Paris 2024: France Knock Out Argentina In The Men’s Football

France beat Argentina in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Olympics Games (Men’s Football) by a lone goal. However, during the entirety of the game, tensions rose as a frantic final spell erupted. In fact, players from both teams ran inside to continue the argument as a raging brawl spread from the pitch to the tunnel.

Argentina had a different opinion about France’s victory. The entire situation descended into chaos, with nearly all members of either contingent engaging in physical confrontation on the field.

Jean-Philippe Mateta, France’s match winner, spoke about the post-match commotion:

“Argentina wanted to kill the party but they made the party even better”

Mateta won the game with an early header. After the brawl had stopped, Mateta and his teammates ran back out to celebrate, their joy evidently amplified by the reaction of the losing team.

The song that several members of Argentina’s team that won the Copa América last month sang about France’s players who were of African descent sparked a global outcry and justified hurt in a country that is a superpower because of its diversity. Its football players were aware of the significance of protecting their homeland, so they did so.

The Sevilla center back Loïc Badé stated,

“It was an important match because we felt insulted, all of France felt insulted, and we ended up as winners of the game”

Badé pushed Argentina substitute Lucas Beltrán off the ball and leaned over him as he fell, aiming clearly meant words at his face as the game approached a wild 10 minutes of extra time. At that point, it was obvious that something was in the making, so it came as no surprise when chaos broke out.

Badé stated,

“They insulted us throughout the game. I don’t know what they were saying because they were speaking Spanish, but they were gesturing.”

After the game, Millot, who will be suspended for the semi-final matchup with Egypt, stated that the gloomy circumstances had “given us a pep.” France certainly got off to a fast start, as did their supporters, who booed when the names of the guests were mentioned and whistled through Argentina’s national anthem.

Two of the three players who were brought straight into this team from the Copa America tournament, Julián lvarez and Nicolás Otamendi, attracted particular attention.

In the game, Olise won a corner kick in the fifth minute and whipped it perfectly to Mateta, who was a teammate of Olise’s at Crystal Palace until recently, who finished well across Gerónimo Rulli.

The fact that Mateta dealt the blow, whose father was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, might have been appropriate.

Argentina missed chances to tie the score, particularly when Giuliano Simeone missed a goal in the first half and when Beltrán missed a shot that sent their manager Javier Mascherano off the field with his head in his hands and was booked for his own bit of needle.

It was surprising to hear a wave of boos when Argentina’s names were mentioned out there, but perhaps it was no shock, either, that the public location commentator tried to hose any ill will in a purposely family-situated air.

Nine hours later, Bordeaux made the most noise. Henry made few observations during this time. He thought that his players could have kept their cool and tried to keep their lead. However, perhaps moderation was never necessary on this particular evening. France offered their proclamation boisterously enough so that everybody could hear.
