Argentina's Anthem of Glory Stains Copa Victory.

Posted 2 months ago

Argentina clinched the Copa America triumph, yet their celebratory antics left many questioning their sportsmanship.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is facing disciplinary action after a social media video surfaced, allegedly containing racist and discriminatory language according to the French Football Federation and FIFA.

The video shows members of the Argentina squad celebrating their victory over Colombia in the Copa America final, participating in a controversial song that questions the heritage of France's black and mixed-race players.

The incident has drawn global attention and sparked reactions from the Argentine government. Javier Milei's administration, known for its right-wing stance, typically opposes 'woke' sentiments.

However, Julio Garro, the under-secretary for sports, suggested that team captain Lionel Messi and FA president Claudio Tapia should apologize for the song, which he felt reflected poorly on Argentina.

Garro was dismissed from his position on Wednesday following his remarks, while others have argued against the necessity of issuing an apology.
