Two days after the second presentation of Lionel Scaloni’s team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, decisive against Mexico, the Argentine fans and the Aztecs staged incidents on the streets of Doha.
Several videos that quickly went viral on social media during the early morning in Argentina show several fights, both on the streets of the Qatari capital and inside a bar, where bottles and glasses were broken and several people were injured.
“Messi chest cold” was one of the most repeated insults by the Mexican fans who challenged the Argentines.
The quarrels, many of which ended with shoving and punching, began with cross chants typical of regular football folklore between the fans of two teams that met at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, with a heartbreaking victory for Argentina, and in South Africa 2010.
The most violent brawl took place in a bar, where a fan ended up with a bloodied face and bottles and glasses were broken due to being pushed in that small redoubt.
The anticipation for the match which will be played on Saturday from 16:00 in Argentina at the Lusail stadium first heated up with the chants of fans that criss-crossed during the day in the center of Doha and escalated into violent scenes at night.
On the sporting front, the match between the one led by Scaloni and the one led by the Argentine Gerardo “Tata” Martino could be decisive for the world aspirations of both.
Argentina, who suffered one of the most frustrating defeats in their World Cup history but are dependent on themselves to advance in Qatar, will be looking to rally and add three against an Aztec side who drew with Poland but are far from have a good football time. Martin asked.
