FIFA World Cup 2026 - discussion etc

So, you’d think that after winning in 2022 Argentinians would be grateful and not very demanding of the national team… And you would be right, but our culture is our culture, so:

Translation and notes for those who do not speak Argentinian:

Win the the World Cup again or we’ll fucking shot you
Even if you defeat Brazil again we’ll fucking shot you

I don’t give a fuck about Lionel[1] or Olimpo[2]’s number 4
In Argentina, you have to win
Because I don’t know if you’ll get beaten going out of the pitch

The Argentina gang[3] is the greatest ever
Win the the World Cup again or we’ll kill you

The guys all crazy, pickpocketing in Miami
Or away stealing a bank armored truck only to see you[4]

It doesn’t matter if you are a fan of el Doque[5] or of Nueva Chicago[6]
What it matters is that we travel again to see la Selección.
