As a Bangladeshi, I couldn't have been happier. I was waiting for this day from 2010, since i was 10 years old. Talking about superstition, everyone was doing everything they can. I was also the same, even though i am an engineering student and believe in science and logic, i did not wear the Argentine jersey for a whole month because the first match they lost, i was wearing one. When i stopped wearing, they kept winning. So yeah, looks like it worked😂. Anyway, very happy to see Bangladesh being loved so much in Argentina and also the fact that it showed up in this video. We love you all.

[@zarifhassan2184]

I'm Bangladeshi. I experienced my first heartbreak during the worldcup '06 when Argentina lost against Germany in the penalty shootout. I was six years old and crying so much after the match. My Dad hugged me and consoled me. I cried the same after the final in worldcup '22. My dad hugged me again. But this time, the reason was completely different. That final completed my cycle as an Argentina football fan. Muchas felicidades por el segundo aniversario de tan increíble experiencia.❤

I’ve been watching Copa 90 for many years now. As with a lot of people here, waiting for this particular episode was quite nerve racking. A so now I must say this: This is the apex of what Eli has managed to contribute to the alternative football scene. I sincerely want to thank him for bringing into light the most beautiful side of this wonderful phenom we call football. This episode is not about the sport, it’s a sociological exploration of a country, and the extent to which football can move its population. Football will always belong to the people. Congratulations to everyone involved in this wonderful project.

Although we are not one nation, the joy and connection we feel when Argentina wins is incredible, and we genuinely love the team from the bottom of our hearts. When Argentina won the World Cup in 2022, Bangladesh went wild with celebrations across the country. People here have been rooting for Argentina and Messi, from the Maradona generation to the present. We grew up hearing stories of Maradona's greatness from our grandparents, and we witnessed Messi reaching paradise in 2022. Vamos Argentina! Love from Bangladesh. 🇦🇷❤🇧🇩

[@DepressedCapitalist]

I am Argentinian and football is overrated. Just a cheap passing emotion which is compared to eating a good chocolate or having an orgasm. I wish we could channel that passion for a greater cause. But no. It's always cheering for a bunch of rich people kicking a ball. Oh well...

[@urimacchiavello698]

@@DepressedCapitalist true, but, have you asked yourself why that is? En esa pregunta se constituye la ideocincracia del argentino. “Why do I get so f#%n emotional over some stupid game that’s not gonna fix my day to day problems, I mean this players won’t pay my rent, nothing in my life is gonna change weather they win or loose. So why is it that it hits us so deep??? I hate football for that exact reason, because I’m Argentinian and I live far away from my culture, and every time my team platense plays I can’t help it to curse aloud or yell at the tv or sometimes even cry, like recently when platense came back to the first division. Ask yourself that question and see what you come up with, personally I don’t think is a cultural thing, I think is a human thing, a condition, and I hate it, but I cannot change it, and neither can you

[@DepressedCapitalist]

@@urimacchiavello698 Yo tambien soy Argentino. I've asked that question many times. The answer is always the same. And it's ugly. Whether we like it or not, we are controlled by a simple sport. We have put all our passion into a fruitless sport. We have been living worse and worse since the return of democracy. All governments fuc... us, old citizens are dying, poverty keeps rising, insecurity is rampant, the cost of living is outrageous, high prices make essential things accesible only to a few. And yet, we don't complain. We keep paying taxes and watching football. Governments know we are sheep. The last time we were all in the streets was not to complain about how we live and force authorities to do something. No, it was in the obelisco to celebrate a football game. We are cursed with the fruitless, insignificant passion of football. Abrazo mi amigo.

[@urimacchiavello698]

@@DepressedCapitalist “ insignificant passion” is the correct word, y sin embargo eso es lo que el mundo aprecia de los argentinos, q a pesar de toda esa corrupcion que tanto te indigna, y a pesar de la calidad de vida que a muchos les toca vivir, todavía existe algo q los mantiene esperanzados, alegres, tristes, calientes, en fin, algo que los mantiene humanos y no “sheeps” como decis vos. Y claro que tenes razón, eso no te lo niego, el mundo es un lugar injusto. Tómalo de este perro viejo que se pasó la vida quejándose de las injusticias. Mira el otro día escuché en la radio una carta que le escribió una señora a Maradona, que decía: “yo odio a la persona que es Maradona, pero no puedo hacer más que darle las gracias xq en julio del 86 el país cursaba una situación muy fea, y yo lo único que tenía para darle de comer a mi marido y a mis hijos eran porotos, pero gracias a ese tipo que odio tanto en mi familia había felicidad y a nadie le importaba comer porotos todos los días, y por eso yo le doy gracias a Maradona” Entendes?

