There are a lot of things that could have gone wrong during this summer's FIFA World Cup, a complicated logistical undertaking that included three host nations, 16 stadiums, 48 teams, 104 games and endless opportunities for controversy on and off the soccer field.
LONDON: Enzo Fernandez insists Argentina represented themselves in the “best possible way” at the World Cup despite the Chelsea midfielder’s red card in the final and a host of ugly incidents in their controversial campaign. Fernandez was sent off for a second booking after clattering into Spain’s Pau Cubarsi in the closing stages of normal time in Sunday’s 1-0 loss. The 25-year-old Chelsea midfielder’s premature exit was the latest in a series of clashes that cast a shadow over Argentina’s run to the final. Leandro Paredes appeared to throw punches at members of the Spain squad as they celebrated their victory, with FIFA subsequently launching an investigation into potential disciplinary breaches following the unsavoury post-match scenes. They also turned their backs on Spain when the Spanish received their medals and the trophy. Argentina’s players also caused controversy by displaying a banner reading “Las Malvinas son Argentinas” (The Falklands are Argentine) after beating England in the semifinals. Argentina invaded the British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic in 1982. But Britain regained the archipelago in a brief war after then prime minister Margaret Thatcher dispatched a naval taskforce. Fernandez took to Instagram to defend his country for their World Cup performance, but made no mention of his sending off in his message to supporters. “As time goes by, you realize there is something much bigger than just a result,” he said. “For years, this group has represented the team in the best possible way.

BUENOS AIRES: Critics blasted Argentina for dirty tactics and poor sportsmanship during their 1-0 loss to Spain, cementing the country’s status as World Cup villain that grew throughout the tournament. But Argentines argue they are just passionate and misunderstood. “I think we deserve some credit for not being very well-liked, because of this tendency to be arrogant and look down on most people from a pedestal,” said Leo Simone, 55, a lawyer, from his home north of Buenos Aires. “They confuse arrogance with pride,” his wife chimed in, preferring not to give her name. While star Lionel Messi is beloved around the world, anti-Argentina sentiment grew as critics argued they were FIFA’s darling and received favorable referee calls such as penalties and cards shown to opponents. Then came the final, replete with fouls, brawls on the pitch, and the Argentine squad turning their backs when Spain received the World Cup trophy. The New York Times called it a “tetchy, petulant and distasteful performance.” Former Germany player Thomas Hitzlsperger wrote on X that the team were “disgusting sportsmen” and British television personality Piers Morgan said “they basically just went around whacking as many Spanish players as they could.” Near Ezeiza Airport, where thousands of fans welcomed the players returning to Buenos Aires on Monday night, Maximiliano Heredia, a 35-year-old construction worker, said: “We’ve always been criticized, we’re used to it. But we always give it our all.” ‘We love it’ Many Argentines online wore the criticism as a badge of honor. “There’s something about Argentine irreverence that they can’t tolerate.
