AFA president Claudio Tapia has stated that Argentina won the World Cup when they beat England.
Claudio Tapia spoke at the AFA Sponsor Day event in the Lionel Andres Messi complex in Ezeiza. The AFA president spoke about the World Cup and the Argentina national team. Here is what he had to say:
“The World Cup was won when we beat England. This national team did something that hadn’t happened in a long tine. Beyond the sporting aspect, vindicating the soldiers and veterans of the Malvinas.
“At this World Cup, they managed to put the Malvinas back on the global diplomatic agenda.
“Beyond that epic nature, beyond the fact that the national team played with heart and that we played three matches for a full 120 minutes, I know that for Argentines, the World Cup was won when we beat England.”
Tapia also spoke about the Argentina national team:
“Playing five finals and winning four… I believe this is the best Argentina national team we have ever had. We are incredibly proud of these players for carrying our flag to the highest level.”
Alan Bane you spread the British propaganda so i guess you are one of them. Or from a country familiar to them. so i don t give attention to people like you.
I don t consider you as a person friendly to Argentina so whatever you say or will say have no value. it is garbage. just like you.
I am proud for be Argentinian and i know our history much more than you can imagine. So sell your British propaganda to people that don t know history. Not here. Not to me. Not to Argentinians. This place is for Argentine football and since you are British we don t need your political opinions. Stay in football.
SORRY PEOPLE. I will delete my post since the insult comment was deleted.
First of all you are the idiot not anybody else.
Second and most important you don t have any idea about the subject and spread nonsense.
HAVE YOU SEE COMMUNIST TO BE PATRIOTIC IN THIS PLANET ? OR SUPPORT RIGHT WING DICTATORS?
what are you talking about ?
MALVINAS ISLANDS BELONG TO ARGENTINA IDIOT.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT LEFT OR RIGHT. IT IS ABOUT ALL ARGENTINES WHAT WE BELIEVE. THE TRUTH. THE REALITY.
I have so many things to reply to you but i stop here from respect to ROY and to this site which is about football.
I don t know from which country you are but do us a favor and support something else. i don t want people like you to support my country. Every Argentine that can read your post will feel shame about you. As i am too. Thank God we are not many.
This subject is more important than football. Football is coming secondary in real life. First is ARGENTINA. after is football.
And to say simple the thing is
LAS MALVINAS SON Y SERAN SIEMPRE ARGENTINAS.
You understand IDIOT ? or you need to write in english ?
MALVINAS ISLANDS BELONG TO ARGENTINA.
Unless you tell us your country and we gather around 100 Argentines and ship to one or two uninhabitant islands of your country we put our flag and we start live there free by saying this 2 islands doesn t belong anymore to your country IT IS ARGENTINA ANYMORE !!!
NICE HA ??
every Argentinian I know does not claim the folkjlands as there s it never has been the British owned Argentina before Argentina existed and the uk Great Britain helped build Argentina to almost the richest country on earth
there is no case of the Falklands belonging to anyone but the folklaners who are British dissent and British citizens that’s like saying gurney jersey and Isle of Man belong to Russia or china not the uk of Great Britain
the falklands has nothing to do with football deleting posts makes you a far left Redditor commie hard offended is a mental disease
dictators who murdered your kids students and families took your kids out of schools universities sent them to a peacful island and invaded it
are you as fuking insane as the AFA president LEFT TARD
THIS IS A EMBARRASSING DISPLAY OF OFFENDED IDIOCY BY A THIRD WORLD PESENT
This is a ridiculous statement to insult the greatest sporting event on earth (IMHO). This is an insult to football. This is an insult to Tagliafico and Dibu who were the only two players who gave their everything in the Final and who, perhaps, did not bow to politics. I now respect them more than Messi, Scaloni and Tapia.
Tagliafico is class and one of the top left back in the world.
HIS A RAGING LEFT TARD
NEXT HE WILL SAY BATIGOL SCORED 54 NOT 56 GOALS LIKE ALL THE OTHER FUKING RETARDS HERE
What type of nonsense this guy is speaking?
Was this our aim to only win semi final??
Malvinas this that… this is sports kindly do not include politics in this .. this moron should keep his mouth shut
Yes defeating Englad was giving the team a closer shot to be champions, but whoever wins the FINAL game wins the world cup. Are we kidding ourselves here?
ITS FUKING EMBARASING 1 FOLKLANDS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOTBALL ONLY third world countries take there stupid politics to a World Cup
2 its all based on nonsense Argentina did the bad thing under bad men dictators
3 not one person living on te falklands for 100s of yrs is Argentinian the land mass has ben British longer than Argentina ever existed
4 they voted to 99% THAT THEY WANT TO BE BRITISH AND FOLKLANDERS and not Argentinian
5 the elites in Argentina only do this to rattle there low iq population and deflect there population from argetinas real issues as they fleece them
the wc is about football and gold cups and gold stars wtf has the folklands got to do with it that’s like saying the Super Bowl is about the antarctic
Can this corrupt bastard just shut the f**k up? Worst AFA president of all time. How is Argentina unable to find one decent person to lead the federation?
I can’t wait for more money laundering while we play another 100 friendlies against Panama, Guatemala, and Virgin Islands.
fuking mafia level utterly disgraceful 3rd world as fuuuuuk