Love from a Bulgarian man here that has always been a Barca fan supporting Messi in every competition possible. This video and the past ones brought me to tears so manny times because it has allowed the Argentinian people to finally show their love for Messi after he grabbed the Word cup by the scruff of the neck and brought back the world cup for his people. This video has also shown me how emotional the people of Argentina are and has shown me how passionate people are about the game that I love. I remember the 2014 final and the heartbreak that i had then even at the age of 10 back then it was my first world cup that i had actively watched and I didn’t realise how hard it would actually be to get to the world cup final. The 2018 world cup elimination had me crying again, they were tears that I couldn’t explain to my friends and my mum because they don’t watch football and dont understand how emotional and passionate I am about this game. I was truly happy when Messi finally won an international trophy for Argentina in 2021 but I couldn’t imagine what was about to go down at the 2022 world cup. I love this sport and Argentina forever.

This documentary explains Argentina like nothing I have seen. Notice I don't say only Argentinean football, but Argentina as a whole. That final was EVERYTHING. When the final penalty went in, I went onto my knees, I thanked God, and I dedicated the win to my grandparents, who I felt in the room with me, physically. I think every Argentinean understands this, I think every Argentinean dedicated this win to a loved one who has passed, who they either experienced 1978 and 1986 with, or who told them about it. It's something too powerful for words to explain. It doesn't matter if you like football or not. For every single Argentinean this was a national cause. For two or three days, like hasn't happened before or since, social differences, political divisions, were irrelevant. In every city, town or village, everyone from the children to the grandparents went to the street together to celebrate, to embrace, to release from years of frustration, not just of football but the whole situation of the country. Not even in 1978 or 1986 was there anything like that, in just Buenos Aires 5 million people tried to go the Obelisc to celebrate, I don't know if any football game in hitory has seen a reaction like this. Long term did the society change because of this? No. Possibly the hard work and humility of the "Scaloneta" expressed a new ethos tof a younger generation compared to previous Argentine values, and helped to popularize this. But did this game lead to any economic or political difference that would not have happened anyway? No. But that is besides the point. The moment will be with all of us forever, whatever else will happen. The memory of seeing what our parents and grandparents saw, of seeing the hwole country proud and united, of the good honest people together int he streets wihtout fear of gangs or politicians, of the young people with their dreams having an example to be proud instead of being ashamed or angry of the country, that is the mirror of what Argentina can be, and whatever will happen in the future, we saw this example and we will not forget it.

Fue el destino el que estuvo de su lado en la Copa 2021 y el Mundial 2022. Por lo demás, Messi estuvo haciendo magia para Argentina incluso en 2014, 2015 y 2016. Ese gol contra Irán en los últimos segundos del partido de 2014 y millones de momentos más fueron producidos por él. Me pone triste que algunas personas simplemente no puedan aceptar que él es el más grande de todos los tiempos porque Maradona era Dios para ellos.

[@Daishi18]

@@tarunnagra3639 Es una cuestion bastante generacional. Aquellos que vieron a Maradona coronarse campeon en el 86 son los peores criticos de Messi, dado que la comparacion con el Diegote es constante. Pero consta que esa vision negativa es muchisimo menos intensa en las generaciones msa jovenes. Los jovenes, adolescentes y niños vivieron a Maradona a traves de los relatos de sus padres, pero nunca lo vieron jugar en vivo. Messi fue el "Crack" de su generacion, el referente en el futbol de las generaciones mas recientes, incluso de algunos de los mismos jugadores que ayudaron a concretar la victoria en 2022 (Por ejemplo, Enzo Fernandez y Julian Alvarez, quienes eran unos niños pequeños cuando Messi estaba en su prime)

Todo argentino deberia ver este documental...espectacular👏👏👏

El mejor que vi hasta ahora...por lejos

[@frenkie1281]

