Argentina’s celebrations in the wake of their World Cup triumph in Qatar in 2022 were marred by racist incidents, targeting the France national team.
One chant in particular, created by Argentina fans in the wake of the World Cup final victory over France, was the source of controversy. The offensive and racist chant mocked the African origins of certain players within Les Bleus’ squad, including captain Kylian Mbappé.
The vulgar chant, which includes lyrics such as: “They play for France but come from Angola” and “Their mother is Nigerian, their father is Cambodian but on their passport: France”, has now been sung by the Argentina national team in the wake of their Copa América victory.
The chant was sung in the Argentina team bus, as shown in a live video, posted by Chelsea and Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez. In an attempt to avoid controversy, the live video was promptly interrupted by Fernandez but not before the racist chant, created back in 2022, was heard ringing around the Argentina team bus.

So if you are black and you support Spain and their descendants, Argentina in any sport or anything they do, think twice. If you have not read what they did to blacks in Argentina after their independence in 1816, go and read. Then you would see and know that they have never liked blacks and won't ever respect us. Their mockery and dialogue of blacks aren't recent. It's been ages. I have never liked them. You don't like me, I don't like you no matter how powerful you are and how an ant 🐜 size I am.

Where is the racism there? The majority of French players are from Africa... born in France, but their parents are Africans.... The Argentines are asking you and everyone who failed to understand that Africa is the only golden continent and we deserve credit.

This is no news because Argentina has always been a racist country. Have you asked yourself why there are an insignificant number of blacks in Argentina as compared to other South American countries? It is because they systematically eliminated( brutally killed) those blacks who unfortunately found themselves in Argentina

Man get over shit. Yes it used to happen all those years ago mainly bcos of cheat hatred and a huge lack of knowledge. But it's all in the past, fuck whoever hates black. That's their gaddam problem. Black is our colour and it's here to stay. Don't mind whoever doesn't like it. Don't go into such senseless fights.
