"The reasons why Argentina deserves to be world champion": compilation of fan follies

The Argentine team is one step away from winning the World Cup in Qatar after a hesitant start to the championship. To do this, they will have to overcome the France of Kylian Mbappé, the current world champion and one of the most solid teams in recent times.

The hobby. The prize that Argentines surely deserve is that of the most passionate fans of the competition. Both in Qatar and in Argentina we have been able to see the crazy celebrations every time Lionel Scaloni's men have passed the round: broken televisions, kisses on top of a traffic light and even a grandmother turned into a world star.

The viral thread Based on these crazy festivities, the Twitter user @12Maibj has prepared a compilation of the most surreal scenes that Argentine fans have given us. "Reasons why Argentina deserves to be world champion", he titled it.

The bus jumper. The first clip that we see in the thread leaves no one indifferent. A man hopping from bus to bus shirtless as the mob cheers.

A tank and a peacemaker. Some preferred to celebrate one of the triumphs mounted on a tank down the street. Normal, wow. On the other hand, a clip of a boy who ended a fight by remembering that they were classified for the final also went viral.

social functions. But in the festivities there is also a space to help others. Look how the Argentine fans searched for the person who had lost a mobile phone in the middle of the celebration or how they tried to put a small child to sleep on the subway with a song.

A priest and a pool. Faith is not without joy, as we can see in this clip of a priest celebrating the victory of his country. Others prefer to enjoy in a more relaxed way with a pool in the back of a truck.

People who climb to high places. There are fans who like to literally celebrate in style. Either up on a traffic light or on the sculpture of a horse.

In numbers. The publication has had a great impact with more than 104,000 'likes' and more than 45,000 retweets at the time of writing these lines. In addition, the thread is still being developed thanks to the contributions of other tweeters who can be followed on the @12Maibj tweet.
