Athletistic / Football. Argentine Vice President Victoria Villarruel has responded to the scandal surrounding the national football team. After the Argentines won the 2024 Copa America, they were accused of racism.
“Argentina is a sovereign and free country. We have never had colonies or second-class citizens, we have never imposed our way of life on anyone. And now no colonial country will intimidate us for a song or for telling the truth that I do not want to admit to itself.
Stop feigning indignation, hypocrites! Argentines always hold their heads high! Long live Argentina! Villarruel wrote on his social media page.
The song performed by the players of the Argentine national team after the Copa America 2024 final, in which the Albiceleste beat the Colombian team 1-0 in extra time, has sparked a wide reaction from the public. Celebrating the trophy, Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez went live on social media. Meanwhile, the sky blue players sang a derogatory song.
It should be noted that FIFA has already opened a disciplinary investigation into this episode.
