Why did fans turn against Argentina — am I loved or hated for supporting the national team?
The image of the Argentine national team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has changed significantly, transforming from a beloved and widely supported team into one facing increasing criticism and rejection. Repeated refereeing mistakes and controversy surrounding the referees' decisions have heightened doubts about the integrity and fairness of the matches, especially with incidents that sparked widespread debate, such as disallowed goals and contested rulings. Additionally, aggressive behavior and political provocations, such as raising banners directed at the Falkland Islands, have deepened divisions, leading to diminished support from fans—particularly in some Latin American countries—and a rise in resentment toward the players' actions and their political associations. Nevertheless, there are still regions and capitals, such as India and Bangladesh, where the team remains highly popular, and the star player Lionel Messi continues to enjoy immense affection—especially as he approaches a historic achievement in the World Cup for the third time.
