  • The streets of Buenos Aires went berserk when Argentina won their third World Cup final at Qatar 2022 against France. Up to 5 million people came out to celebrate, showing that football in Argentina is like a religion. So what does this tell us about football’s power and fanaticism? Kick-Off reporter Sebastian Saam traveled to Buenos Aires to find out.

    I am from Bangladesh. 🇧🇩
    Been supporting Argentina since 98 when I watched Batistuta score a hat trick against Jamaica. It's hard to explain in words what it meant for me when finally the team I've been supporting for all these years finally became the world champion. After all the tragedies (that's how it felt to me) in the previous world cups, I was beginning to think that Argentina will always remain one of football's tragic nations. But thank God for making me believe again. It's like a mountain has been shifted from my chest and I am ever grateful to God for that. I can tell from the people around me of my generation that support Argentina, they feel exactly the same way. It's like we can start over again. We don't have to be bogged down by the weight of the serial tragedies and underachievements anymore. There's fairness in this world after all. Argentina is not just a football team to us, it's indeed a feeling. We feel it the same way in Buenos Aires and thousands of kilometers away in Dhaka. The physical distance means nothing. The language of love and passion for Argentina remains the same. Vamos Argentina!!! ❤️

    I am from a small state called Kerala in India.
    I started loving Argentina and Messi when I was 6 years old. Now I think I love Argentina more than my own country. And I know some Spanish now. One day I will visit Argentina. That is my destiny.
    I was in Qatar for the world cup final. I was literally in tears when Messi kissed the world cup. I still cry when I see the recaps.

      @@desmondachocky537 a lot of historical reasons. Kerala was a very poor state in India when we got independence. So communism grew here in Kerala. Our first elected government was communist. So because of that Latin America and Kerala have a lot in common. The second reason was British considered cricket a royal game while football was for the common man. So Kerala people used to play football with the British police. The other reason is when television got popular in Kerala. They probably saw Maradona's magic in the 1986 world cup and Maradona was communist. Then we got Batistuta, requilmy, Sorin, Ayala, Aimar, masche, Crespo, DiMaria, Jun, Tevez & the goat himself MESSI. So from that moment on Kerala and Argentinas's story was a romantic story.

This just does not happen in Europe...it would be unthinkable for Scottish supporter's to be actively supporting England in ANY final...even if there was a narrative like messi's we would want Beckham or Scholes ot whoever to fail. Sad but true...says a lot about our inferiority complex. I suppose brasilan's don't have that mentalityLOL.and I can't imagine many people wanting the other big countries to win a big cup.

    Here in Nepal,Argentina is the most supported NT, Brasil is 2nd.
    Only Argentines and Argentina fans can understand how we lived through all the heartbreaks throughout the years and the fact that this was going to be Leo's last chance made it so nervy and tense you cannot imagine.
    Messi lifting the WC means football is completed for me and lots of people in the world. Of course being a Barca fan I want my club to not get bankrupt(which was a possibility) and win lots of trophies but even if we don't win anything,I won't complain that much because Messi won the world cup.

    I come from the southern part of India. In a country where cricket is the most popular sports, my state Kerala stands out. The scene is crazy. Brazil and Argentina dominate. Massive cut-outs of Messi and Neymar pop up in every small towns and even in villages. This year even in the middle of a river. There has been bizarre incidents like brides and grooms appearing in the colours of the Argentinian and Brazilian jerseys. People need something to celebrate. There's a primitive tribal feeling of unity and belonging when you are passionate about a team. I think football in many parts of the world is there in the roots of existence.

Football is in our veins....but we have never had the chance for something big. Except 1994, when by the way the referee did not give a second penalty when Costacurta played with hand in the penalty pitch. Argentina attracts with its extremes. Messi, smart and calm player, Maradona and Caniggia, the total opposite behaviour. So different and so great at the same time. And the fans.....the best on the planet.

It was heartbreaking to see Argentina get so close to finals but not lift the trophy in my lifetime. I saw Argentina here in US losing the Copa America final in 2016…It was 3 finals lost in a row. Heartbreak after heartbreak we finally lifted the Copa in 2021 and Finally the biggest prize of All the World Cup this year. My Futbol life is now complete witnessing Argentina and Messi lift this most coveted trophy. If Argentina plays with my home country Ethiopia, I will still support Argentina. Futbol is the best thing, a passion probably more than music that connects the whole World.

