Why will anybody Support Argentina with their racist culture? There’s not a single black man on their team meanwhile there are Black Argentines but they have been marginalized. I don’t want them to win the World Cup!
Is it by force for them to add black to their team? You people get emotional over senseless things. Now they have to poach blacks by force before you support them. Support them or not they’ll succeed. When England picks our best talents you people will cry now Argentina has refused to use blacks and you’re still crying. Humans eh!!!
