing punches at Spanish players.
Former England captain Alan Shearer, speaking to the BBC, said, “The right team deserved to win today.”
Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart called Argentina’s move ‘disappointing’ and said Argentina had no right to complain about the result.
The famous British journalist Piers Morgan also strongly criticized the Argentinian player Lanzero Paredes and wrote on social media, “Argentine players are nothing more than a group of violent thugs who are a stain on the name of football.”
He then wrote: ‘I have never been so happy in my life for a team to lose to Argentina as much as today.’