      El football despierta emociones mas profundas en los argentinos, cuya escencia es el amor por su país y que por cuestiones políticas estaba dormido, el amor por la familia, la union como país y que todos los argentinos funcionemos como equipo.
      Eso lo reflejó la Selección Argentina, la unión que hay entre todos ellos y con sus propias familias, de hecho en el momento que ganaron la copa las familias de cada uno a pedido de ellos entró al campo a abrazarlos esa es nuestra escencia. Y no lo hacemos por arrogantes es lo que sentimos. El footbal no es solo ganar es en muchos momentos haber caído muy abajo y de la nada levantarnos, como decimos con la frente alta y seguir adelante, eso lo hemos hecho como país. Cómo la hinchada en Qatar y en todo el mundo alentó a la selección aún perdiendo, como si estuviera ganando fue la sorpresa para muchos en todo el mundo. Así somos los argentinos.
      El footbal nos muestra cómo realmente somos, saltamos con todos sin distincion de raza, de condición social, sin exclusiones, somos amorosos con todos y en Qatar nos querian por eso. Vi entrevistas a gente de países muy diferentes y todos decian lo mismo, no entendían lo que cantabamos, y que el escucharnos y vernos les traía alegría.
      El footbal es pasión, es familia, es patria, es alegria, es unión, hermandad y mucho más en Argentina.

    Being from Nepal, most of the people who love football that belong to my father's generation are Argentina fans as they fell in love with football after they watched the '86 WC. It was the first WC to be broadcast on TV in Nepal. I fell in love with football after watching the '98 WC when I was awed by R9. But beginning with the rise of LM with barcelona esp. after the 05/06 season I wanted LM10 & Arg to lift that gold trophy. But man, I never thought during those days that I'd have to wait this long to experience that moment. 16 & half years of excruciating wait, near misses & pain since that dreadful evening in Berlin when LM was never put on the field to showcase the world the legend it will see grow over the next one & half decade the pain has been ever present.
    And after WC 2014 & before CA 2021 it felt that people like me will have our dream of seeing LM lift that gold trophy incomplete for the rest of our lives & die with that fact. But boy, has the wait, pain, heartaches & near-misses been worth it with the beauty, magic & art produced on the pitch like no other, the emotional roller coaster like no other, a finale like no other, the storyline & script like no other, a footballing career like no other, a life like no other.
    Football has now been complete for me. I can happily retire from watching football now & die a happy man. Felicidades & Gracias Argentina 🇦🇷 & Leo Messi 🙏. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵

    Sebastian, as an Argentinian let me congratulate you for this extraordinary piece. I think you nailed it in many ways, especially through the both simple and deep insights of Marcela Mora y Araujo. Yes, our culture is built up upon hardship and suffering, and tango is notably a musical mixture of melancholy and nostalgia, and the same could be said about other Argentine folkloric music genres, like zambas or bagualas. We crave for deliverance from all that grief that runs through our history. Our mythic drama is to overcome extremely painful defeats. That's why the most popular song of the World Cup evokes right in its third verse "the boys from the Falklands whom I will never forget". And a little later puts that dreadful war on the same level as "all the final matches we lost, for so many years I cried because of them". That's how we feel about winning a World Cup: elation, retribution, relief, catharsis, poetic justice, divine compensation. It is a complex dramatic structure, curiously validated (or amplified) by fact --just review at the all the six final World Cup matches we played: no matter if we won or lost, those were utterly dramatic, epic, hard fought, hard lost or hard won.
    As you very well know, a narrative is a powerful way of transmitting values, ideas, symbols, hopes, the stuff of myth. For many nations, including Argentina, football provides such a narrative on an immediate and massive level, that no other phenomenon can match. Yes, it would be nice to send rockets to the Moon, to have a powerful and wholesome economy, to live in a well-structured and equitative society, to be recognized as a major geopolitical player... but while all of that is, alas, beyond our current possibilities... oh man, it will be nice to be World Champions for these next four years --at least.
    Thanks for your perspective. Hope you enjoyed the event as well! Cheers!

    Representa también familia, amor, recuerdos de la infancia, cultura, pasión. Atraviesa a cada uno de los argentinos, sea o no sea futbolero. Representa locura, tradición, libertad.
    Tenemos la famosa cultura del aguante. Alentamos para hacernos sentir, que los demás nos escuchen, que los que nos representen, sepan que tienen gente que les envía buenas energías siempre, pase lo que pase.
    Ser una nación futbolera tiene sus pro y sus contras, obvio. Desde niños muchos chicos se ponen una bolsa pesadísima en el hombro, más la presión de los padres de ganar o ganar. Es difícil... pero por suerte siempre se trata de mejorar.
    El fútbol es un deporte que nació en Inglaterra, Brasil lo hizo mágico con grandes exponentes y equipos... pero Argentina, al fútbol lo volvió un arte. Para muchos el fútbol y su equipo es su vida, pero Argentina lo lleva a un nivel superlativo. Las victorias se festejan como nunca, y las derrotas duelen más que para otros.
    Somos fútbol. Gracias Argentina, por ser un digno representante de la élite del fútbol mundial. ¡Vamos Argentina!

