The Times resource published the lyrics of the songs performed by the Argentines after the victory over Croatia (3:0) in the 1/2 finals of the 2022 World Cup. The video from the locker room was posted on Instagram by Albi Celeste defender Nicolas Otamendi.
Key lines of songs performed:
“What happened, Brazil? Wrinkled 5-time champion.
“Messi went to Rio and won the Copa (Americas-2021, the final was held at the Maracana - approx.). We are the army of Argentina and we will always sing because we dream of becoming world champions."
“Here I am, I am an Argentinean. English bastards from the Falklands - I won't forget them. This is how I come to sing and support Argentina everywhere.”
The singing videos featured Premier League players Lisandro Martinez and Julián Alvarez, representing Manchester United and City respectively.
Recall that in 1982, the Argentine dictator Leopoldo Galtieri organized a military operation to establish control over the Falkland Islands, which in Argentina are called the Malvinas. The British responded to the aggression and recaptured the islands until June 1982, after which Galtieri resigned.
Argentina still considers the Falkland Islands to be its own territory.
