The wickedness of an Argentine fan: a group of Moroccans made a pyramid of glasses and kicked them

The Argentine national team was able to complete a more than complicated match against Mexico to settle back in the group after an unfavorable start. And while those led by Lionel Scaloni rest and train thinking about next Wednesday’s match against Poland, the Argentine fans do their duty on the streets of Doha.

Some have gone viral for their particular stories, others for controversial songs they led to Qatar or violent situations with Mexicans. And recently, the video of an Argentine fan who, apparently for no apparent reason, attacks a group of Moroccans with a rather heavy joke has become important on social media. The moment was filmed by a companion of the protagonist himself.

In the cutout, you can see at least three fans from Morocco doing a pyramid of plastic cups on the outskirts of the Doha Fan Fest, just as an Argentinian fan comes in front of the camera with nothing more than a couple of mischievous gestures, as if to play a joke. Soon after, the video shows this Argentinian fan in the middle of a race towards the cup pyramid, only to topple it with a kick.

The cut ends with the Argentine running away from the scene, in front of the astonished gaze of two of the Moroccans and the reaction of one of them who managed to run after him. In the background you can hear the laughter of the person recording the moment and little else. Apparently, these Argentinian fans will be returning from the Middle East without many new friends, albeit with one viral video to their credit. For these hours, the cut already accumulates more than 180 thousand reproductions.

The fight between Argentines and Mexicans in the middle of the game

Argentina versus Mexico. Fundamental match for Lionel Scaloni’s team at the World Cup in Qatar. Everything was in place to make it a great show at Lusail Stadium. However, what was supposed to be an exciting day turned out to be a pain for Argentines Federico and Luis Aguirre.

And not the kind football sometimes generates: they were violently beaten by a group of Mexican fans on the pitch. And they were also virtually detained for several hours. Barely 20 minutes had passed since the ball started rolling down the field. That was the time it took for the albiceleste shirts of the Aguirres to turn red with the blood from their wounds.

Is that the tension between the fans came from before the match. And when the match finally got underway and both teams needed the points already up for grabs, the chicanes turned into assaults that quickly escalated into violence. All of this took place in an area of ​​the stadium where the Mexican presence was visibly greater than the Argentine one. In this regard, the victims remarked that entering the stadium for the match “was a total disorganisation”.

“It’s my fourth World Cup, I always watch the matches and try to enjoy the show. We were calm, there were about 20 minutes in the first half. The national team is encouraged without offensive songs,” Luis Aguirre told Clarín his version of how the game started attack him and his son. And he added: “Suddenly 4 or 5 Mexicans appear who scold us, insult us, tell us ‘shit Argentines, who are they hitting? They pushed my son Federico from behind”.

He also insisted that neither he nor his son had “anything to do” with initiating the confrontation. “In no way did we start the problem, it’s more like we were in our position. I went to FIFA to ask for videos of the stadium so that it can be determined and it shows that they went looking for us,” says the Aguirres’ father, in the voice of both.

“We were advised in statements to downplay what happened and not make any claims so as not to get hooked on some cause here. Apparently this is nothing,” he said. Although she pointed out: “I will make all the corresponding requests in FIFA. This is serious, it could have been much more serious. But thank God they were just blows”closed the Argentine fan.