    In Europe, football is a highly competitive discipline just like any other. In South America it's a bit more than that - It's a huge trace of popular culture and identity, especially in Argentina and Brazil. Add up the fact that our countries have been dealing for generations with poverty, inequality, intense social, political and ideological divisions and you will find in football probably the only factor of common ground over this part of the world.

    I was born in Argentina but I live in Chile for the last 36 years (I’m 50), I also lived 1,5 years in Germany, so I think I might give my explanation why football it is that important in Argentinas life. First of all football it is the most important sport by far in the entire South America (with the exception of Venezuela which baseball it is as popular), every corner of South America has some football in it. Nevertheless, there is two aspects of Argentina (and Uruguay) life that might give the explanation why in this two countries football it is even more popular that not only South America, but also the rest of the world. Sports in Argentina are very important, when you meet somebody for the first time you ask name, what do you do for living and what sport do you practice, and if you check the history of the country, Argentina has been very prolific in sports, especially team sports. Basketball, Padel Tennis, Football, Polo, Rugby, Handball, among others are very popular in Argentina and have been source of great pride in the amount of trophies they had archived. But there is a even much bigger reason why Football is so popular, Argentina people used to be very focus on family ties, we meet every single Sunday, the entire family celebrate everything for whatever reason a meeting with all members invited and all involved in this reunion, so family it is a huge milestone in any Argentinian life. But this family ties are no only with your relatives, are also to your friends, your classmates, your working partners, everyone which is somehow related with you has the chance to be part of your very strong network of persons, like a team. This is totally the opposite way of life in comparison to most other countries in the world that are more focus on an individualistic way of life. And this specific Argentinian way of living it is something that every Argentinian family used to passed on to the next generation. When any group of Argentinian are trying to win any world tournament in any sports, the entire nation will join and support them, no matter how, but they will. They can spend a couple of year of working salaries paying flights, accommodation, and expenses in order to be there and support. It is the way Argentinians express their patriotism, emotions and way of life. This is also true even in music, just watch some rock concert from Argentina, even with bands from abroad (check ACDC for example), and you will see the same fanatism involved, we really express our feeling for what we love or admire, when we love something it is part of our life, it is part of our family.

    Tengo 60 años, vi a Argentina campeón del mundo en tres oportunidades, más el oro olimpico, mas los campeonatos sub 20. Para la inmensa mayoría de los argentinos el fútbol es una pasión y como tal no tiene explicación el sentimiento que en el equipo nacional o en nuestros clubes ponemos. Cuando juega la Selección la mayor parte de los argentinos estamos atentos al desarrollo de los partidos, porque el equipo nacional es casi como un símbolo patrio. Soy profesional universitario con casi cuatro décadas de titulación, fui profesor universitario, si lo analizo entiendo que el fútbol no es más que un juego, que un deporte, paralelamente un inmenso negocio, pero no puedo evitar sentir lo que siento, pues como el informe indica, la pasión por el futbol no distingue edades, ni clases sociales, ni niveles educativos, es algo que nos pertenece a todos, que lo gozamos y sufrimos en conjunto. Desde la obtención del título paso un mes y medio y todavía, sin olvidar el desastre socioeconómico en que la Argentina está sumergida, muchos viven en "modo Mundial", pues la alegría que nos dió el campeonato tiene un efecto terapéutico durarero.

No se aproxima ni de cerca, al concepto de subestimación o reivindicación de nuestro país frente a terceros, ni a una necesidad de reafirmar nuestro potencial como país. Un concepto arcaico, arraigado si lo está, en una escasísima minoría. Los argentinos somos competitivos por naturaleza, buscamos la victoria en todo lo que emprendemos y no claudicamos hasta conseguirla. Y el fútbol, no es la excepción.

