The Albiceleste footballers remembered a controversial song against France played during the World Cup in Qatar. They also remembered the Colombian team, in very hostile terms.
Delirium and hubbub. Argentina He had a real party after winning another Copa America . The Albiceleste established themselves as the double champions of the continent after beating Colombia 1-0 in extra time thanks to a goal from Lautaro Martínez.
The celebrations took place on the field of the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami until the transandine locker room. After lifting the trophy, they headed to the locker room. It was here that the first controversy of a day of tumult and happiness broke out.
Between songs, dances, photographs, hugs and jokes came the memory of the selection of coffees. In the middle of a broadcast made by defender Nicolás Otamendi, via Instagram, a refrain was heard: “Look, look, look, take a picture, they’re going to Colombia with broken asses “. “Hey, I liked that one.” “, approved a person present at the celebrations.
The laughter increased when someone remembered the song The Rhythm That Unites Us, by Ryan Castro and S0G. The Colombian artist’s song was released before the continental contest and went around the world.
Players like James Rodriguez, Jefferson Lerma, Matheus Uribe and Daniel Muñoz appear in the video. Even, Juan Fernando Quintero and Luis Díaz, more adventurous, sang their own verse. The song quickly became the Colombian anthem of the Copa América. And as the coffee team progressed through the tour, its popularity grew.
Therefore, after winning the final, the Argentines remembered it as a mockery. After the first chant, a transandean player pointed out: “Dale, today Sele is playing, I don’t know what, this song “The one on the national team, that one,” replied another.They say we dance it! “, they replied.
Controversy
Until then, there was no real problem. In Colombia, they felt the message, but it ended up being part of a logical celebration. However, the party continued inside the Albiceleste bus.
Thanks to another live, although this time by Enzo Fernández, the most intimate part of the team was shown again. The footballers continued the delirium and, amid multiple chants, they remembered France, their rival in the final of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
However, A dubious situation arose, since they sang a controversial song that the Argentine barristas dedicated to the Gauls during this contest. “Listen, throw the ball. They play in France but they are all Angolans. “, we heard in the file. “Cut the live!” they shouted at the driver, who ended the broadcast before the song could continue.
The event quickly went around the world and the criticism was quick to come. Lionel Messi’s team has once again been accused of being racist and xenophobic. This is without mentioning the homophobic connotations of the words that were not recited, and which directly attacked Kylian Mbappé.
