Day -672. #WorldCup2018
Following the Olympics on BBC text online I read a comment from a journalist yesterday who said he came across a group of singing Argentinians. But, he said, they're always singing!
It reminded of the great singing banter between the Brazilian and Argentinian fans at the 2014 World Cup. The Argentinian's favourite song was their taunt of Pele.
"Brazil, tell me how it feels
Having your Daddy here at home
I swear after all these years
We are never going to forget
That Diego slipped it by
To Cani who banged it home
You have been crying since Italy
Messi with no doubt
Will bring the Cup to us
Maradona is greater than Pele!"

And here they are singing it at Copacabana beach in 2014. Sadly, they will not be on that beach, singing that song, this year. While Brazil found some form when they needed to and made it to the quarter finals, Argentina were very disappointing. After a loss to Portugal, they beat Algeria but were eliminated after a tame, or lame, 1-1 draw with Honduras. Ah well, memories are fun. It's just too bad they got so close to having the wishes of their song come through in 2014, but Messi didn't quite deliver.