I’m from Pakistan and was studying in Sweden at the time. I’ve been an Argentina fan since my father told me about Maradona and 86 as he heard it on radio. I suffered with the team in 06’ 10’ 11’… 2014 hurt the most. But in a small Swedish city of Uppsala in a small bar surrounded by French students I remember weeping like a child on my knees & the best part two people (one from india and other a South American) came to hug me i didn’t know any of them. Then I called my dad and told him… you told me about maradona 86 I’ll tell my kids about Messi and 22. Thank you Copa 90 for this beautiful documentary

[@pedroperezrabasa8048]

Beautiful story, sending a hug from Argentina

[@TheFranZone04]

I am a Costa Rican journilst and avid supporter for Argentina and Lionel Messi. The production, dedication and level of passion demonstrated on this four part documentary is insane. I can only say thank you with tears on my eyes remembering this beautiful moment. GRACIAS MESSI GRACIAS ARGENTINA ⚽️❤️🇦🇷

[@soyeldoc]

As an Argentinian living overseas I have always struggled to explain people what this World Cup meant to us….. now I can just share this… thank you guys for capturing the magic, the madness, the beauty and the struggle of being Argentinian.

Thanks brother! Argentina awaits you with open arms!

[@ChelseaFCallday2]

I've been watching Eli and Copa90 for 12 years. I have loved everything that Eli has made. But this series is, without hyperbole, the greatest piece of football journalism I have ever consumed. I have never watched anything that has made me feel the range of emotions that this series did. The 2 year wait for this series was absolutely worth it. Eli, THANK YOU for sharing your passion and your gift of football storytelling with us.

[@DvdRod]

ëste documental de 4 capítulos merece varios premios de cine, es muy bueno.. GRACIAS POR LA BELL Y GENUINA REALIZACIÓN La apuesta de venir y realizar la producción sin saber el resultado final le da una épica muy argentina al documental... Muy merecido final para el país y para los realizadores.. UN gran abrazo a Eli, y no olvides Eli, hiciste el mejor Documental del mundo, de la MEJOR FINAL DEL MUNDO de la historia de los mundiales.. vos y tu equipo merecían el éxito tanto como la selección y el país todo. GLORIA ETERNA A LOS CAMPEONES DEL MUNDO!!! PD: estuve en el obelisco luego de la final... HISTÓRICO y ÚNICO fui y volví caminando 30 cuadras de ida y 30 de vuelta, desde mi casa y viví historias en la calle q demuestran lo que es éste país.. GRANDE ARGENTINA!!!

[@antonineutron]

I'm a Nigerian, Messi has hurt in the WC alot 😂 but 18th December 2022 I rooted for Messi to win He deserves it I'm sure, that day they were Frenchmen who wanted Argentina to win because of Messi😅😅

[@juango16]

Argentinian here, I watched the whole series and every single episode has brought me to tears, especially this one. Just remembering the nerves, every emotion felt from start to finish that day. Watched the whole WC with friends at my place, we sat at the same places every game, sang the anthem stood up and watched every penalty kick hugged as if we were players at the middle of the pitch. The moment Montiel scored the penalty, all I could think about was my 8 year old self, crying while my father hugged both me and my sister the day we lost against Germany back in 2014. While my friends ran out of my house to celebrate in the streets, I stayed inside crying and messaging my family through tears of joy, I had finally seen my national team, Messi, win a World Cup. Thank you for posting this.

[@merinsan6165]

Not all Argentines had the same opinion as those two unpleasant people who you interviewed. I'm 28 y/o and I grew up with people my age who loved Messi. When I was about 9 years old, my dad showed him to me on TV and said: look, he will be the best player in the world and he's Argentine. I remember my chest filling with pride. He is my idol. And he was before he won the WC. I thank him for the beautiful person he always was and I will cry tears of blood when I have to see him retire from the national team.I don't know of anything else than Messi in argentina. I can't imagine us without him. I know that most Argentines love and respect him. You are speaking with a minority.

[@tonyborean2808]

That is exactly what he was saying though. For the people that lived the days of Maradona and 86", and what that represented, Messi needed to win the World Cup. For people your age, he was everything winning or not.