    As an US/Argentinian, I am moved by the thoughtfulness and passion conveyed in your words. You have truly captured the essence of our culture and the complexity of our emotions as we navigate through the hardships of our history. The tango, the zambas, and the bagualas all hold within them the echoes of past struggles and the longing for deliverance. It is through these musical genres that we are able to express and process our grief, our nostalgia, and our longing for something better.
    And in football, we find a powerful narrative that speaks to us on an immediate and visceral level. It is through the game that we are able to experience the full range of human emotions, from the heartache of defeat to the elation of victory. The World Cup, in particular, holds a special place in our hearts, as it is through this event that we are able to transcend our everyday struggles and come together as a nation united in our pursuit of glory.
    As you have so eloquently stated, the narrative of football is a powerful way of transmitting values, ideas, symbols, and hopes. It is through this narrative that we are able to find solace, to make sense of the world, and to find a sense of purpose. As a young democracy, we are still finding our way, but the passion and unity that we find in football serves as a reminder that this is just the beginning.
    Thank you for your perspective and for your love for our culture. I hope you enjoyed the event as well, and cheers to many more moments of triumph and unity.

    Es inexplicable lo que el fútbol significa en Argentina. Es como dice la canción que coreamos "No te lo puedo explicar, porque no vas a entender"

    One of my earliest memories is going out to the streets of Buenos Aires with a ladle and an aluminum flan mold to make noise and celebrate the World Cup victory in 1986. It's been three and a half decades of shattered dreams and disillusionment since. But this year, things were different. Our Selección had a nickname - La Scaloneta - which was unheard of. And if that weren't enough, the nickname wasn't derived from the superstar but rather the coach. The team taught us all to persevere, to work as a team, to have each other's backs, and to put the common goal ahead of personal aspirations.

    In Argentina football is also related to the roots. Families going every weekend to neighbourhood clubs. And those clubs that play their own tournaments in comunal fields ("los potreros"), are where the scouts from profesional clubs get their talent. It´s precisely Messi´s story (and pretty much every player´s story), and he always enfazises in how powerful and important are, to this day, his chilhood memories in Rosario, when he and his family would spend the weekends at his neighbourhood club. So football and family are also related.

    Im an American but visited Colombia on vacation and watched the final there. I have been a Messi supporter my entire life and that final brought me to tears. The emotions I felt that day were indescribable. I felt like every Argentine out there going between moments of wanting to throw up with the nerves, anxiety and tension and the sheer jubilation that waxed and waned from one minute to the next. When the moment hit that Messi would lift that coveted trophy I felt like one of MY life's dreams had been fulfilled. Its hard to explain. I wish I was in Buenos Aires or Rosario celebrating with them.

    I am from Kolkata, India where football is a religion for most people, and not cricket, unlike most other parts of our country. I myself have been supporting Argentina since 2006, when I was 12 years old, and so have had the good fortune of following almost Messi's entire career, both in Barcelona and Argentina. I still can't believe he moved to PSG (even after two years).
    Argentina winning the World Cup was one of the happiest moments of my life and the Argentina flag still flies proudly on my rooftop, more than a month after the World Cup final victory.

    Gracias, muchas gracias a todos aquellos que elevaron su energía y nos iluminaron, fue una gran masa de energía en pos de una sola cosa: ver a Messi levantar la copa del mundo. ¡Oh, justicia divina!
    Aquí, aún, lo seguimos celebrando. Es cierto, ésto ha sido una gran inyección de energía para el pueblo, sobre todo para el que lucha día a día por seguir adelante.
    La eterna lucha del débil contra el poderoso.
    Para nosotros ésto ha sido un sueño cumplido. Por eso gracias por el aguante, al hincha, al simpatizante, al fanático, a todos los que nos acompañaron y nos dieron su amor, lo celebramos con ustedes! Gracias! 💙🤍💙⭐⭐⭐

    You need to know about Messi: a giant of football, and a humble person. For many years he played and succeded in Europe. We are very proud of him.
    But he couldn't win with our national team. He loves Argentina and truly wanted to win the World Cup.
    He decided to quit this team after some faillures but he came back, supported by every argentinian. And along with a great group of partners, and a humble but talented coach, they started to win.
    So everybody wanted to win the World Cup because Messi and this group were so inspiring and Messi deseeved it after so many years.
    That's one of the reason of this craziness about winning the World Cup.

      True...the messi factor is huge! It explains the almost religious fanaticism...his very last chance to win a world cup!!! In the bigger picture though I can't help that it doesn't really make that much sense. He is a great player, never personally let Argentina down...just didn't have the right circumstances ( until now) to realistically win a cup ( or 2)...and he did it when not at his best ( although he had a great tournament but the effort he put in was incredible. He was on a mission for sure! )