[@johnf.r6658]

​@@tonyborean2808he didn't need to win or we kicked him out to "go to Spain" win or loose that final Messi is the best player of the world, look up the numbers, besides football he's and incredible person, we look up to him, that moron and his father should have shut up and keep their poor take for themselves

[@PatJDelaney]

The greatest world cup final shown by football's greatest story teller. A triumph in its totality

[@ShihabUddinFarhan]

Most thrilling documentary i've ever watched! I will never forget the nightmare in 2014 which turned into the happiest night in 2022! I may not be an Argentinian but i feel the same emotion for Argentina. Take love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

[@syukridarajat7708]

I’m not even Argentinian, but watching this video has overwhelmed me with emotion, bringing me to tears. Argentina and Messi truly deserved to win the World Cup-not only because of their history with two previous titles but because their victory in 2022, in such a dramatic and thrilling manner, was extraordinary. The people of Argentina and fans worldwide endured incredible tension and heart-stopping moments throughout the match. Messi solidified his status as the GOAT, but Emi Martínez delivered the save of a lifetime in the dying minutes of extra time, denying Kolo Muani’s golden opportunity, along with another brilliant stop during the penalty shootout. In 1986, Diego Maradona relied on Jorge Burruchaga and José Luis Brown to secure the win against West Germany. Similarly, Messi needed Emi Martínez and Di María to seal their triumph as the champions of the FIFA 2022 World Cup.

[@LazarusSlade]

You don't see the sociological problems of these people!?! The hive mind mentality and borderline psychosis! This country would never be ready to compete in the 21st century! Countries are moving onto AI, space travel, quantum computing, and robotics. And these people are willing to shoot each other for a soccer match! Don't you worry how easy can be distracted, manipulated and deceived just by a soccer ball because they think they can't compete on anything else!? Doesn't that worry you!?

[@anoopks121ks6]

Soy un bendecido Argentino que pude ver las tres veces campeón del mundo a la selección mayor y las 6 veces campeones del mundo sub 20 comenzando con el mundial del ´79 en donde el Diego ganó su primer mundial participando en el equipo. Pero éste último campeonato me movilizo hasta la médula, cuando observo a mís hijos llorar de emoción y eso no tiene precio. Somos campeones del MUNDO carajos!!. Gracias por hermosa producción

[@copadelmundo1986]

Soy otro con mis 60 años recién cumplidos. Sabes una cosa, muy pocas personas en este mundo han podido festejar eso. Quizas algún aleman de 70 u 80 años. Si sumas las 6 sub20 entonces NADIE, solo nosotros. Un abrazo!!.

[@user-kaykay10]

never knew i would enjoy a football documentary without the highlights of the games, just sheer emotions and reactions of the Argentine fans was sufficient to re-live the world cup in Qatar once again. This is possibly the best football Docu I have seen, Great Job @COPA90. Congrats once again to Leo Messi, The Best Player of the 21st Century by a Long Shot.

[@miguelseta1334]

[@lalimasson]

Eli, cuando dijiste que ésta era la mayor historia del fútbol de la década creo que te quedaste corto. Ésta será, por lejos, la historia más épica del fútbol del Siglo! Y algunos envidiosos se atreven a decir que nos regalaron algo! Sangre, sudor y lágrimas. Esa es la historia del fútbol argentino, y del país también. Lo bello es cuando las lágrimas son de alegría! 💖💖💖🇦🇷

[@dzeko231326]

As An Indian, this was something else. That day the world stood still to support a Country most have never even visited. The true power and Love for Messi ! ❤

December 18th, 2022. The day I turned 24 was also the first time in my families history that someone celebrated their birthday AND watch a cpuntry as passionate as Argentina win the World Cup. 2 years later, Copa90 blessed me with a birthday gift: A beautiful 2 hours, 4 videos of one of the greatest days of my life. I know El Salvador will never win a World Cup, but seeing Argentina win, watching Messi immortalized just like my father watched Maradona be immortalized, was a moment that I will never forget

I remember this day. There was an internet outage in my apartment and I bought mobile data for an insane amount to watch the game. Worth every damn penny. Vamos Argentina carajo!

[@sohamkhanna5584]

I watched this match in India with my best friends, one of whom is a die-hard Messi fan. When Argentina won, I saw him crying tears of joy, and I couldn’t help but laugh at him. But today, after watching this series, I’ve lost count of how many times I ended up crying.

[@StiofanMacSiomoin1798]

Congratulations to Eli and the team at Copa. You've created one of the most beautiful cinematic moments I can ever recall. You've encapsulated the raw emotions of Argentinian people. It was summed up beautifully at the end "the best story you could ever write about a football game". Thank you.

[@sudipmukherjee8474]

Supporting Argentina since 1994 with my first match Argentina vs. Greece. Since then, many heart breaks. But finally, the dream was fulfilled. Thank you, Messi.
